The golf world witnessed a magical moment this weekend as 15-year-old Charlie Woods, son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, sank his first-ever hole-in-one during the final round of the 2024 PNC Championship in Florida. The incredible shot came on a par-3 hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, where the young prodigy confidently swung his 7-iron, sending the ball sailing before it landed six feet left of the pin and rolled perfectly into the cup.
Cameras captured the priceless moment when realization dawned on Charlie’s face – first a look of shock, then pure joy as he turned to share the celebration with his beaming father. Dressed in matching black pants and signature Tiger-red shirts, the pair embraced as the crowd erupted in cheers. “That’s one of the highlights we’ve ever had,” Tiger later told reporters, clearly moved by his son’s achievement.
The father-son duo finished second in the tournament for the second consecutive year, continuing their impressive performances at the event where professionals team up with family members. Tiger, while acknowledging his own physical limitations, emphasized how special it was to share the course with Charlie. “I’m delighted for him and the fun our family spent together,” he said, recalling how Charlie had also made his first eagle during a previous PNC Championship.
When asked about the pressure of being Tiger Woods’ son, the golf legend offered simple advice: “Charlie is Charlie…I just want him to be himself.” The proud father acknowledged the unique challenges his son faces growing up in the social media era but expressed confidence in Charlie’s ability to carve his own path in golf and in life.
