Charlie Woods joins dad Tiger at TaylorMade golf with NIL deal at FSU
Charlie Woods, a Florida State commit, has signed an NIL deal with TaylorMade, the company that sponsors his father, Tiger Woods.
TaylorMade Golf has inked a lucrative NIL deal with Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, as he prepares to make his college debut at Florida State University. The partnership came to light following Woods' strong performance at the American Junior Golf Association Junior Players Championship in Florida. Charlie, a committed recruit to The Benjamin School, was introduced by TaylorMade in a social media video showing his father removing golf spikes and putting on a TaylorMade hat.
TaylorMade CEO David Abeles praised Charlie's drive and desire to compete at the highest level, highlighting that only a select few college-bound golfers receive such financial support from manufacturers. Golf experts estimate that just 25 to 30 men's players are sponsored by equipment companies, underscoring the rarity of Charlie's deal.
Charlie's father, Tiger, has been a long-time ambassador for TaylorMade, adopting their clubs in 2017 and launching their Sun Day Red brand in 2024. Charlie's promising junior career includes a victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May 2025, where he beat a field of top-ranked juniors. Woods is currently 1-under and tied for eighth after the first round of the Junior Players Championship.
