Charlie Woods Signs with First Agency After Florida State Commitment as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus Boost Seminoles’ Golf Legacy
Charlie Woods has taken a consequential step in his early career by signing with Players Group Management after announcing he will play college golf at Florida State. Tiger Woods’ family ties and Jack Nicklaus’ imprint on the campus course have already contributed to momentum around the Seminoles recruiting class, a dynamic that could shape both Charlie’s path and the program’s profile.
Charlie Woods signs with first agency as Florida State commitment advances
The 17-year-old prospect has joined Players Group Management and will be represented by Allen Hobbs, who also represents Miles Russell, the world’s top-ranked junior and a future teammate at Florida State. Charlie is part of the university’s top-ranked 2027 recruiting class and does not yet have any NIL deals as he finishes high school.
Players Group Management counts several established professional players among its clients, and that roster places Charlie within a familiar orbit of touring talent. Miles Russell already holds commercial relationships with equipment and apparel brands, and Florida State’s golf teams wear a major athletic brand that could present natural partnership opportunities when Charlie arrives on campus.
The agency signing is a major early-career decision that positions Charlie to navigate representation and endorsement opportunities as he moves from high school competition to collegiate golf. For now, the move simply formalizes professional representation ahead of his campus arrival.
Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus strengthen Florida State’s recruiting appeal
Florida State’s recruiting gains reflect more than a single prospect: the program benefits from historical and familial connections. Jack Nicklaus’ involvement with the campus course, Seminole Legacy Golf Club, included a redesign effort initiated in 2017 that led to a multi-million dollar renovation and a reopening in 2020. That project, led by Nicklaus’ design group, reshaped the facility used by both the men’s and women’s programs and has been cited as a draw for recruits.
Charlie has practiced regularly with his father at their home course in Jupiter, and his commitment has been viewed as a meaningful link between a high-profile playing family and Florida State. Observers note that the presence of a player related to Tiger Woods can enhance recruiting cachet, access and attention for the program while offering Charlie exposure to elite coaching and resources.
On the course, Charlie’s recent achievements include helping his high school capture a state title with a 4-under 68 in the final round, earning first-team All-American recognition from the junior golf association, and holding a top-10 national rank in his recruiting class along with a top-25 standing in the junior tour ranking. Those credentials underpin why Florida State’s top-ranked recruiting group attracted his commitment.
What’s next for Charlie Woods and Florida State’s 2027 class
- Representation and preparation: With agency representation in place, Charlie will navigate the transition to collegiate golf while remaining without NIL deals for the moment.
- Teammate synergies: Joining a class that includes the world’s top junior player creates high expectations for internal competition and development.
- Program infrastructure: Continued attention to Seminole Legacy and planned enhancements to the course could further elevate the program’s competitive environment.
This development is an early chapter in Charlie Woods’ collegiate trajectory. Tiger Woods’ name and Jack Nicklaus’ course work have already amplified Florida State’s profile; Charlie’s agency choice and on-course resume set the stage for how both player and program will evolve over the coming years. Recent updates indicate these details may continue to change as Charlie finalizes his transition to campus competition.
