Woods completed a sensational comeback when he won the major championship in 2019
A lot of golfers never experience the thrill of hitting a hole-in-one throughout their entire lives. Notably, even the legendary Seve Ballesteros never managed to achieve this feat during his professional career.
So making two in one round is pretty wild: it has only happened three times in the history of the PGA Tour.
But for 11-year-old Holden Bautista, that was not even the coolest thing to happen for him at the TGR Junior Invitational.
Footage emerged of the kid sparking wild scenes by making a hole-in-one and getting a personal congratulations from Tiger Woods, who hosts the event.
It turns out Holden made another hole-in-one during his round – and then called out Woods to his face at a Q&A afterwards.
Holden wanted to know if the 15-time major winner, widely considered one of the greatest athletes in history, ever achieved his feat of two hole-in-ones in the same day.
“I mean, you’re the GOAT,” the kid said to Woods. “I feel like it would be expected. But it’s OK.”
The crowd burst into laughter and applauded the young man’s boldness.
Tiger Woods, who was sat next to the TaylorMade CEO, took it like a champ.

The 47-year-old responded: “Yeah, you had to go there with double hole-in-ones, huh?
“I’ll give you that one.”
It is thought Woods has made 20 hole-in-ones during his golfing career, but only three on the PGA Tour – and never two in one round.
So we make that Holden 1-0 Woods.
