Team Kuchar wins 2025 PNC Championship, Langer duo finishes T7

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, concluded with Team Kuchar taking the title ahead of Team Love and Team Daly. The event, which marks the season finale of the PGA Champions Tour, was played in a two-day scramble format and featured family duos, including Bernhard and Jason Langer (T7) and fan favorite John Daly with his son John II (T2).

Team Kuchar, consisting of 2016 Ryder Cup winner Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron, delivered a flawless opening round with 15 birdies on Saturday. They followed up with 14 birdies and two eagles on Sunday, finishing at an impressive 33-under-par to secure a dominant victory.

Sharing second place at 26-under-par were Team Daly and Team Love. John Daly and his son John II posted two consecutive rounds of 59, each featuring nine birdies and two eagles. Davis Love III, the 1997 PGA Champion, and his son Dru opened with a 60 and added 14 birdies on Sunday to match the Dalys’ total.

Nelly Korda shines in family format

Former Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker teamed up with his daughter Izzi, finishing T4 at 25-under-par. They shared the spot with Team Korda, featuring two-time major champion and Olympic gold medalist Nelly Korda and her father Petr. The Kordas improved from an opening 60 to a 59 on Sunday, showcasing strong form throughout the weekend.

Team Langer finishes tied seventh

Defending champions Bernhard Langer, a two-time Masters winner, and his son Jason opened with a bogey-free 61 and improved to a 60 on Sunday. Despite their solid performance, their total of 23-under-par placed them in a tie for seventh, just outside the top ranks.
