The PNC Championship is always an event filled with joy and stories, and this year was no different. The spotlight was clearly on Charlie Woods, the son of golf legend Tiger Woods, who made waves by hitting his very first hole-in-one during the thrilling tournament. This isn’t just any golf outing—this is where family, fun, and competition merge to create unforgettable moments on the course!
As Team Woods aimed for glory at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, they found themselves facing off against last year’s champions, Team Langer. Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason, emerged victorious for the second consecutive year. Langer sealed the deal by sinking an impressive 18-foot eagle putt in a nail-biting playoff. Such talent certainly made the competition fierce!
The Woods and Langer teams both finished with a solid score of 15-under 57, which set a remarkable tournament record of 28-under 116 when combined. This performance highlights just how competitive and thrilling the event is for both players and fans alike.
The event celebrated not just the sport but also the cherished father-son moments. After Charlie hit his amazing hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole, he received a heartwarming hug from his dad. In a light-hearted moment, Charlie joked about being “broke” now and how he would need to buy drinks for everyone following his ace! It’s moments like these that remind us why this tournament is so beloved.
Charlie later reflected that the entire experience, playoff and all, was truly the most fun he’d ever had on the golf course. His father echoed this sentiment, highlighting how events like this reinforce the importance of family bonds over the game.
During the playoff, Langer enjoyed a distance advantage due to the age difference, teeing off from a spot 82 yards ahead of Woods. As for Tiger and Charlie, despite their valiant attempts, their eagle putts just wouldn’t drop, leaving them wishing for more luck on that stroke. Still, the playoff marked an important milestone for Tiger, being his first since a competitive match in 2013—definitely a return to the game he loves!
Even with the pressure and the cool weather, the grandstands were filled with cheering fans, excited to see Tiger’s return to competition after his recent back surgery in September. It was clear the crowd was rooting for him, adding an electric atmosphere to the event.
Interestingly, Langer’s success is even sweeter as he recently recovered from an Achilles tendon injury that sidelined him earlier in the year while playing pickleball. He’s now secured his streak of victories extending over 18 consecutive seasons on the PGA Tour Champions. Langer’s achievements at the PNC Championship now total six titles, with four coming alongside his son Jason and two with his other son, Stefan, who caddied for Jason this time.
In another delightful moment, Padraig Harrington and his son Paddy tied for third in the tournament. Just like Charlie, Paddy also made a hole-in-one, this time on the par-3 eighth hole. It’s fantastic how this tournament is dotted with amazing achievements and family memories!
The PNC Championship is not just about winning—it’s an event where former major winners and their families come together to share in the competitive spirit while leaving with smiles, regardless of the final scores. The total purse of just over $1 million adds to the excitement, but participants find even greater joy in the experience and memories made on the green.
As the dust settles on this year’s event, participants and fans alike are already buzzing with excitement about future PNC Championships. It’s clear that this tournament isn’t just a competition; it’s a celebration of golf, family, and unforgettable moments that everyone looks forward to!
