Charlie Woods unharmed after close call as Tiger and Elin Nordegren watch on.

The opening round scorecard of Charlie Woods during the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship became a backstory to an 11th hole injury scare in front of parents Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren.

Round 1 saw Charlie Woods barely avoid a potentially bad injury after a recovery attempt turned dangerous under the trees at Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables, Florida. After his ball landed beneath a tree and he took a risky shot, it clipped a root and shot back toward his face.

Charlie immediately dropped his club and took a defensive shell to avoid any injury in front of Tiger and Nordegren. He was quick enough to avoid any ricochets as the fans in attendance let out a collective gasp. Charlie walked into the event fresh off playing his part in another major achievement, and after his true net worth emerged after his ‘I’m broke’ claim and trust fund revelation.

Charlie steadied himself, played a wedge onto the green, and rolled in a long putt to save par.

Tiger responded and said: “Hell of a shot,” for his son as a proud, supportive parent.

Tiger’s son finished the first round with a two-over-par 73, placing him tied for 24th in a loaded 48-player boys field. The effort left Charlie within striking distance but far from leader Giovanni Binaghi’s -10 score, as the only double-digit under-par score of the competition.

Day 1 closed on the women’s side with New York City’s Nina Choe posting a joint (-4) score with Carlsbad, California’s Mia Clausen.

The Junior Orange Bowl is one of the longest-running international invitational amateur tournaments in the world over six decades of history.

Should Charlie win the event, he would join his father, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson, Joaquin Niemann, and others who have transitioned from junior hopefuls to PGA Tour stars. Tiger famously won the event in 1991 by 14 strokes.

Tiger and Elin’s appearance together at Biltmore followed their meeting in 2001, engagement in 2003, and wedding in Barbados in 2004.

Their marriage produced two children, Sam in 2007 and Charlie in 2009. However, it ended publicly after Tiger’s infidelity scandal, leading to their divorce in 2010. Since then, they have developed a stable co-parenting relationship.

They have both been present at other events for Charlie, including the Florida High School ACC 1A State Championship and the PNC Championship, where Tiger and Charlie teamed together.

The pair even shared a hug after Charlie earned his first hole-in-one in Orlando with Sam present to witness the moment.

Both of Charlie’s parents have moved on with their lives. Tiger has been dating Vanessa Trump since March 2025, and Nordegren has maintained a long-term relationship with ex-NFL tight end Jordan Cameron since 2017.

One swing on the 11th hole nearly changed Charlie Woods’ week at the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship as parents Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren watched.

One swing on the 11th hole nearly changed Charlie Woods’ week at the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship, a moment that briefly shifted the focus from competition to concern as his parents, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, watched closely.

The Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship is known as one of the most prestigious junior tournaments in the world, attracting elite young talent and placing players under intense pressure from the first tee to the final green. For Charlie Woods, the event represented another opportunity to test himself against top competition while continuing to grow his own identity in the sport—separate from, yet inevitably linked to, his famous last name.

That balance was tested on the 11th hole when a single swing led to an unexpected and tense moment. While the specifics unfolded quickly, it was the kind of split-second situation that reminds everyone how unpredictable golf—and sports in general—can be. What began as a routine shot suddenly drew attention not to the scoreboard, but to Charlie himself.

Spectators nearby fell quiet, and all eyes turned toward the fairway. Among them were Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, who, like any parents, momentarily shifted from supporters to protectors, watching closely to make sure their son was okay. The pause was brief, but the weight of the moment lingered, underscoring how thin the line can be between a normal round and a potentially defining setback.

Fortunately, Charlie was able to continue, showing composure beyond his years. He reset, refocused, and carried on with his round, a testament not only to his physical resilience but also to his mental toughness. Those qualities have become increasingly evident as he gains experience on bigger stages and navigates the unique pressures that come with being Tiger Woods’ son.

Tiger Woods

Tiger, a 15-time major champion who has endured his own share of injuries and career-altering moments, has often emphasized patience and perspective when it comes to Charlie’s development. Elin Nordegren, equally supportive, has helped ensure that Charlie’s journey in golf remains balanced, grounded, and age-appropriate. Together, they have consistently prioritized his well-being over results, a philosophy that felt especially relevant in that moment on the 11th hole.

As the tournament continued, the near-miss became just one chapter in Charlie’s week rather than the story itself. Still, it served as a reminder that junior golf, despite its growing spotlight and rising stakes, is ultimately about growth, learning, and staying healthy—both physically and mentally.

For Charlie Woods, the incident did not define his performance, but it did highlight his maturity and the strong support system around him. One swing may have nearly changed his week, but his response ensured it became a lesson rather than a turning point.

Judge orders Gervonta Davis to jail after boxer spent house arrest at Four Seasons, luxury condo

Boxing champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was serving out his home detention sentence for a 2020 hit-and-run at a Four Seasons Hotel and a $3.4 million high-rise penthouse that he bought in South Baltimore, prompting a judge on Thursday to order him to immediately be taken into custody.

Baltimore Circuit Judge Althea M. Handy said she gave permission for Davis, 28, who had been living in Parkland, Florida, to do the house arrest at the home of his longtime coach and trainer, Calvin Ford, in Baltimore. She said she was never asked to change that location.

“The reason I didn’t want him in Florida is because this was not a holiday,” said Handy, who later added that she did not want Davis to be sitting by the pool or hanging out at the spa. “He was serving time. And I was being considerate enough to let him do it on home detention.”

The Baltimore Banner reviewed a recording of the court proceeding, which started after 5:15 p.m. The hearing neither appeared on the daily calendar for Baltimore Circuit Court nor was docketed in the Maryland Judiciary Case Search.

Throughout the hearing, Michael Tomko, Davis’ attorney, repeatedly told the judge to blame him.

Tomko said he and his client were caught off guard with the requirement to do the house arrest in Baltimore. Ford, though, has a one-bedroom home that could not accommodate the team that provides 24/7 security to Davis.

At one point, Tomko implored the judge to not punish Davis for having fame or money, adding that it’s sometimes hard for individuals to understand that “people can attack famous people or hurt them or not want them to fight or win.”

No one wanted him to live in the hotel, Tomko said. He said he worked with his client’s team to buy the condo as quickly as possible to move Davis to a safe location.

“I don’t think that Mr. Davis did anything wrong except listen to his lawyer,” he later added.

But Handy said Davis had plenty of time before his sentencing to find a place in Baltimore. She said she considered his safety when handing down the punishment, noting “he certainly didn’t do anything to impress me at his sentencing.”

Davis did not speak at the hearing.

Later, Handy revoked Davis’ home detention and ordered him to immediately begin serving the “remaining balance of his sentence.”

“Judge,” Tomko said, “how is that fair?”

Court Records Reveal: Boxer Gervonta Davis Faces Arrest Warrant While Evading Civil Lawsuit

MIAMI — Boxer Gervonta Davis, who was recently hit with an arrest warrant stemming from accusations of domestic violence in Miami Gardens, has, since November, also been avoiding being served with a civil lawsuit regarding the same issue.

The suit alleges that on Oct. 27, 2025, Davis ― known by the nickname “Tank” ― went to his ex-girlfriend’s workplace, the popular strip club Tootsie’s, and grabbed, choked and dragged her through a stairwell and kitchen into a parking garage.

Courtney Rossel claims that Davis, 31, hit her in the back of the head and tried to force her into his car before she escaped.

Rossel’s complaint, filed three days after the alleged incident, claims battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

A Jan. 6 filing by Rosell’s lawyer indicates that process servers made five unsuccessful attempts to serve Davis with the suit at his home. They said his previous attorneys, as well as a business manager and a publicist, would not accept service or provide information about his whereabouts.

As of Monday, Miami Gardens police and U.S. Marshals were still looking for Davis.

$6 million Ryder Cup – Rory McIlroy has fitting solution for LIV stars’ $6 million Ryder Cup problem

Rory McIlroy: Luke Donald’s opening speech from the 2025 Ryder Cup was many things. Subtle was not one of them. “It is not about prize money or world ranking points – it’s about pride,” Donald said from the dais at Bethpage Black. “It’s about representing your flag, your shirts and the legacy you leave behind.”

And he wasn’t done there.

“We are fueled by something money cannot buy,” Donald said. “Purpose, brotherhood and a responsibility to honor those who came before us, while inspiring those whose time is yet to come.”

In the early momets of that Bethpage Ryder Cup, Donald made the European stance on the matter clear: Money would not be the centerpiece of the European Ryder Cup issue. Unlike the Americans, who endured two years of controversy on the issue of player pay in the Ryder Cup, the Euros maintained their long-standing position that they would pay for the right to play in the Ryder Cup.

Now, just several months later, Rory McIlroy has a message for a handful of his fellow Ryder Cup teammates: Why not put your money where your mouth is?

McIlroy’s message Wednesday morning in Dubai was directed at two key LIV competitors, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, whose Ryder Cup eligibility has come into question. The issue at the center of Rahm and Hatton’s Ryder Cup status centers around freedom of employment. Rahm and Hatton believe they should be allowed to compete on any professional tour they wish without penalty, even if those tours are competitors; the DP World Tour and PGA Tour rule books, though, beg to differ. According to the bylaws, players competing on rival tours are subject to fines, and players with outstanding fines are ineligible to compete in the Ryder Cup.

Tiger Woods

In 2025, Hatton and Rahm earned a small victory: a stay on their fines while they awaited a final verdict on their appeal to have those fines removed. Given the timing, both golfers were allowed to compete at Bethpage, provided they played the minimum number of events to maintain DP World Tour membership.

But now, in 2026, those fines remain an issue. With a verdict expected later this year, both golfers face a tricky binary: pay the fines, or advocate for a rule change to get around them. On GOLF’s Subpar podcast, Rahm indicated his fines alone were in excess of $3 million – and given the timing of Hatton’s departure, Hatton’s likely are in a similar neighborhood. Call it $6 million all in, give or take.

“Do I think fines are going to magically disappear?” Rahm said. “I don’t think so. But I think that’s going to slowly go away. I know it’s between one and one-and-a-half million per year.”

As of now, the only way for Rahm and Hatton to earn Ryder Cup eligibility would be for both players to pay their fines – and that’s precisely what McIlroy has advocated for the two LIV Ryder Cup stars to do.

“Look, this is my opinion,” McIlroy said at the Dubai Desert Classic. “We went really hard on the Americans about being paid to play the Ryder Cup, and we also said that we would pay to play in Ryder Cups. There’s two guys that can prove it. Great.”

There’s little question that Rahm and Hatton have the financial means to pay off even a hefty DP World Tour fine. Rahm has earned $76 million in two years at LIV, while Hatton has earned more than $22 million – and that’s not including the signing bonuses both players received for making the jump. (Rahm’s signing bonus is estimated to be more than $200 million, while Hatton’s has been reported around $60 million.)

Charlie Woods

But there’s also little doubt that Rahm and Hatton’s payments would mark a curious twist in the Ryder Cup payment saga, should they come to fruition. Following the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, which sparked a prolonged debate over American player pay, Rahm and Hatton’s fines would amount to a forfeiture of more than 10 times the paycheck given to each American player in 2025. The two LIVers would be, in essence, buying the high ground for the European side for good.

The invitation-only American Junior Golf Association event features a loaded field of elite junior golfers.

Reigning tournament champion Miles Russell, the current No. 1 player in the AJGA’s Rolex Rankings, and Royal Palm Beach’s Giuseppe Puebla, the current AJGA No. 2. Six of the AJGA’s current top 10, as well as 14 of the top 20 overall players, headline the field.

 

Fourteen Floridians are registered for the event, including a strong Palm Beach County contingent of Puebla, Woods, North Palm Beach’s Wylie Inman and Riviera Beach’s Brooks Colton.

Woods is currently ranked No. 21 in the latest Rolex AJGA rankings.

Over the last year, he’s played in eight events that have contributed points to that ranking, including a win at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May and a tied for ninth finish at the Boy’s Junior PGA Championship in July.

Among other rankings services, Woods is No. 43 in the Universal Golf Rankings’ boys junior poll and No. 61 in Junior Golf Scoreboard’s boys rankings.

Anthony Joshua’s Family Speaks Out, Questions Prosecution of Trusted Driver After Deadly Crash

Anthony Joshua’s family has spoken publicly for the first time following a tragic road accident that claimed two lives, raising serious questions about the decision to prosecute the heavyweight boxing star’s longtime driver.

The fatal crash, which sent shockwaves through the sporting world and beyond, has quickly become more than a legal matter. It has evolved into a deeply emotional and controversial case, touching on grief, accountability, loyalty, and the complexities of justice when high-profile figures are involved.

At the center of the case is a devastating accident that resulted in the deaths of two people. Authorities moved swiftly to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, and prosecutors later announced their intention to bring charges against Anthony Joshua’s driver, a man who has reportedly worked closely with the former world champion for years.

While the loss of life has been universally acknowledged as heartbreaking and irreversible, Joshua’s family has made it clear that they believe critical questions remain unanswered about how responsibility is being assigned.

In a statement shared through representatives, members of Joshua’s family expressed sorrow for the victims and their loved ones, emphasizing that their thoughts remain with those affected by the tragedy. However, they also voiced concern over what they described as a “rushed” decision to prosecute, suggesting that the driver may be being treated unfairly due to his association with a global sports icon.

According to the family, the driver has a long-standing reputation as a careful, professional employee who had never previously been involved in a serious incident. They argue that this history should weigh heavily in any legal assessment, alongside a full and transparent examination of the evidence.

“This is a tragic situation for everyone involved,” the family noted, “but tragedy alone should not determine guilt.”

The decision to proceed with charges has sparked debate among legal observers and fans alike. Supporters of the family’s position argue that public pressure and media scrutiny may be influencing the case, particularly given Joshua’s fame and the intense attention surrounding anything connected to his name.

Others counter that the prosecution is simply following the evidence and that no individual should be shielded from legal consequences, regardless of their employer or status.

Legal analysts note that prosecutions in fatal crash cases often hinge on technical details — speed, road conditions, mechanical factors, and witness testimony — and that outcomes can vary significantly depending on jurisdiction and the interpretation of negligence.

Anthony Joshua’s Position

Anthony Joshua himself has not made an extensive public statement, reportedly following legal advice. Those close to the boxer describe him as “devastated” by the loss of life and deeply conflicted by the situation involving someone he has trusted for years.

Joshua’s career has long been defined by discipline, responsibility, and a carefully managed public image. This incident, however, has placed him in an unenviable position — mourning a tragedy while watching a member of his inner circle face potentially life-altering legal consequences.

Gervonta Davis

Reaction on social media and in the wider public has been sharply divided. Some fans have rallied behind Joshua’s family, urging authorities to ensure the case is handled without bias or external pressure. Others insist that the focus must remain on the victims, warning against narratives that could be seen as minimizing the severity of the loss.

Victims’ advocates have also weighed in, stressing that questioning a prosecution should never be interpreted as questioning the value of the lives lost.

As the case moves forward, the driver is expected to appear in court, where prosecutors will present their evidence and the defense will have an opportunity to challenge the charges. Legal experts caution that early public statements, while emotionally understandable, will have no bearing on the ultimate legal outcome.

For now, the tragedy remains unresolved — a painful reminder of how quickly lives can be altered, and how justice, grief, and public scrutiny often collide in cases involving high-profile figures.

One thing is clear: this is no longer just a story about a crash. It is a complex human drama, with lives lost, futures at stake, and a family demanding that the legal process be both fair and thorough as it runs its course.

Charlie Woods Walks Away From Junior Orange Bowl As Final Results Are Confirmed

Charlie Woods’ latest appearance on one of junior golf’s biggest stages once again placed him firmly in the spotlight. As final results from the prestigious Junior Orange Bowl were confirmed, the focus quickly shifted beyond the leaderboard to the bigger picture — what Woods’ performance revealed about his development while competing under constant scrutiny.

The Junior Orange Bowl has long been considered a proving ground for elite junior golfers, a tournament known for launching careers and testing young players against strong, international fields. For Charlie Woods, simply teeing it up comes with added pressure. As the son of Tiger Woods, every round is closely followed, every swing analyzed, and every finish measured against expectations few teenagers ever face.

Throughout the tournament, Woods showed flashes of the talent that has made him one of the most talked-about young golfers in the game. His composure, shot selection, and willingness to stay aggressive in key moments pointed to steady progress, even as the leaderboard proved unforgiving.

Competing against a field stacked with top junior prospects, consistency was difficult to maintain — a challenge shared by many players navigating a demanding course setup. Like others in the field, Woods was tested not just by the competition, but by conditions that left little room for error.

When the final scores were posted, Woods walked away from the Junior Orange Bowl with a result that may not quiet critics or generate headlines about dominance, but it added another important chapter to his growth. In junior golf, development often comes through tough rounds and hard lessons, and this event was no exception. Observers pointed to improvements in his ball striking and course management, even as missed opportunities ultimately shaped his final position.

Charlie Woods

The pressure surrounding Woods is unlike anything most junior golfers experience. Few compete knowing cameras, fans, and social media are tracking nearly every shot. Yet time and again, he has shown an ability to handle that attention with maturity beyond his years.

Rather than reacting emotionally to setbacks, Woods remained focused on the process — a mindset many believe reflects the influence of his father’s championship mentality.

While some fans judge performances strictly by results, coaches and analysts tend to look deeper. Tournaments like the Junior Orange Bowl are stepping stones, not final judgments. Long-term trends, adaptability, and resilience often matter more than a single finish on the leaderboard. In that sense, Woods’ performance reinforced the view that he is still learning, building, and adjusting — exactly where a player at his stage should be.

With the Junior Orange Bowl now behind him, attention naturally turns to what comes next, as Woods is expected to continue developing his game through upcoming junior events and competitive opportunities.

Amid growing uncertainty: Shock contenders emerge as WBA weighs replacements for Gervonta Davis

As Gervonta Davis deals with yet another legal issue — the same one that pulled him from his fight with Jake Paul — the WBA recently stripped him of his lightweight title. The organization is already planning to move on with a pair of vacant title fights in mind.

The WBA will crown its new 135-pound champion by having No. 1 contender Floyd Schofield face either No. 2-ranked Lucas Bahdi or No. 4-ranked Lamont Roach Jr., according to boxing reporter Dan Rafael.

While Davis has not officially announced his retirement, he has practically confirmed that the end is near. At the very least, it will be a while before ‘Tank’ returns to the ring, convincing the WBA to move on.

The WBA appears intent on having Schofield in its vacant title fight. ‘The Kid’ was booked to face WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson in February 2025, but fell ill during fight week and was replaced by Josh Padley.

Bahdi makes the most sense from the rankings perspective, but more fans would want to see Roach in the vacant title picture. Many still believe that Roach should already own the belt, given his controversial draw with Davis in March 2025, which was the latter’s most recent fight.

Gervonta Davis

Davis and Roach were expected to rematch after that fight, but ‘Tank’ instead surprised fans with the Paul fight. Roach went on to fight Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz to another draw in December 2025, leaving him officially winless since June 2024.

Schofield, 23, made himself the No. 1 contender when he stopped Tevin Farmer with a shocking first-round knockout in June 2025 on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. That fight was his only fight of 2025 and his only outing since withdrawing from the title fight with Stevenson.

The 31-year-old Bahdi is one of the top male fighters signed to Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. He went viral for his highlight-reel knockout of the previously undefeated Ashton Sylve in July 2024 and has rattled off three more victories since. Bahdi’s last win came over former super featherweight champion Roger Gutierrez in August 2025.

Although not mentioned by Rafael, Bakhodur Usmonov is ahead of Roach in the WBA rankings at No. 3. Usmonov is coming off a majority decision nod over former IBO champion Maxi Hughes in December.

Tragic questions loom as Anthony Joshua’s driver appears in court after deadly crash

A chauffeur who was driving Anthony Joshua when their car crashed, killing two of the boxer’s friends, has appeared in a court in Nigeria.

Adeniyi Kayode, 46, was previously charged with four crimes, including death by dangerous driving.

Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength coach, Sina Ghami, died on 29 December after their vehicle collided with a stationary lorry near Lagos. Joshua was treated in hospital for his injuries.

Kayode arrived at Sagamu Magistrates Court in Ogun state on Tuesday, but the case was adjourned until the 25 February after the prosecutor was granted more time to gain legal advice.

Kayode faced the court wearing a black hoodie, black shoes and a pair of black trousers. He did not speak during the hearing.

He was previously released from custody after being granted bail of 5m naira ($3,500; £2,600).

Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, was discharged from hospital two days after the Lexus SUV crashed on the busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway, in south-west Nigeria.

Ghami and Ayodele were both pronounced dead at the scene, while 36-year-old Joshua was pictured being helped from the wreckage.

Following the crash, the boxer posted a tribute to Ghami and Ayodele on Instagram, writing: “I didn’t even realise how special they are.

“I’ll just be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not even knowing God kept me in the presence of great men.

“100% it’s tough for me, but I know it’s even tougher for their parents.”

Joshua, who was born in Watford, has family roots in Sagamu – a town in Ogun state, near the crash site.

He was on his way to visit relatives for New Year celebrations in the town at the time of the crash, a family member told the BBC.

Kayode has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care, and driving without a valid driver’s licence.
