The PNC Championship isn’t where we see an exceptional display of skills, but also special bonds. At the tournament, parents tee off with their children to create a memorable moment on the greens. John Daly is getting ready to play at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club; another golf legend is here to join him. No, it’s not Tiger Woods!

In the first week of September, Daly shared an update on Instagram where he confirmed his presence at the PNC Championship scheduled in December. Long John reshared an old clip of the PNC Championship and simply wrote, “Can’t wait. Coming soon. Daly double in December.” Now, Annika Sorenstam is joining John Daly. NUCLR GOLF shared a post on X and wrote, “Annika Sorenstam and son Will McGee commit to the PNC Championship in Orlando this December.”

Amidst all this, Tiger Woods’s chances to play at the tournament are looking slim. Recently, Woods went through lumbar spine surgery for nerve impingement, and currently, he is “forward to tackling this rehab.” Last year, Team Woods finished in T5 after pulling an incredible comeback on the final day of the tournament. Although Tiger Woods indicated during the Open Championship that he would likely play in the PNC Championship in December, his recent surgery has disrupted those plans, making it highly unlikely he’ll compete in Orlando this December.

The Woods duo has never been able to win the PNC Championship, and it seems with other powerful duos confirming, and their confirmation still hanging out there, the dream might get postponed a year further. Annika Sorenstam, who joined the LPGA Tour in 1994 and boasts 72 tour victories and 10 major titles, is regarded as one of the greatest golfers in women’s history. However, at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, she won’t be competing as a legend but as the mother of young Will McGee. And who knows, this mother duo might create another memorable moment like last year.

Annika Sorenstam’s son had “the best week” last year at the PNC Championship

Last year, when Sorenstam teed off with her son at the PNC Championship, it resulted in an unforgettable memory. After finishing T11 at the tournament, the mother-son duo was brought to tears. PGA Tour Champions shared a post on X captioning “An emotional interview with Will McGee and @ANNIKA59 after a special week @PNCChampionship.” In the interview, Will McGee said, “It’s the best week of my year and life,” while recalling the moment with his mother on the greens. 

The LPGA legend said, “It’s so much fun; we had a good time together.” The pair were also on the on the verge of “happy tears” as they recounted the final day of the championship. Overall, it was an unforgettable memory for both of them, and they are looking forward to creating something worth remembering this time at the PNC Championship as well.
