Initial field for 2024 PNC Championship set, but Tiger and Charlie aren’t entered … yet

A pair of Masters champions are set to make their debut at the 2024 PNC Championship.

Fred Couples and Trevor Immelman will tee it up for the first time next month at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando in the silly-season event. Couples will partner with his 16-year-old stepson, Hunter Hannemann, while Immelman will pair with his 18-year-old son Jacob Immelman.

Eighteen of the 20 teams were announced Monday, and there were plenty of familiar names on the tee sheet. Lee Trevino, who has played in every edition, will be back, as will defending champions Bernhard Langer and son Jason.

However, there is one notable omission as of yet: Tiger Woods and son Charlie.

The duo has teed it up the past four years, including a runner-up finish in 2021. But with Tiger undergoing surgery for another back surgery in September, his status for the PNC, and his Hero World Challenge event in the Bahamas in two weeks, remains in the air.

The PNC features 20 major champions and their relatives competing in a two-day, 36-hole scramble for the Willie Park Trophy. To qualify, players must have won a major championship or the Players while their partner must not hold any playing status on a professional Tour.
