Tiger Woods' son, Charlie, achieved a significant milestone by scoring his first hole-in-one at the PNC Championship. The 15-year-old accomplished this during the event's final round on Sunday. His impressive shot at the par-three fourth hole propelled the father-son duo into the lead. Initially unaware of his success, Charlie realised it only when enthusiastic cheers erupted from spectators around the green.

The tournament showcases 20 major champions playing alongside family members. This event marked Tiger Woods' return to competition following back surgery in September. Reflecting on his achievement, Charlie told the Golf Channel, "It was a perfect seven-iron, so I just kind of hit it. It was awesome. I didn't think it went in. I don't believe anybody until I go up there and see it."

Earlier in the tournament, Woods and Charlie had finished the first day tied for first place with two other teams after an impressive opening round score of 59, which was 13 under par. Their performance kept them as strong contenders throughout the event.

Approximately half an hour after Charlie's remarkable shot, Paddy Harrington also made a hole-in-one on the eighth hole. Paddy is the son of Padraig Harrington, a three-time major champion. Padraig expressed his excitement by saying, "I've never hit a shot and been that excited before."

Tiger and Charlie have consistently been prominent figures in this tournament but have yet to claim victory. In 2021, they secured second place behind John Daly and his son, John Daly II.

This year's PNC Championship has been particularly memorable for both participants and spectators due to these exciting moments. The event continues to be a platform where legendary golfers can share their passion with their families while creating unforgettable experiences.
