“History in the making” Charlie Woods Earns Major AJGA Honor After Standout Season
Charlie Woods’s impressive run on the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tour continues to turn heads. On Wednesday, the AJGA announced its 2025 Rolex Junior All-America Teams — and Woods earned a coveted spot among the nation’s best.
The young golfer was named to the AJGA’s First Team All-America, one of only 12 players to receive the honor. Currently ranked No. 9 in the AJGA standings, Woods competed in six events this season.
A member of the Class of 2027, Woods claimed victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, finishing 15-under par — three strokes clear of the field.
His season had its ups and downs, showcasing both growth and resilience. He opened the year with a tie for 52nd at the Dustin Johnson World Junior Championship, followed by a T-25 at the Junior Invitational. A rough week at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship saw him finish T-196, but he rebounded quickly with a T-9 finish at the Boys Junior PGA Championship. Then, in August, he thrilled fans by making a hole-in-one at the Junior Players Championship, ultimately finishing T-31. Not bad for a 16-year-old carving his own path in the game.
All eyes will be on Woods next year as the son of Tiger Woods is expected to make his college commitment — a decision the golf world will be watching closely.

Meanwhile, golf tech company Full Swing raised eyebrows with its first-ever “Ultimate Launch Monitor Challenge” — a bold, head-to-head test of launch monitor accuracy. The event showcased the company’s new KIT Launch Monitor, co-designed by Tiger Woods himself.
Held at the massive Oceanside Sports Complex in California — a 52-acre facility usually reserved for soccer — Full Swing built a temporary driving range to compare its KIT directly against two industry heavyweights: the Trackman 4 and Foresight GCQuad.
With media members and golf influencers on hand, each shot’s actual distance was measured manually by spotters using rangefinders and compared against what each device recorded. The testing conditions were strict — every device ran the latest software, and all shots were hit with Titleist Pro V1x balls for consistency.
The event stood out because it’s rare for a company to publicly pit its product against rivals in real-world testing. Considering the Full Swing KIT retails for $4,999 (compared to $25,000 for Trackman 4 and $18,000 for GCQuad), the move was gutsy — and eye-opening.
The Full Swing KIT, developed in collaboration with Tiger Woods, uses Doppler radar technology to track 16 performance metrics while also recording high-resolution video of every swing. Its new Full Swing Combine, powered by Clippd AI, offers a “shot quality” score — giving golfers instant, intuitive feedback rather than overwhelming data points.
With its blend of pro-level accuracy and accessibility, Full Swing is positioning the KIT as the most complete and affordable launch monitor for serious players — amateurs and pros alike.
