Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods, achieved a major milestone by hitting his first career hole-in-one during the final round of the PNC Championship.
The teenager holed out at the par-three fourth, briefly propelling the father-son duo into the lead in the tournament, which pairs 20 major champions with a family member.
Speaking about the unforgettable moment, Charlie said, “It was awesome. No one made a mistake today, so that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. On top of that, I made an ace. I don’t think I can top that.”
Despite the strong performance, Team Langer, featuring Bernhard and Jason Langer, claimed victory with their second consecutive title—and fourth overall—after Bernhard eagled the first play-off hole in Orlando, Florida.
Tiger Woods, competing for the first time since the Open in July following back surgery in September, expressed pride in his son and the shared experience. “And that’s the whole joy of it, is to be out here with family and bonding and just the enjoyment of each other’s company,” said the 15-time major champion, who admitted he’s “nowhere near competitive shape.”
The day also saw another remarkable moment when 21-year-old Paddy Harrington, son of three-time major champion Padraig Harrington, hit his first career hole-in-one on the eighth hole.
Reflecting on his son’s achievement, Padraig Harrington shared, “I’ve never hit a shot and been that excited before.”
