Charlie Woods, who will follow in Tiger’s footsteps, won his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) championship.
The 16-year-old American won the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Bowling Green, Florida, by three shots.
Tiger Woods won eight AJGA matches between 1991 and 1993, the highest total after Phil Mickelson.
Charlie finished the final round of his fifth AJGA competition one shot ahead of overnight leader Luke Colton.
The teenager, who was ranked 606th by the AJGA, put together eight birdies for a six-under-par 66 on the Black Course at Streamsong Resort, which placed him 15 under the leaderboard.
The younger Woods had previously placed in 25th place at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March, which was his best performance on the AJGA circuit prior to this week.
He and his father have competed in the last five PNC Championship competitions, which are two-player teams made up of a family member and a major champion, and they both finished in the top five last year.
