PGA Tour legend to debut at PNC Championship, not Tiger Woods

By
Tiger Woods PNC Championship

The PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, FL, is one many golf fans look forward to.

It pits previous majors (or Players Championship) winners and their relatives against one another in a fun, 36-hole scramble for the Willie Park Trophy.

Eighteen of the 20 pairings for the 2024 PNC Championship were released Monday. One of the new teams features a PGA Tour legend and fan favorite, Fred Couples, and his 16-year-old stepson, Hunter Hannemann. Couples has long since been beloved by golf fans around the world, going back to his 1992 win at The Masters.

He also captured the Players Championship twice during his career, in 1984 and 1996.

One of the other new teams this year will see Trevor Immelman and his 18-year-old son Jacob.

But one glaring omission from the initial field release is Tiger Woods and his son Charlie. The Woods duo has played in each of the last four PNC Championship events, finishing runner-up in 2021. There are still two spots left to be revealed, but it appears unlikely Woods will be there.

Tiger Woods recently underwent another back surgery in September. Woods slogged his way through the Masters to a 60th-place finish. He then missed the cut at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and Open Championship.

The rest of the PNC Championship field will look very familiar to golf fans. Bernhard Langer and his son Jason will be back, looking to defend their title. The rest of the players are as follows:

  • Stewart Cink and Connor Cink
  • John Daly and John Daly II
  • David Duval and Brady Duval
  • Nick Faldo and Matthew Faldo
  • Nelly Korda and Petr Korda
  • Matt Kuchar and Carson Kuchar
  • Bernhard Langer and Jason Langer
  • Tom Lehman and Sean Lehman
  • Justin Leonard and Luke Leonard
  • Mark O’Meara and Sean O’Meara
  • Gary Player and Alexander Hall
  • Nick Price and Greg Price
  • Vijay Singh and Qass Singh
  • Annika Sorenstam and Will McGee
  • Steve Stricker and Izzi Stricker
  • Lee Trevino and Sean Trevino
  • TBD
  • TBD

The tournament is slated for December 19th through the 22nd.

Concerns Mount Over Tiger Woods & Son Charlie’s Absence As the Duo’s Comeback Window Narrows

By
Tiger Woods Son Charlie

“To have both my kids out there the last two days has been so special.” – said an ecstatic Tiger Woods back in 2023.

He was referring to the family week that he and his two children, Charlie and Sam, enjoyed at the PNC Championship. But that was back in 2023. What about 2024? Unfortunately, the father-son Woods duo hasn’t yet confirmed their entry in the PGA Tour Champions event. And the fans are worried about the same!

The list of confirmed teams was released by the upcoming tournament. They did so while revealing how 18 teams committed to the event as of November 18, 2024, with just two spots remaining. Interestingly enough, the name of the Woods duo wasn’t seen anywhere on the list of confirmed teams.

The fans can only wait and see!
