Bernhard Langer and his son Jason played well at the PNC Championship but missed the podium as defending champions.
The PNC Championship, held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Orlando, Florida, marked the season finale of the 2025 PGA Champions Tour. Played in a two-round 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 shared second place.
Team Kuchar, consisting of 2016 Ryder Cup winner and multiple Presidents Cup champion 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.
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 featuring nine birdies and two eagles. Davis Love III, the 1997 PGA Champion, and his son Dru started with a 60 and followed with a bogey-free 14-birdie round on Sunday to tie for second.
Nelly Korda shines in family format
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 champion and Olympic gold medalist Nelly Korda and her father Petr. The Kordas opened with a 60 and improved to a 59 on Sunday, showcasing Nelly’s LPGA Tour-caliber skills.
Bernhard Langer falls short of repeat win
Defending champion and two-time Masters winner Bernhard Langer, alongside his son Jason, couldn’t replicate last year’s success. They posted a bogey-free 61 on Saturday and improved to a 60 on Sunday, finishing at 23-under-par and tied for seventh place.
