Tiger Woods Congratulates Young Golfers on Instagram

Tiger Woods took to Instagram to acknowledge the accomplishments of three amateur golfers following a rainy week at Merion Golf Club. Among them, Jack Whaley celebrated winning the Havemeyer Trophy, while Noah Maclauchlan triumphed in the U.S. Junior Amateur final against Miles Russell.

Woods congratulated Maclauchlan for his victory, which marked a significant moment as it ended Russell's run, who is set to join Charlie Woods at Florida State in 2027. Maclauchlan's win was notable as it was the first all-left-handed final in USGA history.

Additionally, Woods mentioned Jay Leng Jr., who defeated Russell in the semifinals of the Western Amateur. Whaley's victory at Merion made him the first Englishman to win the U.S. Amateur since 2013. Woods concluded his post by linking the Tiger Woods Medal and Trophy to the young golfers, while Charlie Woods was not directly mentioned.
