Furthermore, Woods had stated his intention of returning to the field after announcing his involvement at the Hero World Challenge in the first week of December. But the PNC announcement comes as a pleasant surprise, considering he’ll now be teeing up in as many as three tournaments in a month.

Helping him on his way will be his son Charlie Woods, who has been playing numerous underage golf competitions recently. The father-son duo finished second in the last year’s edition, only behind John Daly and his son, John Daly II.
