PNC Championship: The promising return of the Woods!
The PNC Championship will be played December 15-18, 2022 at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. Tiger and his son Charlie Woods will try to do better than the previous edition where they finished in 2nd place.
The PNC Championship is made up of 20 two-man teams, with stars like Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, Gary Player, Jordan Spieth teaming up with family members and the defending Daly team they'll try to keep this week.

The two-round event is a scramble. There is no cut in this tournament, which is considered unofficial but organized by the PGA Tour.
The tournament, formerly known as the PNC Father-Son Challenge, which is the official family event of the PGA Tour.
The 20 field professionals must have won a major championship or the Players Championship in their career. The professional's partner must not hold a circuit card.

The PNC Championship 2022 purse is set at $1,085 million, with the winner's share being $200, more than the standard payout of 000% according to the PGA Tour Prize Breakdown Table. The prize is divided between the teammates.
Players on the winning team could each receive $100 for the win if they are both professionals. The winning team also receives a championship belt as a trophy, which is rather elegant and a tribute to the early days of the British Open Championship.
Tiger Woods and his 13-year-old son Charlie are making their third straight appearance at the PNC Championship. They will try to do better than the second place obtained last year, which was marked by a record 11 consecutive birdies in the last round. The Woods finished two lengths behind John Daly and his son, John Daly II, a sophomore at the University of Arkansas.

Tiger recently admitted to being overdriver for the first time by his son Charlie. A promising future for young Charlie, only 13 years old, who follows in his father's footsteps.

In recent months, Charlie has had a string of solid performances in competitions in his age category. Advised by his father, the barely teenager finished 11th in the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship. The power of his swing compared to those of his comrades particularly caught the attention. But it is also and above all his attitude on the ground that calls out: the same facial features, the same facial expressions, the same imperturbable concentration, the same clenched fist to celebrate a difficult putt. Impossible to miss the paternal signature. Especially since the duo enjoys cultivating this resemblance by wearing identical outfits on each of their public outings on the greens.
This tournament promises to be full of talent and golf demonstrations.
