Bernhard Langer and his son Jason played well at the PNC Championship but missed the podium as defending champions.
The 2025 PNC Championship, held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Orlando, Florida, marked the season finale of the PGA Champions Tour. Played in a two-day scramble format, the family team event saw Team Kuchar emerge victorious ahead of Team Love and Team Daly. Bernhard Langer and his son Jason finished tied for seventh, while fan favorite John Daly and his son John II claimed a share of second place.
Team Kuchar, consisting of 2016 Ryder Cup winner Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron, delivered a dominant performance. They opened with a flawless round of 15 birdies on Saturday and followed up with 14 birdies and two eagles on Sunday. Their total of 33-under-par secured a clear victory atop the leaderboard.
Sharing second place at 26-under-par were Team Daly and Team Love. John Daly and his son John II impressed with back-to-back rounds of 59, each featuring nine birdies and two eagles. Davis Love III, the 1997 PGA Champion, and his son Dru shot 60 on Saturday and followed with 14 birdies on Sunday to match Daly’s total.
Nelly Korda shines in family format
Former Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker teamed up with his daughter Izzi to finish tied for fourth at 25-under-par. They shared the spot with Team Korda, featuring two-time major winner and Olympic gold medalist Nelly Korda and her father Petr. The Kordas posted rounds of 60 and 59, making Nelly the only LPGA Tour pro in the field to finish in the top five.
Bernhard Langer finishes T7 with son Jason
Defending champions Bernhard and Jason Langer couldn’t repeat their previous success. The two-time Masters champion and his son opened with a bogey-free 61 (-11) and improved to a 60 (-10) on Sunday. Their total of 23-under-par placed them in a tie for seventh, just outside the top ranks.
