Tiger and Charlie competed in the championship in 2021 but were placed second to John Daly and his son John II.
I'm thrilled to close out a great December by returning to compete in the @PNCchampionship with my son Charlie. Getting to play as a Dad makes the week that much more special.
Rumors of them returning for the PNC championship have spread like wildfire. On Friday, Tiger Woods finally confirmed that he and Charlie would be attending the star-studded event that will take place from December 17–18 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando.
While announcing the good news, Tiger Woods stated that he was excited to share the golf course with his 13-year-old son. Woods said:
"We have been looking forward to this week all year and we can't wait to team up together for our third PNC Championship. This is such a special opportunity as a dad to get to compete with my son against so many golfing greats and their family members. It's going to be a very special week, and I know that Charlie and I will have a blast."
It is important to note that Tiger Woods is committed to playing three championships next month.
