Tiger Woods to return to action at PNC Championship with son Charlie | Golf News

Tiger Woods is set to return to the PNC Championship – live on Sky Sports – with 15-year-old son Charlie, his first competition since The Open in July and after having a sixth surgery on his back three months ago.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with Charlie every year since 2020.

The tournament invites players who have won majors or The Players Championship with family members, typically their children.

“Playing together is something we look forward to and it’s always more special when you’re surrounded by friends and family,” said Woods, who set a Masters record in April by making his 24th consecutive cut.

The 48-year-old had a microdiscectomy in September to alleviate pain down his legs, his sixth surgery on his lower back.

Prior to that he was already recovering from leg and ankle injuries sustained after his horror car crash in February 2021.

His last victory was the Zozo Championship in Japan in the fall of 2019, tying Sam Snead for the PGA Tour’s record of 82 career titles, but there is no indication how often he can play in 2025.

“Whether my commitment going forward is once a month, yeah, I could say that all over again,” Woods said last week. “But I truly don’t know. I’m just trying to rehab and still get stronger and better and feel better, really give myself the best chance I can going into next year.”

The PNC Championship features 13-year-old Will McGee, the son of Annika Sorenstam, and 89-year-old Gary Player. Nelly Korda returns to play with her father, former tennis Grand Slam champion Petr Korda.

New to the tournament this year are Fred Couples and stepson Hunter Hannemann, and Trevor Immelman and son Jacob.

The tournament runs from December 21-22 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, for 20 teams – live on Sky Sports Golf.
