Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that Charlie Woods will be the youngest player to ever make his PGA Tour debut if he qualifies for the Cognizant Classic at age 15. However, this statement is false as there have been younger players who made their PGA Tour debut before him.
Should the younger Woods make it to the Cognizant Classic formerly known as the Honda Classic he will make his PGA Tour debut at 15 years, 21 days old, beating out his dad whose first start came at 16 years, 1 month and 28 days old at the Nissan Los Angeles Open at Riviera Country Club.
If Charlie Woods (left) qualifies for the PGA event at age 15, he'd beat his father, who made his PGA Tour debut at 16.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Charlie Woods will attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic next week in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that Charlie has a chance of qualifying when he hasn't even played any professional golf tournaments yet. Secondly, the article mentions Tiger Woods as being scheduled to tee off at 7:39 a.m. ET on Thursday alongside Olin Browne Jr.'s son and Ruaidhri Mcgee, but it doesn't mention that Charlie is also in the field for this event. This creates an impression that Charlie is not part of the competition when he actually is.
