"Several of FSU coach Trey Jones' former players have gone on to join the PGA tour. By opting to join the FSU Seminoles, Charlie decided not to follow in the footsteps of his famous father, a 15-time major champion who played two years at Stanford before going pro in 1996. Charlie's sister, Sam, is currently a freshman at Stanford, though she's focused on academics instead of sports."
