Posted on by Ivana Miteva

The PNC Championship is an annual golf tournament that pairs major champions with family members in a 36-hole scramble format. The 2024 edition is scheduled for December 21-22 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.

To qualify, players must have won either a Major Championship or Players Championship and, with the likes of Tiger Woods, Nelly Korda and Nick Faldo teeing it up, it’s set to be an exciting and feel-good watch.

As of now, the official field for the 2024 PNC Championship includes notable teams such as:

| Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie Woods.

| Defending champions Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason Langer.

| John Daly and his son, John Daly II.

| Annika Sörenstam and her son, Will McGee.

| Nelly Korda and her father, Petr Korda.

Regarding favorites, while specific betting odds for the 2024 PNC Championship are not widely available, teams like the Langers, given their defending champion status, and the Woods duo, due to their popularity and past performances, are expected to be strong contenders.

However, some individuals won’t be playing as a number of current PGA Tour players, as well as some who have moved to LIV Golf, won’t be making the trip over to Florida. 

Here is a list of notable pairings who won’t be competing:

| Justin and Mike Thomas.

| Jordan and Shawn Spieth.

| Henrik and Karl Stenson.

| Jim and Tanner Furyk.

| Bubba and Caleb Watson.

| Tom and Michael Watson.

| Rich and Micheal Beem.

TMRW Sports partners with the International Golf Federation to drive participation in the sport

The partnership between TMRW Sports and the International Golf Federation (IGF) is poised to enhance the growth of golf in several important ways. TMRW Sports, co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is focused on leveraging technology and innovation to modernize sports and engage new audiences. Here’s how this collaboration could impact golf’s future:

1. Youth Engagement and Technology Integration

  • TMRW Sports is dedicated to creating tech-driven experiences that appeal to younger audiences. Through its TGL (Tech-Infused Golf League) initiative, it plans to introduce an innovative team-based format, utilizing advanced technology like augmented reality, immersive broadcasts, and real-time data to create a more interactive viewing experience. The IGF could tap into these advancements to engage younger demographics, making golf more accessible and exciting for new fans.

2. Global Reach and Appeal

  • The IGF, which governs golf in the Olympics and other international events, brings a vast global platform. With TMRW Sports’ backing, golf can reach untapped markets more effectively, especially in regions where traditional formats haven’t resonated strongly. A technology-focused approach can break down geographical barriers, promoting global participation in the sport.

3. Elevating Spectator Experience

  • TMRW Sports aims to modernize the way golf is consumed through innovations in media and fan engagement. This will not only cater to the existing fanbase but will also attract casual viewers who might not be avid golf fans but are drawn in by the dynamic, fast-paced digital experiences.

4. Sustainability and Inclusivity

  • With TMRW Sports’ emphasis on sustainability and inclusivity in sports, the IGF partnership could lead to initiatives that promote broader access to the game. This may include programs designed to foster greater participation across different age groups, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

In essence, the TMRW Sports-IGF partnership could revolutionize golf by combining tradition with modern technology, making it more engaging for future generations and expanding its global appeal.
