The moment a boy officially becomes a man is up for debate, but for many, it’s when they finally can one-up their dad. Whether it be in an arm wrestling contest, a one-on-one basketball game in the driveway, or a round of golf, eventually, young men can finally topple their fathers in something meaningful, which often leaves the dad both happy, with the evolution of their child, and sad, in that, they lost to their kid.

That moment may have finally arrived for Tiger Woods and his 15-year-old son, Charlie. The elder Woods has a major championship for every year of Charlie’s life, but Charlie finally one-upped his old man on the course, which Tiger Woods revealed on Friday.
