Tiger Woods will team up with son Charlie to play at the PNC Championship next month, tournament organisers have confirmed.
Team Woods will make their third consecutive appearance in the 36-hole scramble event at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando from December 17-18, where major champions and winners of The Players compete alongside a family member.
The pair finished seventh on debut in 2020 before claiming an impressive runner-up finish in December's contest, where Woods made his first tournament appearance since suffering career-threatening injuries in a car crash last February.
