Tiger Woods is returning to the PNC Championship, the 36-hole event that has become one of his favorites because of his partner: His son. Woods and 14-year-old Charlie are playing the PNC Championship for the fourth straight year, the one tournament he has not missed during the last injury-plagued four years. “It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie and we genuinely do look forward to playing in the PNC Championship all years,” Woods said Wednesday. “Competing together, against a field of so many golfing greats and their families, is so special.”The PNC Championship is Dec. 16-17 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando at Grande Lakes. Because the PNC Championship is run by the PGA Tour Champions, Woods is allowed to ride in a cart.
