Dark clouds hang over Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods. Quite literally. The weather in Orlando looks bleak and appears to turn even more gloomy over the next few days. Bad news, considering the PNC Championship was the first time since his April bow-out from Augusta, that Tiger Woods would step on the greens on Floridian soil. 

Granted, the 2023 PNC Championship is not an official event in the PGA Tour calendar. No FedEx point is on offer. Neither the 82-time PGA Tour winner can make a massive leap in the OWGR standings. But for golf fans, Major winners playing with their parents/children is the main USP of the event. And that is why netizens are cheesed off.

The weather threatens to turn buzzkill at the 2023 PNC Championship

Thursday marks the date for the first of two Pro-Ams. The weather forecast spells strong winds and potential rain for the day. The temperature will be 74 degrees with 62% humidity. Notably, Charlie Woods and Tiger Woods are not in the lineup on Thursday, and neither are Justin Thomas and Nelly Korda. 

The sky over Ritz Carlton Golf Club will keep on its gloomy appearance for the Friday Pro-Am as well. The wind speed will swing back and forth between 15 to 25 mph. While it doesn’t threaten to stop the game, the high wind means fans are in for a wild ride. But the worst is yet to come.

Saturday’s weather will go downhill significantly–there is a 100% chance of rainfall as per the Weather Channel. Expect heavy showers throughout the day with gushing wind. Michael Anand, the meteorologist for NuclrGolf, tweeted that flash flooding is possible due to two to four inches of rainfall. It does get a little better on Sunday, with heavy showers giving way to drizzle. However, the wind speed can reach 25mph once again. Expect some readjustments of clubs over whether to pick a 7-iron or 9-iron. 

The bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fans of two days earlier appear to be down in the dumps after hearing the news. Most can’t stomach that the weather might blow up this unique opportunity. Some took to X (formerly Twitter), to voice their frustration. 

Fans’ mood resembles the weather

Some fans wondered why the organizer didn’t move it to Monday and Tuesday. The weather gets a little better on Monday with a forecast of sun peeping from behind the clouds. While it’ll be mostly sunny on Tuesday.

Since there are forecasts of heavy rainfalls on the final two rounds of the PNC Championship, one fan quipped Friday Pro-Ams is the best option. Notably, Team Woods will tee off at 9 am on the Friday Pro-Am.

The unfavorable weather will have an adverse effect on the golfers as per this fan. The strong wind can cause some problems on long par 5 holes.

Everyone was expecting to enjoy the friendly outing. However, the weather pours cold water into their plans. This fan was sick as a parrot.

Another fan hoped that the weather would get better and not ruin the fun. Many fans are also hedging their bet against all odds.

For some, however, Tiger Woods’ health status is more important. One fan asked if there is any indication of whether the 15x Major winner will use carts or walk. 

The PNC Championship is set to tee off on December 14 at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club. The 36-hole Tournament pairs up the Major winner with their children.
