Game Review!

The highly anticipated PNC Championship was recently held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. This year, a total of 20 teams participated, including Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods. Woods and his son Charlie have participated in this 36-hole competition every year since 2020. The PNC Championship invites players who have won major championships or the Players Championship to bring their families to participate, usually their children, and sometimes their parents. There is no doubt that Tiger Woods will drive a golf cart to play in this year's PNC Championship. "We are both very much looking forward to playing together. It feels more special when you are surrounded by family and friends." Woods said. This is also the fifth time that Tiger and Charlie have participated in the PNC Championship. They hope to improve on last year's tie for fifth place. They have never won this event, and their best record is the runner-up in 2021. In addition, new teams this year include Fred Couples and his stepson Hunter Hannemann, Trevor Immelman and his son Jacob.

 

In the first round, the Woods father and son worked together to shoot 59 strokes, and tied for the lead with the Langer father and son, and the Singh father and son with a total score of -13. Although he missed the Hero World Challenge hosted by himself due to physical reasons, Tiger Woods decided to continue to be a good father and accompany his son Charlie Woods to play this game in this year's PNC Championship. This is Woods' "first official competition" in recent months. The Woods father and son scored 13 birdies throughout the game, including 3 consecutive birdies in the first three holes, and finished with 6 birdies in the first nine holes. After the transition, the Woods father and son caught 5 birdies in a row from holes 12 to 16, and finally finished with a score of -13 with 13 birdies. This is the fifth time Tiger and Charlie have participated in the PNC Championship. They hope to go one step further based on their tie for fifth place last year. They have never won this event, and their best record is the runner-up in 2021. Talking about their performance after the game, Charlie: "It felt pretty good. I didn't play particularly well, but Dad saved me in some key moments and I made some key putts." Tiger: "This is a best ball game, we tried our best to play every shot for each other and cooperated tacitly. I think we played very well as a whole today, we made up for each other's shortcomings, which was great. And Charlie made most of the putts today." Talking about Tiger's view on the state of his game, Tiger: "I just want to have fun here. I'm very rusty, like I said, this is a best ball game, we just want to have fun on the field. Cooperate with each other, put each other in a favorable position, and encourage each other to make the ideal shot." Talking about the tension on the tee, Tiger: "Of course, I always feel nervous. That's the fun of the game. I always tell you that if I'm not nervous, it means I don't care. I care about my game. So, yes, as the years accumulate, I will become more calm playing in front of people. This is the role of experience and time." "But I was really nervous on my first shot today. It's great to feel that nervousness, and it's really good to feel that 'butterflies flying' feeling." Charlie: "I don't know, maybe as I get older, I've learned how to deal with different things. Like last year, I was too focused on winning and the game, I ignored other things, and I didn't enjoy the game. Like Dad said, I did much better today." In addition, five-time champion and defending champion Bernhard Langer and son Jason Langer, and 2022 tournament champion Vijay Singh and son Kass Singh, both caught birdies on the 18th hole and scored 59 strokes (-13), tied for first place on the list with Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods. The three groups of players led the way.

 

Earlier, the PNC Championship came to an end at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. The Woods and Langer entered a fierce overtime with a total score of -28. In the end, the Langers ended the game with a wonderful eagle, winning the 2024 PNC Championship again after winning in 2023, and the Woods won the runner-up. The Woods, who were tied for the lead in the first round, played even more exciting in the second round than the 59 shots in the first round. In the first two holes of the opening, they won two consecutive birdies, and then on the par-3 hole No. 4, Charlie Woods got the first "hole in one" in his golf career. From the 5th to the 7th hole, the Woods and his sons scored 3 consecutive birdies, and the closing hole was also a birdie. The two turned the field with a score of -8. In the last nine holes, the state of the Woods and his sons was no less than the "first half". Only two holes did not catch birdies, and the rest of the holes were birds! The 10th and 11th holes, which started the back nine holes, had two consecutive birdies! From the 13th to the 16th holes, there were four consecutive birdies. Together with the birdie on the closing hole, the Woods father and son finished with 57 strokes. The Langer father and son were also in good shape, with 1 eagle and 5 birdies on the first nine holes, and 8 birdies on the back nine holes, and finally finished with 57 strokes, entering the overtime with the Woods father and son. In the overtime, on the par-5 18th hole, the Woods father and son finished with a birdie, and the Langer father and son were one step ahead, hitting an eagle and winning the PNC Championship again. On this unforgettable day of competition, Charlie Woods hit a hole-in-one on the par-3 4th hole, which ignited the scene. He also frequently made key putts everywhere on the course, showing a superb performance. This is the second time that the Woods father and son team has won the runner-up in the PNC Championship. Although the victory still eluded them, the day of victory seems to be not far away. The Langer father-son team successfully defended their 2023 title. Bernhard Langer has now won six PNC Championships with different partners. "It was awesome," said Charlie Woods after the match. "No one made a mistake today, and it was the most fun I've ever had. And I got a hole-in-one, which I think is probably something I won't be able to surpass. It was awesome." "It was one of the best moments we've ever had," added Tiger Woods. "On the previous hole, he made his first eagle, and now he just made his first hole-in-one. It was an amazing two-hole run. I'm so happy for him and for the fun we had as a family. It was so fun to play with Bernhard Langer and Jason Langer... It was a back-and-forth match today, no one made a mistake, and we had to give it our all, and that's what makes it fun." "I'm far from my competitive form, but I'm a good foursome partner. We were a great team this week, and that's what's fun: being with family and enjoying each other's company."

 

The results of the PGA Tour vs. LIV match we mentioned earlier have been announced. The top PGA Tour duo Scottie Scheffler & Rory McIlroy won all three events, and defeated the "twin stars" of LIV golf, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, without any suspense, and dominated Shadow Creek! In the four-player four-ball match, the PGA Tour duo defeated the LIV duo with a score of 3 wins and 2 losses; in the four-player two-ball match, the PGA Tour duo won by winning 1 hole. In the final individual confrontation, Scottie Scheffler took the lead in defeating Brooks Koepka to "end" the match. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and powerful superstar Rory McIlroy showed excellent form in the match. Although this was just an informal match, it can be seen that the two were in good competitive form. Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, who are both strong in themselves, did not play to their due strength in Shadow Creek. It is obvious that the two have participated less recently and their competitive form is not as good as Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. However, as a "commercial entertainment event", who wins or loses does not mean much. What everyone cares about is the process of the fight between the dragon and the tiger.
