Harrington to partner youngest son Ciaran in PNC Championship as Tiger and Charlie Woods team up again
Tiger Woods will play with son Charlie in next month's PNC Championship as Padraig Harrington teams up with his youngest son Ciaran for the first time.
The Woods duo will return to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando for the fourth time from December 14-17, looking to improve on their best finish of tied second two years ago.
"It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie and we genuinely do look forward to playing in the PNC Championship all year," said 15-time Major winner Woods, who will return to action for the first time since the Masters and subsequent ankle surgery at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas next week.
"Competing together, against a field of so many golfing greats and their families, is so special."
Harrington, who recently added a sixth Champions Tour title to his resumé, is returning to Grande Lakes for a sixth time, but this time he will be partnering his youngest son, Ciaran, who will be 16 next month.
"Ciaran has been working hard on his game recently and he wanted to have his turn," Harrington explained.
"It was actually Ciaran watching Paddy and I play together out there these last couple of years that really ignited his passion for the game, which shows what a very special event this is.
"He must have watched me play in hundreds of events over the years and it has taken the unique atmosphere and experience of the PNC Championship to inspire him!"
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.
The only team making their debut this year is Steve Stricker and daughter, Izzi, who complete the 20-team line-up for the 26th edition.
