Bernhard Langer and 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 the Champions Tour season with a family-style scramble format over two rounds. Team Kuchar emerged victorious, finishing ahead of Team Love and Team Daly. Among the notable participants were Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, who tied for seventh, and fan favorite John Daly with his son John II, who tied for second.
Team Kuchar, consisting of 2016 Ryder Cup winner and multiple Presidents Cup champion Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron, delivered an exceptional performance. They opened with a flawless round featuring 15 birdies and followed up with 14 birdies and two eagles on the final day. Their total of 33-under-par secured a commanding win.
Trailing behind were Team Daly and Team Love, both finishing at 26-under-par. John Daly and his son John II impressed with two rounds of 59, each including nine birdies and two eagles. Davis Love III, the 1997 PGA Champion, and his son Dru posted a 60 on Saturday and followed with 14 birdies on Sunday to share second place.
Nelly Korda Shines in Fourth Place
Former Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker teamed up with his daughter Izzi, finishing 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 improved from an opening 60 to a 59 on Sunday, showcasing their strong form.
Defending Champions Langer Fall Short
Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, last year’s winners, couldn’t repeat their success. They opened with a bogey-free 61 and improved to a 60 in the final round, ending at 23-under-par and tied for seventh place on the leaderboard.
