Tiger Woods falls agonizingly short of dream win on return to golf with son Charlie

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie, 15, lost a playoff to Bernhard Langer and his son Jason at the PNC Championship on Sunday.

Bernhard, 67, sank the winning putt to beat Tiger and Charlie in Florida, but the duo the crowd desperately wanted to emerge victorious still had plenty to be positive about.

“It was great, no one made a mistake today. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had,” Charlie said.

Woods underwent a sixth back surgery in September and during his speech Friday he was keen to downplay any hope anyone had that he and Charlie could be the winners on Sunday night. But for so long on Sunday it seemed like it was written in the stars.

Earlier in the day, Charlie hit his first-ever hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole, sparking wild celebrations.

The pair were already well amongst the tournament leaders when the teenager stepped forward to take his tee shot.

Incredibly, it landed a few meters short of the hole and then bounced straight through the cup – much to the surprise of Charlie himself.

Back on the fourth tee he looked around in shock and asked if the ball had gone in. When told this was the case, father Tiger was the first on the scene to congratulate him.

The famous pair then had a bear hug on the tee, with Tiger looking delighted at his son’s performance.

“That was one of the highlights we’ve ever had,” Tiger said. ‘That’s why he made his first eagle.

‘It was a dream stretch of two holes. Like Charlie said, no one made a mistake today.”

As for his overall health while playing golf, Woods tried to cool down the excitement about how promising he looked.

“I’m nowhere near competitive form, I’m a great fighting partner,” Woods said.

Shortly after giving his dad a hug and celebrating his success, superstar dad Tiger dampened Charlie’s mood with a joke – and a hilarious clip of the moment quickly went viral.

Just off the fourth green, as Charlie pulled his ball out of the hole, Tiger can be heard saying to him, “You’re buying for everyone here.”

In response, Charlie hits back: “I’m not buying, I’m broke…” before Tiger adds: “You buy. He has to buy. That’s the protocol for making a hole-in-one.’

Charlie defiantly repeats, “I’m broke,” before Tiger twists the knife with, “Round on you, buddy.”

Tiger also had his daughter Sam as his caddy on Sunday. And despite coming in second, it’s going to be a great night in the clubhouse for the Woods family, as long as Charlie gets the drinks down.
