“It’s definitely cool knowing that I’m right there with them. It kind of gives me a little bit of confidence knowing that I can compete here, and yeah, it’s also you have to respect your competition and how much it takes to win something like this.”

“I think it’s incredible” - When Tiger Woods expressed pride in his son Charlie Woods’ PNC Championship performance
Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods are regular competitors at the PNC Championship, a tournament that features Major Champions playing alongside their family members. The 2024 PNC Championship was one for the books as Tiger Woods and his son came in second place after a tense playoff against Team Bernhard and Jason Langer.
In the final round of the tournament, Charlie made an iconic hole-in-one, and as expected, Tiger Woods was beaming in adoration. Woods said via Sky Sports,
“He [Charlie) has 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.”
When asked to express his feelings about making his first ace, Charlie said he was happy to have accomplished the feat in the presence of his father Tiger Woods.
