The end-of-year event PNC Championship, in which the winner of the PGA Tour and his family participate in a shot match, will kick off. A large number of luxury groups, including Tiger Woods and his son, as well as defending champions Vijay Singh and Justin Thomas, will participate.
The PNC Championship, which will be held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, for two days from the 17th (Korea time), is an event in which 20 former major champions play as a team of two players with their families. The competition, which was first held in 1995, started as a Father & Son golf competition with father and son, changed its name to the PNC Championship in 2020, and developed into a family competition.
The reason why the event attracts attention every year is because of Tiger Woods, the “golf emperor.” Attention is focusing on whether Woods, who signaled his comeback by completing 72 holes at the Hero World Challenge event earlier this month, will be able to win the title this time. Unlike other competitions, players can ride carts, allowing Woods to concentrate on the game without much burden. Woods will compete with his son Charlie for the fourth consecutive year starting in 2020. He finished seventh in 2020, second in 2021, and eighth last year.
In addition to the Woods father and son, a number of former champions will also participate, including defending champion Vijay Singh, 2021 winner John Daly, Justin Thomas (2020), David Duvall (2016), Stewart Sink (2013), and Bernhard Langer (2005, 2006, 2014, 2019). The “Golf Empress” Annika Sorenstam will compete with her son, Will McGee, and her father, Petr, who was a tennis player.
Who will be the winner of this year’s championship? The PNC Championship will be broadcasted simultaneously from the first round on JTBC Golf and JTBC Golf & Sports at 3 a.m. on July 17 to the final round on July 18. 먹튀검증
