The PNC Championship is one of the most beloved events in the period of the year known as golf’s “silly season.”
It comes weeks after the intensity of the regular season on the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour, while its family-oriented field offers the perfect opportunity for a more relaxed affair just a week before the holidays.
In total, 20 teams of two, featuring a seasoned pro and one of their family members, take part in the tournament at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando.
The bulk are father-son combinations, including defending champions Bernhard and Jason Langer, while there is also the father-daughter team of Nelly and Petr Korda and the mother-son team of Annika Sorenstam and Will McGee.
As a result, there are some vast age differences between the competitors. The two youngest are 18-year-olds Hunter Hanneman, who is the stepson of Fred Couples, and Matt Kuchar’s son, Cameron.
At the other end of the scale, there is even an over-80 in the field, six-time Major-winning legend Lee Trevino, who is 86.
Largely because of the age disparity, but also taking factors into account such as LPGA members and players who have played less than 12 events, four tee boxes are in use at the tournament, ranging from 5,433 yards to 7,050 yards.
Here are all the players in the PNC Championship field, and which tee boxes they are playing from.
