There are amazing videos of Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, playing golf with his father at the 2024 PNC Championship. Among those are Woods’ former coach, Hank Haney. He recently wondered if Charlie would do what his father did and play PGA Tour in the future.
Haney, who coached the former World No. 1 from 2004 to 2010, was asked by a fan if Charlie Woods could earn a PGA Tour card one day. Responding to him, Haney said:
“Not many do earn PGA Tour cards, but Charlie has a better chance than most who have that dream.”
Under Haney, Tiger won 31 PGA Tour events and six Majors. The 69-year-old is credited for refining Woods’ swing.
Tiger Woods and Charlie finished as runner-ups at the PNC Championship. However, they were in contention from the very first hole of the tournament. The father-son duo lost with a birdie on the first extra playoff hole to Bernhard and Jason Langer.
Talking about his son, the former World No. 1 said after the tournament, via ASAP Sports:
“He’s gotten better at every facet of the game. That’s a commitment to practicing and developing as a player. I think that most of us forget he’s only 15 years old. I know he’s been doing this in front of the media for a long time. But being only 15, I think it’s incredible what he’s been able to accomplish so far, and the ceiling that he has is unlimited.”
Charlie Woods is currently enrolled at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, and is a core member of the high school golf team.
Tiger Woods on Charlie’s hole-in-one: “That was the thrill of a lifetime”
Tiger Woods’s son Charlie scored his first professional hole-in-one in his career at the 2024 PNC Championship. The tournament was held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club on Saturday, December 21 and Sunday, December 22.
The father-son pair had a great start in the first round and had a 13-under 59 with 13 birdies. Then in the second round on the par-3 fourth hole, Charlie got his first ever hole in one. Talking about it, Tiger said, via ASAP Sports:
It was a dream come true to be able to capture that moment with Charlie, to make his first hole-in-one, have Sam on the bag, and just have the family and friends there. That is the kind of event this is all about. It is about togetherness and family.
And for us to have that experience together, I know we didn’t win, but it was the fact that we competed. This time I can’t point fingers at anyone and say that he made a blunder out there. We had to earn it and that’s what you want to have. Hats off to Langers. They were good, very good indeed,” he said.
Pere and fils both played in the tournament for the fifth time after the first time in 2020. Let’s take a look at their performance at the PNC Championship:
