PNC Championship: Get to know Tiger and Charlie Woods' stiffest competition

Tiger Woods will tee it up this weekend for one last time in 2020, doing so with his son, Charlie, as his teammate in the PNC Championship.

The unofficial PGA Tour event from Orlando will feature 20 two-person teams, each consisting of one major or Players champion and a family member of their choice, playing a 36-hole scramble. Woods was a surprise addition to the field given his strict schedule, but according to Justin Thomas, who is also competing this week, it was Charlie pushing his dad to commit to the event.

Usually, the PNC Championship, formerly referred to as the father-son challenge, draws very little attention. But with Tiger and his 11-year-old son in action, there will be plenty of eyeballs on the December tournament.

Let's get to know the notable teams, shall we?

Team Woods

Starting with the featured tandem of Woods and Woods. Everyone knows Tiger's resume: 15 major titles, 82 PGA Tour wins, and a boatload of other records. But what about his son? There isn't much out there on him, and for good reason. He's not even in high school yet. However, Charlie is winning junior tournaments in Florida and possesses a silky-smooth swing, which you'd sort of expect out of Tiger's son.

But before getting too excited about Charlie's future and anointing him as Tiger's heir, remember, he's only 11. If this is the only time he's ever on TV playing golf and he chooses not to follow in his father's footsteps, that's perfectly OK. Instead, look forward to witnessing Tiger play the role of dad, something golf fans rarely see out of the very private superstar.

Team Thomas

Thomas and his dad, Mike, are the tournament favorites at +250. Justin is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 3 and already expressed his excitement to silence Tiger's trash-talking son.

"It will be fun. We'll have that inner tournament within a tournament, trying to shut his little mouth up, but it will be fun," Thomas joked about going toe-to-toe with Charlie.

As for Mike, he's a former club professional who is Justin's coach and fill-in caddie. He spends a lot more time traveling with Justin than giving lessons or working on his own game, so Mike could be rusty when the cameras are on. JT already alluded to the fact his dad is quite nervous about the event and is putting in the work to sharpen his game.

Team Daly

John Daly and his son, referred to as "Litte John" despite a jarring resemblance to his father, are back for their fifth crack at the PNC Championship.

Papa Daly is currently battling bladder cancer but is still competing on the Champions Tour. His son recently committed to the University of Arkansas after a brilliant junior career. "Little John," just like his father, is a bomber off the tee, and the two of them should put on a display over the weekend.

Team Singh

Vijay Singh and his 30-year-old son, Qass, will make their eighth appearance in the family-oriented event. They finished as runner-ups in 2013 with two other third-place showings but haven't contended in recent years as Vijay nears 60 years of age.

Other notable teams

Team Kuchar: Matt Kuchar and his 13-year-old son, Cameron, are among the favorites to win. Kuchar won the QBE Shootout last week with partner Harris English.

Team Watson: Two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson will team up with his father-in-law, Wayne Ball, whose golf pedigree is unknown. Oddsmakers seem to fancy their chances, pricing the duo at +650 alongside Team Woods and Team Kuchar.

Team Langer: The ageless wonder Bernhard Langer will look to defend his PNC Championship title, but it'll be without his son, Jason, who he's partnered with for two tournament titles. Rather, Langer will play with his daughter, Jackie, who often caddies for Bernhard. Langer's game is in great shape after becoming the oldest player to make the cut at age 63. As for Jackie, the status of her game is completely unknown.

Team Furyk: Jim Furyk and his 17-year-old son, Tanner, will make their tournament debut. Furyk played in the event with his father last year and came tied for 11th.

Team Sorenstam: Annika Sorenstam is the only female pro player in the tournament and is why the event ditched the former father-son designation. The 72-time LPGA winner will play with her father, Tom, in hopes of improving their last-place finish in 2019.

Team Player: Nine-time major winner Gary Player is teaming up with his grandson, James Thoressell. You can count on the 85-year-old South African to demonstrate how physically fit he is with some pushups or jumping jacks on the first tee.
