Tiger and Charlie Woods and Padraig and Paddy Harrington complete the 20-team line-up of the 2024 PNC Championship, taking place Dec. 19-22, 2024, at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Grande Lakes.
Returning to the PNC Championship for a fifth time, Team Woods will be looking to improve on their best finish of solo second in 2021 and tied fifth place last year.
Fifteen-time major winner Woods commented, “I’m very excited to head back to the PNC Championship next week with Charlie. Playing together is something we look forward to and it’s always more special when you’re surrounded by friends and family.”
Paddy Harrington will partner with dad Padraig for a sixth time after sitting on the bench last year when younger brother Ciaran made his debut.
Padraig commented, “My two lads would both like to partner me, so it’s great that they are sharing it. I’m so pleased that they are both loving playing golf and that our family is able to experience this unique tournament together.”
This star-studded field has won 69 majors and 40 senior major titles and more than 1000 international titles. There are five past champions in the field (listed below) and two teams making their debut this year – Team Couples and Team Immelman. The youngest partner is 13-year-old Will McGee, while the ‘most experienced’ is Gary Player at 89 years young.

The tournament, which will be broadcast live across NBC, GOLF Channel and Peacock, attracts major champions whose victories this year span 1959 to the present day.
The PNC Championship has continued to evolve and develop since the inaugural tournament in 1995, when 10 major winners gathered with their sons. The tournament now features 20 major champions and their relatives competing in a two-day, 36-hole scramble for the Willie Park Trophy. To qualify for the PNC Championship, players must have won a major championship or The Players Championship. Their partner must not hold any playing status on a professional Tour.
