The field for the 2022 PNC Championship keeps getting better and better.
Nelly Korda, who won the Pelican LPGA Championship and regained the No. 1 ranking on Sunday, and 2022 PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas highlight the second wave of commitments for the family hit-and-giggle event at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Dec. 17-18. Korda will play with her father, former tennis champion Petr Korda, while Thomas will play with his father, Mike. Justin and Mike Thomas won the event in 2020.
“We absolutely loved our experience last year and are delighted to have been invited again this year. It was such a fun week for the whole family,” said Korda via a release. “It truly was special for my dad and me to compete inside the ropes together. We are definitely looking to improve on our 12th place finish last year and I can’t wait to share this amazing experience with him again.”
Also announced were David and Brayden Duval, Jim and Tanner Furyk, Padraig and Paddy Harrington and Matt and Carson Kuchar. Previously confirmed teams in the field include 2021 winners John Daly and John Daly II, Bernhard and Jason Langer, Jordan and Shawn Spieth, Annika Sorenstam and her son Will, Justin and Luke Leonard, as well as Nick and Greg Price.
