Golf’s silly season comes to a close on Sunday as the annual family hit-and-giggle in Orlando wraps play.
The 2023 PNC Championship, an unofficial event that features major champions and winners of the Players Championship paired with a family member for 36 holes, could see history made on Sunday. Leaders Matt Kuchar and his son, Cameron, are looking for their first win and sit three shots clear of four teams tied for second. One of those teams are the defending champions, Vijay and Qass Singh. Another is Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason, who is looking to tie Raymond Floyd for the most wins all-time in the event with five.
From history on the line to the star power of Tiger and Charlie Woods, here are live updates and highlights from the final round of the 2023 PNC Championship.
Dan Hicks will handle the play-by-play duties alongside analyst Peter Jacobsen. Steve Sands will be on the holes coverage with John Wood and Notah Begay III serving as the on-course reporters. Cara Banks will also be reporting on-site. All times Eastern.

The Cat is rocking his Sunday red for the final round, but Charlie decided not to match the old man today. Tiger and Charlie enter the day seven shots back at 8 under and tee off alongside Steve and Izzi Stricker at 10:51 a.m. ET.
From walking in putts and waving goodbye to drives to a third member of the family as a caddie, here were the best scenes from Tiger, Charlie and Sam’s first round.

David Duval and Brady Duval were three shots back and T-2 entering Sunday’s final round but made a quick, early move up the leaderboard to tie for first. Team Duval made birdie on the first hole and eagle on the par-5 third hole to tie Team Kuchar at 15 under.
Cameron Kuchar is Little Kuch in name and name only. The lengthy 16-year-old is far from small and can really move the golf ball, especially off the tee. Check out the swing in slow motion and try not to be jealous.

After a ho-hum start from the Woods trio over the first few holes, Tiger and Charlie turned up the heat with a birdie on the first par 5 on No. 3 and an eagle on the next par 5 two holes later at No. 5. Charlie walking it in with the early putter raise makes it even better.

Bernhard Langer and his son Jason took their first steps towards a record-tying fifth win early on Sunday with birdies on their first four holes, quickly erasing a three-shot deficit to start the day. The winds are starting to pick up in Orlando and could make for a more challenging round compared to Saturday.
There’s a new team at the top 👀

Another day, another green driven by Charlie Woods. Sure, he’s playing from some forward tees, but this thing was still absolutely launched.

There are quite a few circles on the scorecard for Team Langer. Bernhard and Jason have now birdied their opening seven holes and carry a two-shot lead at 19 under. Jason is rolling a hot putter, even a leaf blowing into his ball on the green can’t stop him from making birdies.
Everything is going right for the Langers 😆
