Charlotte Woad (born 17 January 2004) is an English professional golfer.[1] She won the 2022 Girls Amateur Championship and 2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur, and reached number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking in June 2024.[2]

She won the KPMG Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour in July 2025 while still an amateur.[3] Later in July, she won her first tournament as a professional – the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open.[4]

Amateur career

[edit]

In 2021, Woad won the Welsh Women's Open Stroke Play Championship.[5][6] In May 2022, she made her debut on the Ladies European Tour in the Madrid Open.[7] In August 2022, Woad won the Girls Amateur Championship.[8]

Woad enrolled at Florida State University in 2022 and started playing with the Florida State Seminoles women's golf team. She was WGCA Freshman of the Year, and as a junior FSU Female Athlete of the Year and ACC Golfer of the Year.[9]

In April 2024, Woad won the Augusta National Women's Amateur.[10][11] In May, she finished runner-up to Adéla Cernousek in the individual competition at the NCAA Division I women's golf championship.[12] In June 2024, she rose to number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.[2] In August 2024, she was named as the winner of the Mark H. McCormack Medal; this made her the first woman from England to win that medal.[13][14] In the same month she was also awarded the Smyth Salver at the Women's British Open.[15]

In July 2025, she won the KPMG Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour. She won by six strokes over Madelene Sagström. It was the first win by an amateur on the tour since 2022.[3] Woad tied for 3rd place at the 2025 Evian Championship, one-stroke behind the winner.[16] She would jump to 64th in the Rolex Rankings, which is the second-highest ranking for an amateur (after Lydia Ko) since the system debuted in 2006.[17]

Professional career

[edit]

Woad turned professional after the 2025 Evian Championship. Her finish earned her enough points in the LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway (LEAP) to secure an LPGA Tour card for 2025 and 2026. Her win at the Irish Open also earned her a Ladies European Tour card.[18][19]

In July 2025, Woad won her first professional title by three shots at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open – the first tournament Woad played after turning professional.[4] She then finished T8th at the 2025 Women's British Open.[20]

Personal life

[edit]

Woad was born in January 2004, the daughter of Rachel and Nick Woad.[9] She comes from Farnham in Surrey.[21].
