15-year-old Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, just achieved a milestone that most golfers only dream of – making a hole-in-one. The stunning ace occurred during the final round of the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida, a tournament that pairs pro golfers with family members.
A Shot for the Ages
On the par-3 fourth hole, Charlie launched a beautiful 7-iron shot from 175 yards out. The ball sailed through the air, landed on the green, and rolled straight into the cup for a hole-in-one. The crowd erupted in wild cheers as Charlie high-fived his dad.
First one.

Incredibly, Charlie didn’t even realize at first that his ball had dropped in the hole. It took the raucous celebration from the fans around the green for it to sink in that he had just scored an ace, the first of his young career.
Chip Off the Old Block
Charlie clearly takes after his father when it comes to golf talent. Tiger Woods is widely considered one of the greatest golfers of all time, with 15 major championship wins. Now his son is starting to make a name for himself at just 15 years old.
Tiger couldn’t contain his excitement after Charlie’s amazing shot. He wrapped his son in a huge hug and playfully shoved him in celebration. The hole-in-one clearly meant as much to Tiger as any of his own golfing achievements.
A Temporary Taste of the Lead
The ace gave Tiger and Charlie a share of the lead in the father-son tournament, at least momentarily. This is the fifth straight year the duo has competed together in the event. While they didn’t end up winning, that hole-in-one will provide a memory to last a lifetime.
As Charlie continues to develop his prodigious golf skills, expect to see more magical moments like this one. The teenage Woods clearly has inherited his father’s talent and competitive drive.
The Future of the Woods Golf Legacy
With Tiger Woods already establishing himself as a golf icon, Charlie Woods now looks poised to carry on that incredible legacy well into the future. At such a young age, he is already showing the potential for greatness.
Golf fans should remember the name Charlie Woods. His hole-in-one at the PNC Championship could be just the first of many amazing accomplishments to come in what promises to be a bright career ahead. The Woods family golf dynasty appears set to continue for another generation.
