TIGER WOODS and his son Charlie bonded with the star golfer’s trademark fist bump after the 11-year-old sunk an amazing putt at the PNC Championship.
Charlie and his dad ultimately placed seventh at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club – even making an incredible EAGLE on one hole.
But they stole the show in their matching outfits – both wearing Woods’ iconic red Nike polos with black trousers.
David Duval, who played with his son Brayden, said he thought the putt was ‘spectacular’.
“You gotta love it, right?” Duval said, according to ESPN.
Woods said he was happy to spend quality time with his son and told outlets he was proud of Charlie and ‘how he handled everything’.
The golf legend said: “It was incredibly special for us to have the opportunity to spend the quality time we had.
“It’s memories we’ll have for our entire lives.”
Woods added that Charlie will certainly appreciate the memory more as he grows older.
He continued: “It was special for both of us.
“He’s not going to appreciate this at 11 years old… as the years go by, you start appreciating it more.
“I’m sure that we’ll have a lot of banter over the holidays and the years to come.”
Charlie and his dad – who share an eerily similar swing – shot a 10-under-par 62 to finish five strokes behind Justin Thomas and his father, Mike Thomas.
Thomas revealed Charlie had talked big game about how badly he wants to beat the former world No1 and PGA champion.
But despite the loss, golfers agreed Charlie demonstrated extreme skill this weekend – and he has even been praised as ‘a young Rory McIlroy.’
Duval said: “The best way you can describe it is he has great fundamentals.
“He is not afraid. And he hits the ball pretty darn far. Charlie maximizes it.
“He moves it out there pretty darn good for a little fella.
“And it’s only going to get better, if that’s what he wants.”
