The PNC Championship offers golf fans a unique experience with only a select number of top players taking part – along with their family of course.
The field is limited to just 20 players – all of which must have either won a Major or seniors Major or The Players Championship, so we’re assured of household names from past and present on show.
And they take part in the 36-hole team scramble with their family members as their amateur partners at the PNC Championship – who cannot hold any playing status on a professional tour.
