It’s back to the amateur game for the time being after 15-year-old Charlie Woods, and the son of 15-time Major winning Tiger Woods, crashed out of pre-qualifying for next week’s Coznizant Classic at PGA National.

Red-hot Chilean golfer Joaquin Niemann is currently 31 places outside the top-50 on the World Rankings though he’s been afforded an ‘International Invitee’ invitation to compete in this year’s Masters at Augusta National.
