Tiger Woods' Son Charlie Stuns Golf World With Hole-In-One Shot, Father's Celebration Is Viral
Golf superstar Tiger Woods was thrilled by son Charlie's first hole-in-one, but Team Langer got the better of the Woods duo in a playoff for the PNC Championship family golf event crown on Sunday. The ace by 15-year-old Charlie Woods at the 176-yard, par-three fourth hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando briefly lifted the duo into the solo lead in the 36-hole two-player scramble event. The youngster watched his seven-iron shot as far as he could, but it took the cheers from the crowd to let him know it had landed some six feet from the pin and rolled into the cup.
A beaming Tiger Woods gave his son a hard hug, then a playful shove in celebration.
"It was a perfect seven-iron, so just kind of hit it," Charlie Woods told Golf Channel as he walked toward the fourth green. "It was awesome! I didn't think it went in."
The elder Woods called it "an unbelievable moment".

"That two-hole stretch, that was his first eagle he ever made out there on three, and then his first hole-in-one," the 15-time major champion said.
After grabbing a share of the overnight lead with a first-round 59, the Woods duo combined for a 57 on Sunday and a record-setting 36-hole score of 28-under.
But two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, who were in the three-way tie for the lead to start the day, posted the same score.
At the first playoff hole, Bernhard Langer curled in an eagle putt to seal the duo's second straight victory in the 20-team event.
Langer has now won six PNC titles -- four with Jason and two with son Stefan.
Despite the tournament's laid-back atmosphere, there were plenty of fireworks on Sunday.
