Legendary golfer Tiger Woods and his son Charlie have teamed up for the PNC Family Championship tournament, which is being played in Orlando, Florida. While all the focus was on the 15-time major champion, it was his 11-year-old son Charlie who stole the show with an impressive eagle for Team Woods. Charlie, the youngest player competing in this year’s exhibition tournament with 20 teams, shocked many with his controlled movements at such a young age. Charlie’s clichés and manners have created a buzz on social media, with many fans and celebrities taking to Twitter to express their excitement. NBA legend LeBron James was one of those who couldn’t keep their excitement in them and wrote, “It’s so much !!!!!!!!! Love to see it”.

A day that they will not soon forget.

Charlie put his drive down the fairway at the third par-five hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, then hooked a five-wood approach around a few trees.
The ball bounced off the green and settled three feet from the pin, Charlie punching his old man’s like before rolling into the putt.
A beaming Woods hugged his son, noting as they left the green, “First eagle!”
Not just fans on social media, Charlie even amazed his legendary dad with some of his “amazing shots”.
“It was some of the most amazing golf shots,” Woods said with a laugh.
“He had the best time to be out there in that environment. I’ve always seen that. A lot of the punches he hit, I’ve seen all year,” he added.
He was having fun indeed and here is the proof:

The Woods duo got off to a good start, with six birdies and an eagle on the top nine. They combined for a 10-under-62 that left them sharing the sixth, four strokes behind Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron.
Tiger Woods was not concerned with his current position in the championship and has emphasized from the start of the tournament that his main goal is to ensure that his son “has the time of his life”.

“I really don’t care about my game. I just make sure Charlie has the time of his life and he does it. I make sure he’s able to enjoy it all,” Woods said.
