Charlie Woods, the 17-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods, has been revealed as the highest-valued name in collegiate golf NIL history.
According to The Caddie Network, the son of the 15-time major champion has an estimated valuation of $3 million, as per their latest Collegiate Golf NIL market values.
The astonishing figure stands as the highest Golf NIL valuation since the rankings were introduced in 2024.
What makes the numbers even more impressive is that Charlie has had a run of extremely modest results on the golf course throughout 2026.
The 17-year-old has participated in seven ranked events this season, where his best finish was 19th place at the Junior Orange Bowl International back in January.
Aside from that event, Charlie is yet to secure another top-25 finish this season.

While Charlie sits in top spot on the list, he is closely followed by Kai Trump
Most recently, he finished second-last in the field at the AJGA Simplify Boys Championship, after falling a staggering 31 shots behind champion Grayson Baucom.
However, despite struggling to find consistent tournament results this season, the Florida State University commit’s star power and 164,000 social media followers have cemented his unmatched commercial appeal, according to the report.
While Charlie sits in top spot on the list, he is closely followed by Kai Trump.
The granddaughter of the President, who boasts three million followers on Instagram, ranks second on the list with an estimated NIL valuation of $2.25 million.
Kai is the daughter of Vanessa Trump, who is dating Charlie’s father, meaning the combined families dominate the rankings.
Meanwhile, in third place sits Charlie’s future Florida State teammate Miles Russell.
According to The Caddie Network, Russell holds an estimated valuation of $1 million – despite sitting No. 1 in the AJGA rankings and No. 5 in World Amateur Golf rankings.
Russell clinched the Junior Invitational in 2026 while also finishing as the runner-up at both the Jones Cup Invitational and the AJGA Simplify Boys Championship.

However, as Russell has found out, performances on the course are not the only thing that will determine NIL value.
Charlie, for example, has been tipped for NIL opportunities for years, with his former high school coach Toby Harbeck speaking on the matter back in 2024.
Harbeck told the Palm Beach Post at the time, ‘I’m sure someone’s going to approach him with NIL.
‘They’re so smart and they’ve got such good people around them that I think the only thing we need to be careful of is making sure we’re all aware of what’s going on.’
Charlie is reportedly represented by Players Group Management for NIL opportunities.
