“Son is outdriving dad” – Fans react to Charlie Woods make his first ever eagle at PNC Championship
No other feeling is as good as making your dad proud. Legend Tiger Woods' son Charlie put a smile on his dad's face when he hit his first ever eagle in the PNC Championship. The PGA Tour's Twitter handle posted a throwback video of Charlie putting his first eagle.
Happy son, proud dad ❤️
@TigerWoods watched 11-year-old Charlie make his first ever eagle @PNCChampionship.

There were a few interesting reactions to this video.
One person shared a hilarious coincidence with Junior Woods.
@PGATOUR @TigerWoods @PNCchampionship Well, I have something in common with Charlie Woods: we both made our first eagle this year. Only difference is I’m 71 y.o. He beat me by 60 years. I’ll get him on the Albatross, though.🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Son is outdriving dad"
@PGATOUR @TigerWoods @PNCchampionship And, just two short years later, son is outdriving dad.
😳
One user believed that there should not be any pressure on Charlie.
@PGATOUR @TigerWoods @PNCchampionship Please let the kid develop and not apply the pressure, as you are doing, which may lead to someone not living up to YOUR expectations of what he should be. Thank you.
"I got you Dad"
Priceless!@PGATOUR @TigerWoods @PNCchampionship The best is when he picked up Tiger’s coin and probably said, I got you Dad. 😂 Priceless!
A user believed it was Charlie's first "recorded" eagle and not the first Eagle.
@PGATOUR @TigerWoods @PNCchampionship I am sure it's the first eagle on camera.
That is some bold prediction.

This person was just happy that Tiger was having some good time with his son:
@PGATOUR @TigerWoods @PNCchampionship Watching Tiger with his son makes me not care if he ever wins another tournament. He is the GOAT already and he needs to do nothing to prove it. Way to go, Charlie!

Tiger Woods' health update
Tiger Woods has still not recovered from plantar fasciitis. The ace golfer participated in Capital One's The Match alongside Rory McIlory. There was a noticeable limp in his walk. The former No. 1 had a terrible accident in 2021 and has since been on the road to recovery.
Despite not being fully fit, Tiger still does not want the favor of using a golf cart. He was still of the belief that he would only use the golf cart facility where the PGA Tour has either allowed it or it's an exhibition event.
"On the PGA Tour, no. On the sanctioned events where it’s allowed? Yes. Which is the Champions Tour, the PNC, things of that nature,” said Woods during the Hero World Challenge press conference.
