Tiger Woods and 13-year-old son Charlie are returning to the PNC Championship with hopes of doing one better than last year.
The 20-team field is for winners of majors or The Players
Championship and a child or parent. This will be the third time Woods plays. A
year ago, he and Charlie finished one shot behind John Daly and his son.
The 36-hole event, televised by NBC, is Dec. 17-18 at the
Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando.
“We have been looking forward to this week all year,” Woods
said. “This is such a special opportunity as a dad to get to compete with my
son against so many golfing greats and their family members. It is going to be
a very special week and I know that Charlie and I will have a blast.”
Woods has not competed since he missed the cut in the
British Open at St. Andrews in July. He is playing next week in his Hero World
Challenge in the Bahamas, a 72-hole event against a 20-man field of the world’s
top players.
He also has a made-for-TV exhibition on Dec. 10 with Rory
McIlroy as his partner against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
That will be seven rounds in 18 days.
Thomas and Spieth also will be at the PNC Championship with
their fathers. Thomas and his father, longtime club professional Mike Thomas,
won in 2020.
Annika Sorenstam is playing again, this time with her son,
Will. The PNC field also includes Nelly Korda and her father, Petr, a former
Australian Open tennis champion.
