Charlie Woods produced an incredible moment at the PNC Championship on Sunday, making a hole-in-one with his dad, Tiger, watching.

The 15-year-old is playing alongside his 15-time major-champion father in Orlando and they briefly led the tournament outright after his ace at the par-three fourth. Charlie was given a huge embrace by his elated father after the ball found the bottom of the cup.

It is Charlie’s first hole-in-one of his budding career. According to the Golf Channel commentary crew, Tiger was not watching at the time after stepping away for a comfort break, but he returned to the sound of the roar and wore a huge grin as he hugged his teenage son.

Charlie shouted for his ball to “cut” as it homed in on the flagstick at the 178-yard fourth, and it duly obliged, pitching around six feet short of the cup before going in the front door and sending the crowd wild.

Tiger and Charlie took a share of the lead into the final round at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club after an opening round of 59 in the scramble tournament on Saturday. Charlie’s hole-in-one put the Woods a shot clear of Vijay Singh and his son, Qass at 17-under-par for the tournament.

However, the Singhs quickly regained the lead with an eagle at the fifth to shoot to the top of the leaderboard, only for the Woods duo to reply with a birdie at the same hole moments later to tie things up again. Team Harrington and Team Langer are also tied for the lead at the annual family tournament.

The PNC is Tiger’s first appearance on the golf course in front of the cameras since July, missing the cut at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open Championship over the summer after finishing in 60th place at The Masters in April.

A series of injuries, surgeries and complications in recent years have dramatically inhibited his ability to compete on the golf course, and he was forced to skip his scheduled comeback at the Hero World Challenge in The Bahamas earlier this month with his body not in a state that would allow him to hang with the best players in the world.

But after all he has achieved on an individual level over the years, it is clear he takes as much joy from playing alongside his son as he makes his way in the game. “It is a dream moment, a dream moment. It looks like it means more to Tiger,” DP World Tour regular Oli Fisher said on Sky Sports’ coverage of the tournament.

It is the Woods’ fifth appearance at the PNC and Tiger made clear on Saturday how proud he is of Charlie being able to handle the attention and scrutiny that comes with being the son of the games most transcendent star.

“I think he’s doing a great job,” Woods said. “In this day and age where you have so many different – everyone is basically media, with all the phones. Being constantly filmed and constantly people watching, that’s just part of his generation, and that’s part of the world that he has to maneuver through.

“I try and do the best job I possibly can as a parent,” he added. “I’m always here for him. But at the end of the day, I just want him to just be himself and live his own life.”
