Tiger Woods will have one more chance to win a title this year.
The 15-time major champion and winner of a record-tying 82 PGA Tour events, will team with son, Charlie, 11, in the 2020 PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort, it was announced Thursday.
The tournament, which will feature 20 major champions competing alongside a family member, is Dec. 17-20.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am to be playing with Charlie in our first official tournament together,” Woods said in a release. “It’s been great watching him progress as a junior golfer and it will be incredible playing as a team together in the PNC Championship.”
Woods, whose reign as the 2019 Masters champion ended last Sunday when he finished in a tie for 38th, has just one top-10 in nine starts on the PGA Tour this year.
