For the past nine years, the Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship has brought many of the best teenagers in the world to the Grand Strand.

Being juniors, they come largely in anonymity.

So none have been as famous as a commitment this year.

Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods, is registered to participate in the 10th annual 54-hole tournament from Feb. 28-March 2 at TPC Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet.

The tournament, being presented by LA Golf, will feature 60 of the top boys and 30 of the top girls ages 13-18 from around the globe.

Like his dad, Charlie has become a magnet for attention on the golf course.

With Tiger and Charlie participating, the PNC Championship set a new television one-day viewership record for the event during the first round on Dec. 21, averaging 2.92 million viewers, according to Sports Media Watch.

That was up 147 percent from last year鈥檚 first round.

The Woods duo lost to Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason, in a playoff, but all eyes were on Tiger and Charlie, who made a hole-in-one during the tournament.
