Tiger Woods isn’t the only member of his family capable of producing unforgettable moments on the golf course. His 15-year-old son, Charlie Woods, delivered a career milestone with his first-ever hole-in-one during the PNC Championship, sending fans and even his legendary father into a frenzy.
Using a 7-iron from 175 yards on the par-3 fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Charlie struck the shot that ignited wild cheers from the crowd. At first, he didn’t even realize his ball had landed in the hole until he saw fans holding up their index fingers and television cameras confirming the ace.
Tiger Woods, who was visibly more thrilled than if he had made the shot himself, rushed to embrace his son before playfully shoving him with a proud smile. “First one,” Charlie casually noted to the cameras, making the moment even more memorable.
The ace gave Team Woods a brief share of the lead in the tournament, which pairs major champions with family members in a two-day event. This marked the fifth consecutive year Tiger and Charlie competed together, and the younger Woods continues to show that his talent is more than just a reflection of his father’s legacy.
For Tiger, a man with 20 career hole-in-ones, witnessing Charlie’s achievement was a testament to the incredible bond they share through golf. The moment encapsulates the essence of the PNC Championship-a tournament where professional excellence meets family connection.
As the Woods duo continues to captivate audiences, Charlie’s burgeoning talent suggests a promising future in golf, potentially following in the illustrious footsteps of his father.
