The PNC Championship is one of golf’s most popular events, with the 20-team tournament featuring successful professional players and their loved ones.
The event is open to Major champions and winners of the PGA Tour’s flagship event – The Players Championship – who team up with their amateur family members in a 36-hole scramble.
It has been elevated since 2020 thanks to the participation of 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods and his now-15-year-old son Charlie, while there are plenty of other big draws like World No.1 Nelly Korda and five-time PNC Championship winner Bernhard Langer among many others.
Ahead of this year’s event, we take a look at the 20 amateur golfers set to tee it up alongside their famous family members…

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie is somewhat of a household name in golf now, having appeared in the PNC Championship every year since 2020.
Now 15, Woods jnr is an exciting talent with a picture perfect golf swing. He is a State champion with his high school and also made his US Junior Amateur Championship debut this year.
Every year he impresses us with his talent and last year had one of the moments of the tournament when he chipped in and gave a Tiger-esque fist pump that put a very large smile on his dad’s face.
