Bubba Watson, father-in-law join field at 2020 PNC Championship

Bubba Watson, accompanied by his father-in-law, is the latest major winner to join the field for the 2020 PNC Championship.

Bubba Watson will partner with his father-in-law, Wayne Ball, for the 2020 PNC Championship.

The two-time Masters winner is making his tournament debut at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Grande Lakes, on Dec. 17-20.

Watson and Ball complete the 20-player field packed with 66 major titles between 20 major champions. Among those previously committed to the event are Annika Sorenstam and her father, Tom; Justin Thomas and father, Mike; Tiger Woods and son, Charlie; and reigning champion Bernhard Langer and son, Jason.

“I am very excited to be playing in this tournament for the first time. I love the family connection with this event,” Watson said in a statement. “My father-in-law, Baller (Wayne), might get a little nervous, especially if we have a chance to win the Willie Park Trophy belt, but I think that will make it all the more fun. My son Caleb is also making the trip with us, which will make this a three-generation experience. I am pretty sure Caleb thinks it’s a scouting trip for the future when he will be old enough to play in the tournament.”
