The golfing world is buzzing as Charlie Woods, son of the legendary Tiger Woods, has officially signed with his first agency, Players Group Management. This marks a significant milestone in the young athlete’s career as he prepares to begin his college golf journey at Florida State University.
Following a Familiar Path
The 17-year-old will be represented by Allen Hobbs, who also manages Miles Russell, the current world’s top-ranked junior player and soon-to-be teammate at FSU. This connection is no coincidence, as Players Group Management already represents Russell, demonstrating their strong foothold in the junior golf scene. The agency declined to comment when contacted by Sports Business Journal.
Florida State Bound & NIL Potential
Charlie, a member of the incoming 2027 class, is focused on his collegiate career for now and doesn’t currently have any Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals in place. However, the potential for lucrative NIL opportunities is substantial, given his famous lineage and burgeoning talent. His teammate, Miles Russell, already boasts partnerships with major brands like TaylorMade, Nike, and Liberty National Golf Club.
A Growing Roster at Players Group Management
Players Group Management has quickly become a prominent agency in the golf world, representing a roster of established professionals including Sahith Theegala, Will Zalatoris, and Caleb Surratt. This demonstrates the agency’s ability to nurture talent and secure valuable partnerships.
Tiger Woods’ Representation
Interestingly, Tiger Woods himself remains represented by Excel Sports Management, highlighting the different paths each golfer is taking in managing their careers. While Charlie is forging his own way, the influence of his father’s success is undeniable.
What This Means for the Future of Golf
Charlie Woods’ signing with Players Group Management is a clear indication of his commitment to a professional golf career. As he progresses through college and beyond, all eyes will be on him to see if he can live up to the immense expectations that come with being the son of a golfing icon.
