Tiger Woods and ex-wife Elin Nordegren are still supporting each other — and their son Charlie!
The former couple — who divorced in 2010 after six years of marriage — recently embraced each other in happiness after Tiger and Charlie Woods, 15, placed second at the PNC Championship on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Although the father-son duo lost the golf tournament to Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, the moment was highlighted by the unexpected public show of affection between Woods, 48 and Nordegren, 44, which went viral on social media.
Charlie also had a major victory during the tournament’s fourth hole, as he hit his very first hole-in-one right in front of his golf legend dad.
Footage of the moment was posted by the PGA Tour — which also shared that Charlie’s shot was on a par-3 hole and traveled 176 feet for the ace. He used a 7-iron before the ball landed about 6 ft. from the hole itself and then rolled into the cup.

The elder Woods lovingly embraced his son after making the shot and the two were all smiles.
Speaking with the Golf Channel after his milestone golf moment, Charlie said, “It was a perfect 7-iron, so just kind of hit it.”
“Down off the left, a little cut 7. It was awesome. I didn’t think it went in. I don’t believe anybody until I go up there and see it,” he added.
The PNC Championship was truly a family affair, as Woods’ and Nordegren’s 17-year-old daughter Sam acted as her father’s caddie for the event after making her caddie debut at last year’s tournament.

Tiger has repeatedly said that he is always “excited” to play golf with his son. “Charlie clearly loves the times he spends with his dad on the golf course,” a source close to Woods told PEOPLE in 2020. “It’s a definite bonding activity for the two of them.”
Tiger and Charlie played in their first PNC Championship back in 2020. “I don’t think words can describe it,” Tiger said at the time. “Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, it’s memories for a lifetime.”
