“I’m broke”: Charlie Woods’ hilarious response to dad Tiger’s ‘golf protocol’ wisdom

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie shared a heartwarming and humorous moment at the ongoing 2024 PNC Championship following the 15-year-old's first career ace. The father-son duo added another memorable moment in their history at the tournament as they seek to win the championship this year.

During the second round, Charlie carded in his first hole-in-one on the Ritz Carlton Golf Club's par three fourth hole. Faced with a 176 yard long shot, the teenager accomplished the feat with a seven iron in his hands.

As the crowd erupted and celebrations continued, his father took the moment to teach the young amateur an unspoken "protocol" in the game. According to tradition over the decades, it's customary for the player who carded in an ace to buy a round of drinks for everyone present.

When Tiger turned to Charlie and said, "You're buying, " the Benjamin School golfer had a hilarious response lined up. He said (via X @PGATOUR):

"I'm not buying. I'm broke."

His sister, Sam, who is Woods' caddy for the week, was curious about the 82-time PGA Tour winner's comment. The 2019 Masters winner replied (via X @PGATOUR):

"He has to buy. That's protocol for making a hole-in-one. Round on you, bud."

Here's a look at the interaction at the fourth hole of the Ritz Carlton Golf Club:

Charlie's response was fitting for a teenager. The interaction perfectly captured the camraderie and humor in the Woods' family.
