Yesterday will be a special moment for 15-year-old Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, as he hit his first career hole-in-one.
The PNC Championship is an annual golf tournament that pairs professional golfers with a family member. Held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, the event hosts golf legends alongside their loved ones.
This year, the spotlight was on Tiger Woods and his son who have competed in the event since 2020. Golf icon Bernhard Langer teamed up with his 24-year-old son, Jason, continuing a family tradition that has seen the Langers win the event twice, including back-to-back victories.
While the day ultimately ended with the Langers winning the event, Charlie’s ace on the par-3 fourth hole stole the spotlight.
Using a 7-iron, Charlie’s shot on the 175-yard par-3 fourth hole landed softly on the green and tracked perfectly into the cup. The crowd erupted, and Tiger immediately embraced his son, sharing a proud father-son moment.
Tiger then reminded Charlie of the golf tradition of buying a round of drinks after hitting a hole-in-one.
“I’m broke,” Charlie said.
Charlie described the event as the most fun he has ever had on the golf course.
“It’s not even close,” he said. “It was awesome having Dad there. That was so much fun. It was just a perfect 7-iron, little cut in there. Of course, I never got to see it go in. So that sucks. But that’s all right.”
Tiger, who has achieved nearly everything there is to accomplish in golf, called it a career highlight to witness his son’s milestone.
“That was the thrill of a lifetime to be able to have that moment with Charlie, make his first hole-in-one, [daughter] Sam on the bag, just our family and friends,” Tiger said. “That’s what this event is about. It’s about bonding and family.”
