Tiger Woods and Charlie return to the PNC Championship

After Tiger Woods made his return to action at the Hero World Challenge, he is gearing up to compete in the PNC Championship alongside his son, Charlie. Last year, they were tied for second after the first round, but couldn't maintain their position. This will be their fourth appearance at the event.

Charlie Woods has been performing well recently, with his high school team winning the state golf championship in November. Both father and son are looking forward to the tournament and hope to secure their first PNC Championship title.

Tiger Woods' impressive driving

In the Hero World Challenge, Tiger Woods showcased his driving skills, which he considers the best part of his game during the week. He mentioned that he has been working on his driving and was pleased with his performance.

Woods expressed his enthusiasm about not needing to make significant changes to his game in preparation for the PNC Championship. He plans to continue working on tightening up some areas as he approaches his 2024 campaign.

Notable players and storylines

The PNC Championship features a strong field, including defending champions Vijay Singh and his son, Qass, who shot two sub-60 rounds to secure victory last year. Other notable family pairings include John Daly and his son, Justin Thomas and his father, Nelly Korda and her father Petr, and Annika Sorenstam and her son Will McGee.

Steve Stricker and his daughter Izzi are making their debut this year, while Lee Trevino continues his streak as the only player to participate in every iteration of the tournament. Matt Kuchar, Bernhard Langer, David Duval, Nick Faldo, and Jim Furyk are also among the major champions and icons of the game competing.
