It’s that time of the year again when golfers bond with their family members on the greens. Well, we are not quite there yet, but the PNC Championship has started announcing the names for this year’s tournament. It’s a unique tournament on the PGA Tour calendar where golfers team up with their parents to compete against each other.

So far, heavyweights like Justin Thomas and John Daly have confirmed their participation with other teams yet to be confirmed. Nelly Korda has been a regular in the past two seasons. Is she also participating in the event?

Will Nelly Korda join John Daly and Justin Thomas?

Nelly Korda took a break after the Solheim Cup defeat to recuperate from the agonizing blow at the hands of Europe. However, after the break, she came back to the BMW PGA Championship and, most recently, to a sixth-place finish at the Maybanks LPGA Championship.

As the golfer has taken part in the unique tournament in the last two years, speculation was rife that she might tee off this year again. Unfortunately, so far, it’s not been clear if the nine-time LPGA Tour winner is going to play at the PNC Championship. So far, six defending champions have announced their names in the field, which doesn’t include anybody from the Korda family.

The PNC Championship is special for the former World No. 1 for more than one reason. It was at this tournament in 2021 that the 26-year-old golfer met her idol, Tiger Woods. The 26-year-old LPGA Pro asked for a photo, to which the 15x Major winner gladly agreed.

Although her name is missing in the initial field, there is still time for future announcements. So, fans can expect the Korda father-daughter duo to appear on the greens together once again. On that note, let’s take a look at the players who have confirmed their presence.

The confirmed lineup of the PNC Championship so far

So far, six previous champions have confirmed their participation in the tournament. Defending Champion Vijay Singh and his son, Qass Singh, will return to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando for their title defense. Four-time champion Bernhard Langer will also join the party.

Joining them is Team Thomas, consisting of 15-time PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas and his father, Mike Thomas. John Daly and his son John Daly II are also returning to the tournament, where the father-son duo won together in 2021, defeating Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods. Incidentally, Tiger Woods has yet to confirm his participation as well.
