Bernhard Langer and son Jason played well at the PNC Championship but missed the podium as defending champions.

The 2025 PNC Championship, the season finale of the PGA Champions Tour, was held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Orlando, Florida. Played in a two-round scramble format, the family team event saw Team Kuchar emerge victorious ahead of Team Love and Team Daly. Among the field were Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, who finished T7, and fan favorite John Daly with his son John II, who tied for second.

On Saturday, they carded 15 birdies in a flawless round. On Sunday, they added 14 birdies and two eagles, finishing at 33-under-par to claim the title.
