Charlie Woods has been on a roll for the past year as he makes a lot of waves in the golf world every time he graces the course in the company of his father. The presence of a legend like Tiger Woods, on the greens, has been indubitably helpful to the young prodigy as he comes out guns blazing each time.
But now, in a surprise of sorts, the teenage prodigy has been disparaged, albeit indirectly, by another youngster. A video of a young boy making light work of the course, that too in the presence of the legend, has caught many by surprise, proving he is nothing short of an “ace!”

The legend himself is hosting the TGR Invitational that is underway at Pebble Beach. And this would have proved to be an immense push for his 14-year-old son, who is taking part in the same. But surprisingly, another youngster has made the news, pushing back the teenage golfer, owing to a stellar performance.
Holden Bautista has made his parents and mentors proud by scoring a hole-in-one at the event hosted by the Hall of Famer. The 11-year-old was able to hit an ace at The Hay, which is a nine-hole short course designed by the GOAT and TGR Design.
A video uploaded on X (previously known as Twitter) has captivated the hearts of many as the young prodigy from Riverside was seen celebrating with his fellow golfers and teammates. Moreover, the 15X major winner was also spotted congratulating Bautista while offering a memento to the juvenile golfer all the while conveying how proud he is of him.
“Oh you have an ace? Nice. I do too, and I did it in front of Tiger Woods.”

A post uploaded by NUCLR GOLF showcased the GOAT’s son driving the ball at the Pebble Beach Golf Links. The teenager was accompanied by his team including his father who was spotted observing the 14-year-old practicing a round of golf. But what turned the heads of many fans was the stark similarity that he shared with his own dad.
A lot of people responded to the tweet as to how Charlie and his gameplay look exactly like that of his father. Besides, some were also critical of the same as he was given a lot of the benefits on a silver platter owing to his father being the athlete he is. Nevertheless, one can’t help but admire the young Woods as he showcases the exquisite skills and techniques inherited from the Hall of Famer.
