For Charlie Woods, it was the first ace of his life. And at the PNC Championship, where all eyes have been on the teenager for several years. Except, in this case, those of his father Tiger Woods. He was busy with his bag when Charlie hit the ball into the hole from the tee on the par-3 4th.
Hole-in-one for Charlie Woods
It was a picture-book Sunday at the Ritz-Carlton GC in Florida. Team Langer and Team Woods met in the final flight and played a cat-and-mouse game over 18 holes to make it into the play-off. Early in the day, 15-year-old Charlie Woods provided a highlight when he holed out for an ace on the first par-3 of the course. Pictures between surprise and joy:

Although it was the first hole-in-one in ten years (and the second ever) at the PNC Championship, it wasn’t to stop there. Paddy Harington, son of Padraig Harrington, also played an ace. Just a few moments after Charlie’s hole-in-one on the 4th, he put the ball in the hole on the 8th.

Charlie and Paddy were not the only players to attract attention. Carson Kuchar, the son of Matt Kuchar, also wowed the crowd. He put the ball into the hole on the par-4 16th with his second shot: hole-out eagle for Team Kuchar.

And last but not least, we look at Gary Player, who at 89 was the oldest player in the field at the 2024 PNC Championship. In round 1, he played “only” even par with his grandson Alexander Hall. On Sunday, they improved by a total of ten strokes. The highlight: Gary Player holed his final putt on the 18th for eagle.
