Tiger Woods and his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, shared a rare family moment on December 22 at the 2024 PNC Championship, where their son Charlie competed. A video capturing Tiger, Charlie, and his sister, Sam, interacting with Elin stole the spotlight, sparking curiosity among netizens about their relationship.

The reunion, captured in an Instagram video uploaded by Golf on CBS, showed Tiger, dressed in his signature red golf attire, hugging Elin, who wore a white sweatshirt and navy cap.

Tiger stood a few steps away from Elin, holding a golf glove as he watched his family with a calm yet attentive demeanor.

Another angle showed Elin hugging Sam, adding a tender touch to the reunion. Charlie stood beside them while the veteran golfer watched closely.

The heartfelt moment sparked a wave of reactions online. One commenter joked, “Maybe they’re going to get back together…..🤣,” while another enthusiastically claimed, “Tiger and Elin are getting back together!”

Others dismissed the possibility, pointing out Elin’s reserved demeanor. “Elin was there, but only for her kids. That hug said it all (back pats. She was uncomfortable with him). She has moved on, but he hurt her so bad that you can still see it in her body language when he gets closer to her,” wrote one viewer. Another added, “Kids look like her!”

An observant user viewed Elin’s gesture as a classic “ex-wife move” and another described it as “Cordial but cold,” referencing Elin’s Swedish roots.

Others took a more sentimental tone, expressing admiration for the family dynamic. One noted how both parents seemed to genuinely enjoy their children, while another saw it as a reminder of what Tiger had lost, lamenting his past decisions.

Some viewers focused on Tiger’s demeanor, suggesting his expression conveyed regret as he looked at his ex-wife, whom they described as a “good woman.” Others simply appreciated the interaction, calling it “really nice” to see the pair share a hug.

Beyond the initial video that sparked online buzz, Tiger and Elin continued to show their dedication to Charlie during the tournament. Charlie navigated a challenging round, bogeying the second, third, and eighth holes but recovering with birdies on No. 6, 12, and 13 to finish at par.

Tiger observed much of the action from a golf cart. Though quiet for most of the round, he briefly spoke with Charlie during key moments, such as after his birdie on No. 12. Elin joined Tiger in the golf cart for part of the round.

After Charlie sank his final putt on No. 18, Elin was the first to greet him with a proud hug, a fitting close to a round filled with both challenges and highlights.

Charlie declined to comment on his performance, but his coach, Toby Harbeck, commended his determination, noting similarities between Charlie and his father’s competitive drive. “He’s tough on himself. If he could just relax and play, store some of that energy, it’s good,” Harbeck said.

But the day didn’t end there. The thrilling game soon turned into an unforgettable moment for Charlie.

During the final round of the tournament, Charlie achieved his first-ever hole-in-one, marking an extraordinary milestone. He executed the impressive shot on a par-3 hole with a 7-iron.

In the video capturing the moment, the teen’s focus was evident as he took a smooth swing and watched the ball’s trajectory.

The ball landed roughly six feet to the left of the hole and gently rolled into the cup.

As the ball disappeared, Charlie paused mid-stride, raising his hand with an open palm to waist level while a surprised smile spread across his face.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the young golfer turned to his father for a heartfelt celebratory hug. Their matching red shirts and black pants added to the iconic moment, a nod to Tiger’s signature style.

Tiger, beaming with pride, exclaimed, “Yeah!” and gave Charlie a playful push as they celebrated the moment together.

After the round, Charlie spoke about his accomplishment with a mix of awe and excitement. “It was awesome,” he said. “No one made a mistake today, so that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. On top of that, I made an ace. I don’t think I can top that.”

For Tiger, the moment was as special as any in his storied career. “That’s one of the highlights we’ve ever had,” he shared.

Reflecting on Charlie’s growth in the game, Tiger added, “On the hole previous, he made his first eagle (in a previous PNC), and now he just made his first hole-in-one. It’s a magical two-hole stretch. I’m just so happy for him and for the enjoyment we had as a family.”

Acknowledging that he is not in peak physical shape for competitive play, Tiger Woods emphasized his value as a dependable teammate in scramble-style golf, where players contribute their best shots collectively.

He expressed that the tournament’s greatest reward was the opportunity to partner with his son and share such meaningful moments on the course.
