<\/p>\nCharlie Woods may be searching for his first win of the season, but that has not stopped his stock from rising off the course.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old has climbed to No. 1 in the Golf NIL rankings with a valuation of $3 million, the highest ever recorded since the system was introduced in 2024.<\/p>\n
Despite his recent struggles in competition, Woods’ growing profile and popularity continue to make him one of the most valuable names in amateur golf.<\/p>\n

Having recently opened an Instagram account, the 17-year-old already has 163K followers.<\/p>\n The youngster does know how to drive viewership. Florida State’s regular-season schedule is followed closely each week, and much of the credit goes to Woods.<\/p>\n For NIL representation, Woods has reportedly partnered with Players Group Management alongside Miles Russell, the world’s top-ranked junior, who is fifth in the Golf NIL rankings.<\/p>\n However, on the other hand, Woods has struggled on the course.<\/p>\n Woods\u2019 performances as of late<\/p>\n Woods has played just seven events this season and has not yet secured a win.<\/p>\n With a score of 288, Woods’ best finish came at the Junior Orange Bowl International Championship in January.
