Team Kuchar wins PNC Championship, Langer duo finishes T7

Bernhard Langer and his son Jason performed 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-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 claimed a share of second place.

Team Kuchar, consisting of 2016 Ryder Cup winner Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron, delivered a dominant performance. On Saturday, they carded 15 birdies for a flawless round of 57. They followed up with 14 birdies and two eagles on Sunday, finishing at an impressive 33-under-par to secure the 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 consecutive rounds of 59, each featuring nine birdies and two eagles. Davis Love III, the 1997 PGA Champion, teamed up with his son Dru to post rounds of 60 and 58, highlighted by a total of 24 birdies and one eagle.

Nelly Korda shines in family format

Former Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker and his daughter Izzi tied for fourth place at 25-under-par, alongside Team Korda. LPGA star and Olympic gold medalist Nelly Korda was the only active female pro in the field, partnering with her father Petr. The Kordas opened with a 60 and improved to a 59 on Sunday.
