Tiger Woods’ son Charlie shocks world with first ever Hole in One at PNC Championship

Charlie Woods made an ace during the second round of the PNC Championship.

Tiger and Charlie Woods began the second round of the PNC Championship holding a share of the lead, which was quite the story in and of itself.

But that was quickly overshadowed by what happened on the par-3 4th hole on Sunday.

After helping his father make two birdies over the first three holes, Charlie stepped up to the tee box with a 7-iron in hand. The 15-year-old then flushed his tee shot, which went straight toward the flag.

“Really good contact,” said NBC Sports reporter Jim “Bones” MacKay on the broadcast.

“This is a great-looking shot if it’s the right number.”

Indeed it was. Charlie’s tee shot landed a couple of feet before the hole, took two bounces, and then dropped into the bottom of the cup.

At first, Charlie had no idea it had gone into the hole despite the massive roar from the gallery. But as soon as he realized what had just happened, Charlie grinned from ear to ear and stood there giving the ‘Jordan shrug.’ His father then celebrated by giving him an enormous bear hug, producing one of the most wholesome scenes of the year in golf.

Can you imagine making your first ever hole-in-one in competition at this event? On national television, no less?

Regardless, his ace is just another reason why the PNC Championship means so much to everyone who plays: it’s all about family and having fun; but nobody is enjoying themselves more than Team Woods on Sunday.
