The 2025 PNC Championship, held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Orlando, Florida, concluded the PGA Champions Tour season with a thrilling family-team scramble event. Team Kuchar, consisting of 2016 Ryder Cup winner Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron, secured a dominant victory with a total of 33-under-par over two rounds.

The Dalys impressed with back-to-back 59s, each including nine birdies and two eagles. Team Love, composed of 1997 PGA Champion Davis Love III and his son Dru, opened with a 60 and followed up with a flawless 14-birdie round on Sunday.

The Kordas posted rounds of 60 and 59, showcasing Nelly’s elite skills in the unique team format.
