The 2020 PNC Championship was a real treat for golf fans, and not just because of the incredible talent on display. Charlie Woods, Woods’s then 11-year-old son, made his television debut and absolutely stole the show with his impressive golf skills and even more impressive trash talk. Who wouldn’t love a kid who leaves a note for Justin Thomas saying “Draw hole!”? It’s clear Charlie’s got his dad’s competitive spirit and sense of humor and the fans are here for it. They sure made a fantastic team and the banter that came with it was hilarious.

Justin Thomas even joked about trying to “shut Charlie’s little mouth up” – but let’s be real, Charlie’s trash talk is just too good. The whole event was a wonderful reminder that golf is a game that can bring people together, and create unforgettable moments like these. And let’s not forget, Charlie was just 11 years old at the time, making his performance all the more impressive. He’s definitely one to watch in the golf world, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented young golfer.

As he exclaimed, “Awesome shot!” it was clear that this was a moment he would cherish forever.
