Tiger Woods and 11-year-old son to battle Padraig Harrington and his son at PGA Tour event

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie will be hunting a title when they team up next month at the PNC Championship, a joint PGA/LPGA Tour family tournament.

Formerly known as the Father/Son Challenge, the PNC Championship will be played at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando from Dec. 17-20 and feature major winners and family members as competing teams.

It marks the first time Woods, winner of 15 majors, and his 11-year-old son have played the tournament that was last year won by Germany's Bernhard Langer and son Jason.

And the 2019 Masters winner will battle it out with Irish star Padraig Harrington and his son Paddy, who are entering the tournament for a third time.

"I can't tell you how excited I am to be playing with Charlie in our first official tournament together," said Woods in a statement on the PGA Tour website.

"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."

The young Woods has shown signs that he has some of his father's golfing genes by winning his age group at a nine hole U.S. Kids golf event in August by five shots.
