Golf legend Tiger Woods shared a heartwarming moment with his son Charlie Woods after the teenager made the shot of his life.

During Sunday’s final round of the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida, 15-year-old Charlie achieved a milestone by hitting his first hole-in-one.

The impressive shot helped propel the father-son duo to a runner-up finish at the tournament, which featured 20 major champions competing alongside a family member, according to Associated Press.

“It was great to have dad there,” Charlie said of sharing the moment with his father, according to the AP. “It was so much fun. It was just a perfect 7-iron, little cut in there. Obviously never saw it go in. So it’s a shame. But it’s okay.”

Woods called it the “thrill of a lifetime” to watch Charlie hit a hole-in-one while his oldest child, daughter Sam Woods, served as their caddy for the tournament.

“It was the thrill of a lifetime to be able to have that moment with Charlie, making his first hole-in-one, (daughter) Sam on the bag, just our family and friends,” Woods said. “That’s what this event is all about. It’s about bonding and family.

He added: “I know we didn’t win, but it was the fact that we competed. Nobody really made a mistake out there. We had to earn it, and that’s what you want.”

Woods is often seen cheering on Charlie as he embarks on his own golf career.

On Nov. 4, Woods was seen watching as Charlie competed in a high school golf tournament at Miami Shores Country Club, according to The Palm Beach Post.

He also celebrated with Charlie earlier this year when the teenager and his high school teammates received their championship rings after winning the 2023 state championship in Florida.

Woods has previously said that as a father, he aims to both guide and protect his children as they grow into their own.

“As a parent, you will always be their protector and guide and teach them skills that they will need in life when you are not around,” Woods told Golf Digest in 2022. “And that is the most important thing about being a parent.”
