Golf’s most famous father-son duo created another unforgettable memory at the 2024 PNC Championship when 15-year-old Charlie Woods carded his first career hole-in-one under the watchful eye of his legendary dad, Tiger. The stunning shot came during Sunday’s final round on a 152-yard par-3, where Charlie’s perfect 7-iron approach found the bottom of the cup, sending the gallery into a frenzy.
The teenager’s reaction told the whole story – first a moment of stunned disbelief, then an explosion of joy as he turned to share the milestone with his 15-time major champion father. “It was awesome,” Charlie said afterward. “Some of the most fun I’ve ever had…I doubt I can surpass it.” Tiger, clearly moved by the moment, called it one of their greatest shared highlights on a golf course.
Despite finishing runner-up to Team Langer in the scramble-format event, the Woods pair demonstrated their incredible chemistry, with Tiger praising Charlie’s development as a player. The golf great also opened up about the unique experience of now being challenged by his son’s game, admitting Charlie had recently beaten him over nine holes. “You haven’t defeated me in 18 holes yet,” Tiger joked. “I’m just trying to make it last as long as I can.”
As Charlie continues to develop his game under the weight of enormous expectations, Tiger emphasized allowing his son to forge his own identity. “I will always support him in making his own identity,” the proud father said, acknowledging both the privileges and pressures that come with the Woods name in golf.
