Charlie Woods produced a special moment while playing alongside his father on Sunday.
Competing for the first time since missing The Open cut in July, Tiger is teaming with Charlie at the PNC Championship. They're fighting to win the father-son tournament in Orlando.
Charlie gave the duo a massive push on the fourth hole. The 15-year-old made his first career hole-in-one in tournament play.
After sinking the shot, Charlie looked around and cooly smiled at his achievement. Tiger, who briefly stepped away, hugged his son and playfully pushed him in jubilation.

Viewers responded to Charlie's hole-in-one on social media.
"Come on! Amazing," Sportsnet's Adam Stanley wrote.
"Must feel amazing to hit an ace with pops watching," a fan said.
"Sometimes I feel like there's too much Charlie Woods coverage on social media, but this is not one of those moments," a fan wrote. "Incredible. And the sheer joy from Tiger. Really cool moment."
"What a special moment," a fan said. "Golf is such a beautiful sport!"
"Golf is in good hands," meteorologist Cameron Hardin declared.
Charlie's ace momentarily put them ahead of Team Singh for sole possession of the first place. As of this writing, Team Woods is tied with Team Langer atop the leaderboard at 19-under.
Tiger was overjoyed for Charlie, but the hole-in-one may foreshadow a bittersweet moment for the 15-time major champion.
"He beat me for nine holes," Tiger said of Charlie on Friday. "He has yet to beat me for 18 holes. That day is coming. I'm just prolonging it as long as I possibly can."
Tiger hasn't golfed in a tournament since undergoing his sixth back surgery in September. However, he wanted to team with Charlie regardless of his performance level.
"I just want to be able to have the experience again," he said. "This has always been one of the bigger highlights of the year for us as a family, and now we get to have that moment together again."
Charlie will look to cap off an unforgettable day by leading him and Tiger to victory.
