Golf fans saw a special sight last weekend with the first video of Tiger Woods swinging a golf club in six months surfacing. But the bigger highlight actually came from an 11-year-old kid playing in front of the 15-time major champion.
Woods was hosting his TGR Jr Invitational at The Hay, the Pebble Beach Par 3 course he designed a few years ago, when the magic happened with a boy named Holden Bautista. Check out the moment this young dude will never forget:
Ace AND a congrats from Tiger as an 11-year-old.

Well, two moments. You’ve got the hole-in-one AND a congratulatory handshake from the GOAT himself. Talk about having a day! And it was a similar situation to what happened at another Tiger design a few years back. Incredible.
And how about that message from Tiger? “I’m proud of you,” Woods says after handing Holden a keepsake commemorating the moment. “Keep it going.”
Inspiring! And it was all captured on video. Little man is going to be the big man on campus when he returns to school. Well, assuming kids still know who Tiger Woods is these days. Please come back soon, Tiger.
