Tiger and son Charlie to team again at PNC Champ.

Tiger Woods is returning to the PNC Championship, a beloved 36-hole event for him, all thanks to his partner: His son.

Woods and his 14-year-old Charlie will be participating in the PNC Championship for the fourth consecutive year. This tournament has been the one event he has not missed in the last four injury-ridden years.

Woods expressed his excitement on Wednesday, saying, “It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie and we genuinely do look forward to playing in the PNC Championship all years. Competing together, against a field of so many golfing greats and their families, is so special.”

The PNC Championship is set for Dec. 16-17 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando at Grande Lakes.

Woods and his son finished as runners-up in 2021, just 10 months after Woods badly damaged his right leg and ankle in a car crash in Los Angeles. They finished seventh in their 2020 debut and tied for eighth last year.

Woods is set to play next week at his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas for the first time since surgery to fuse his right ankle in April after the Masters. Because the PNC Championship is run by the PGA Tour Champions, Woods is allowed to ride in a cart.

The tournament is for major champions or winners of The Players Championship. It began as a father-son outing and now has expanded to modern times, with tour players having sons and daughters, grandchildren, and even parents as their partners.

New to the field this year is a formidable pair of Steve Stricker, who won three of the four majors he played on the PGA Tour Champions this year, and daughter Izzi, a state high school champion in Wisconsin.

Padraig Harrington is participating for the sixth year, this time with youngest son Ciaran instead of Paddy.

Lee Trevino is also back at 84 years old, the only player to have competed in the PNC Championship every year since it began in 1995.
