The PNC Championship allows a quick glimpse at what could be the next generation of golf’s biggest stars. That’s because they’ve come from current and past generations of golf’s biggest stars.
The event allows pros to tee up with their children, adding a special wrinkle to the off-season event. No one generates more excitement — or more eyeballs — than one of the greatest golfers in history. Tiger Woods is playing this week, alongside 15-year-old son Charlie.
On Sunday, Charlie showcased the mechanics and awareness that made his dad a 15-time major winner. His hole-in-one on the par three fourth helped Team Woods tie Team Singh and Team Langer atop the leaderboard at -18.

Surprise washed over the younger Woods’s face as he learned what he assumed was merely a good shot was, in fact, the best shot he could have made. Tiger made no effort to hide his joy, pulling his teenager in for a chest-thumping hug to celebrate the first ace of his golf career. Then, with a loud “yeah!” he excitedly shoved his son away in a bit of impromptu Elaine Benes cosplay.
