Charlie Woods Cards Second Hole-in-one Since December

As Tiger Woods ages, he is leaving behind a massive legacy.  After dominating the sport in the 2000s, he left some big shoes to fill.  A legacy so great that other pro golfers are reluctant to fill his position.  Golfers like Scottie Scheffler, who calls the idea a “bit silly”.  However, this past weekend, during the TPC Sawgrass, Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie Woods, managed to score his second hole-in-one in the past nine months.  

A Hole In One Is Incredibly Rare

A hole-in-one is something that every player strives to do at least once in their career.  It’s rare enough that it actually has its own special name, keeping up with the bird theme that scorecards use.  A condor is the alternative name to express the rarity.  Tiger Woods has twenty spread across his career, most of which weren’t on the PGA Tour, but Scottie Scheffler only has two that he has ever recorded.  Same with Rory McIlroy.  The two top players in the sport have only two holes-in-one.  Yet Charlie Woods already has two, and he’s just starting his career as a golfer; he still has to raise his hand to ask to go to the bathroom.

Charlie Woods Hole In One

Charlie Woods may only be 16, but he is showing himself to be a bit of a golf prodigy just like his father.  His last hole-in-one was last December, during the PNC Championship.  Despite the impressive feat, Team Woods didn’t take home the win.  When it happened, Woods excitedly embraced his father, and Tiger Woods looked to be just as excited for his son.  This weekend, Woods managed to card one again at the Junior Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.  The same course that his father won twice for the Players Championship.  When he landed the shot this time, there was a moment when everyone questioned if it actually happened. Once the confusion cleared, a visible celebration ensued.

Charlie Woods And The Family Legacy

As stated before, Tiger Woods is leaving behind a legacy that most pros can only dream about.  Woods was in the OWGR No. 1 position for a total of ten years.  A record that hasn’t even begun to be threatened until Scottie Scheffler took up the mantle in 2023.  He was the face of golf; he was golf at the height of his career, and the other pros have a deep respect for him for his work.  This is what Charlie Woods has to look forward to as he advances through the sport. If he is even half as good as his father, Woods will leave his own legacy.

Charlie Woods Going Forward

Charlie Woods may be young, but he is already showing the potential that his dad had.  It’s going to be a few years before he can join the PGA Tour, but when he does, it won’t be too hard to imagine that he will dominate the playing field.  He is even trying out for this year’s Ryder Cup in New York.  Hopefully, he gets in and can show what he can do in an environment like that.
