More Records: Charlie Woods Delivers Incredible Ace at Iconic TPC Sawgrass, Where Tiger Woods Twice Ruled
Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of golf star Tiger Woods, fired a hole-in-one at the par-three third hole at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday in the Junior Players Championship.
Woods made his ace at the 177-yard hole in the final round at the Stadium Course, where his famed father won the PGA Tour Players Championship in 2001 and 2013.
Woods, playing the American Junior Golf Association event for the first time, paused after watching the ball, unsure it had gone in the hole until seeing greenside spectators celebrate.
“Oh my God. I got it,” Woods said. “Wow.”
Woods also made a hole-in-one at last year’s PNC Championship, playing alongside his father in the parent-child event’s final round at the Ritz-Carlton club in Orlando.
On Sunday, the ace by Woods was part of a final round level-par 72 that left him on seven-over par and sharing 31st place, 16 strokes behind winner Miles Russell.

Dewan de Bruin produced a moment of pure class to claim the Proudfoot Trophy in the South African Amateur Championship when he holed a superb 35-foot left-to-right downhill putt for eagle on the first play-off hole at Pretoria Country Club on Monday.
The 18-year-old’s closing four-under-par 68 in the 36-hole stroke play qualifier saw him finish six-under alongside first-round leader and home favourite Marais Vorster, before he sealed victory on the 18th hole in extra time to secure the No 1 seed for the match play stage, which gets underway on Tuesday.
Vorster, who signed for a 70, recovered well after from a double bogey on the third with birdies on holes two, four, nine and 17 to set the clubhouse target.
De Bruin only dropped one shot in his second round, on the par-five 12th, and racked in three birdies before he eagled the 18th in regulation play to force the play-off.
“The big thing for me was definitely just sticking to my routine and trusting the process,” said De Bruin. “Off the tee, I was very strong, and then it was just playing my own game and forgetting about everyone else.”
