PNC Championship: Date, course, format and is Tiger Woods playing?

With Christmas almost upon us and the 2024 PGA TOUR season in the books, attentions turn to the post-season events.

After the season-ending RSM Classic, the Hero World Challenge sees some of the best players in the world tee it up in the Bahamas, though the 20-man field is an unofficial event with no FedEx Cup points given out.

The following week sees 16 mixed teams compete at the Grant Thornton Invitational and the week before Christmas, the PNC Championship hosts 20 parent-child duos in a scramble.

Is Tiger Woods playing at the PNC Championship?

Yes, as he did in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Tiger Woods will tee it up at the PNC Championship alongside son Charlie.

His first round tee time is 15:44 GMT.

Can female golfers compete in the PNC Championship?

Although the event was initially known at the Father/Son Challenge, Fuzzy Zoeller played with his daughter in 2005 and Bernhard Langer twice played with his daughter in 2013 and 2016. Arnold Palmer also played with grandson Sam Saunders in 2013.
