Florida State has plenty of golf history, and its notable alums include one of the best golfers of the 21st century.
Charlie Woods announced Tuesday his commitment to Florida State, joining No. 1 recruit Miles Russell in the Seminoles’ Class of 2027. The son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods chose Florida State over numerous other offers and will remain in state, where he has been a part of two state championship teams at Benjamin School.

Clanton joined Pak with eight victories for the Seminoles and took home the 2025 Ben Hogan Award. Clanton earned his PGA Tour card thanks to how well he played as an amateur and as a member of the Seminoles, and he has the second-lowest scoring average in school history.
