Tiger Woods, Son Charlie Could Make PGA Tour History Together in 2027

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods could provide golf fans with one of the most anticipated moments of the 2027 PGA Tour season, and the setting couldn't be more fitting.

The possibility of the father-son duo competing in the same World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal at Diamante, a course Tiger designed himself, is generating interest following the conclusion of this year's tournament in Mexico.

There's no confirmation either Woods plans to participate, but Diamante developer Ken Jowdy has made it clear he'd welcome the opportunity.

"I would love to have Tiger play," Jowdy told Golfweek. "I'd love for both of them to play here, but I think for Tiger to want to do that, he wants to know that Charlie can earn it."

That last point might be the biggest obstacle.

Charlie, who turns 18 in February, recently signed to play college golf at Florida State University beginning in 2027.

The 17-year-old has established himself as a promising junior player, but making his PGA Tour debut would require another significant step in his development.

A sponsor exemption could provide that opportunity, although Jowdy believes Tiger would want his son to qualify based on performance rather than family connections.

"He'd want Charlie to prove he belongs there," Jowdy said. "I don't think he'd like for it to be given to him just because of his name."

Ironically, Tiger made his own PGA Tour debut at 16 through a sponsor exemption at the 1992 Los Angeles Open at Riviera Country Club.

Thirty-five years later, Charlie could potentially follow a similar path.

For Tiger, the bigger question involves his health and competitive future.

The 15-time major champion hasn't competed in an official PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open Championship.

He also hasn't announced when, or whether, he'll return to regular tournament competition.

El Cardonal would offer an extraordinary comeback destination.

Opened in 2014, the course became the first Tiger Woods design to host a PGA Tour event in 2023. The resort also features other Woods-designed golf facilities, including the developing Legacy Golf Club.

However, the tournament's future remains uncertain beyond its current sponsorship agreement, which runs through 2027.

And the logistics of having both players in the same field would require considerably more than a sponsor's invitation.

Charlie would need to demonstrate he's ready to compete against established professionals, while Tiger would have to be physically prepared for a competitive return.

The two have already shared memorable moments at the PNC Championship, but competing against one another in an official PGA Tour event would represent something entirely different.

For now, it's an intriguing possibility rather than an actual plan.

Still, the sight of Tiger and Charlie Woods walking the same fairways at a course their family helped create would be a remarkable chapter in golf history.
