Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie, will compete in this year’s PNC Championship, a 36-hole event for major championship members and one of their relatives.

It will be the fourth straight year that Woods competes in the event, which will be played Dec. 16-17 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.

Woods, who is also scheduled to play in next week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, tied for second with Charlie in the 2021 event, which was the first time he played publicly since the car crash of February 2021 which caused significant injuries to his lower right leg and foot.

The tournament, which has a Friday pro-am, is sanctioned by the PGA Tour Champions, which means Woods is allowed to use a golf cart.

“It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie,’’ Woods said in a statement released by the tournament.

Others in the 20-team field include Lee Trevino, 83, who is making his 26th appearance in the event and Padraig Harrington. Justin Thomas, John Daly, Vijay Singh, Nelly Korda, Annika Sorenstam and Tom Lehman are also scheduled to play.
