Charlie Woods just pulled off something incredible – his first hole-in-one at the PNC Championship, and his dad Tiger couldn’t have been prouder.
The 15-year-old nailed it on the par-3 fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, sinking a perfect 7-iron shot from 175 yards out during Sunday’s final round.
“It was a perfect 7-iron, so I just kind of hit it… little cut 7,” Charlie said right after the shot. “I didn’t think it went in. I don’t believe anybody until I go up there and see it.”
This wasn’t just any ace – it came during Charlie’s fifth appearance at the PNC Championship, where he teams up with his famous father in the parent-child tournament.
The shot put Team Woods in the lead at 17 under, just ahead of Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, who were playing alongside them in Orlando.
Tiger, who got his first PGA Tour hole-in-one back in 1996 at the Greater Milwaukee Open, couldn’t stop grinning. He quickly reminded his son about golf tradition – when you get a hole-in-one, you’re buying drinks for everyone.
“He’s buying,” Tiger said with a laugh. Presumably just sodas, given Charlie’s age.
Charlie’s response? “I’m broke.”
NBC’s on-course reporter Bones Mackay summed it up perfectly: he’d never seen Tiger Woods happier on a golf course.
For golf fans watching, it was a special moment – seeing the younger Woods create his own piece of golf history while his legendary father looked on with pure joy.
