Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods, made an impressive hole-in-one during the final round of the 19th Junior PLAYERS Championship presented by Rolex at TPC Sawgrass—the famed home of THE PLAYERS Championship.
Woods aced the par-3 third hole on the Stadium Course with his tee shot, marking his 12th hole of the day after starting on the back nine. Before the ace, Charlie was even par for the round. He began the tournament with a 4-over 76 and followed up with a 3-over 75 in the second round.
The tournament features 78 of the top-ranked male junior golfers competing on the same historic course where Rory McIlroy recently claimed the PLAYERS title. Leading the pack is Miles Russell, ranked No. 1 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings, who shot a 3-under 69 in the second round to take a one-stroke lead heading into Sunday. Russell aims to become the first two-time champion of the event.
This isn’t Charlie Woods’ first hole-in-one in front of fans. He previously aced a hole during the 2024 PNC Championship, playing alongside his father at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Course in Orlando. Reflecting on that special moment, Tiger Woods said, “That was the thrill of a lifetime to be able to have that moment with Charlie, make his first hole-in-one, (daughter) Sam on the bag, just our family and friends. That’s what this event is about. It’s about bonding and family.”
