Who Is the Better Playing Child Among All the Sons and Daughters at the 2023 PNC Championship?

It’s time to celebrate, family! The PNC Championship is slowly creeping up in the golfing world. And the field, consisting of parents and their children, would be looking to clinch the title of champion at the event. However, the question naturally arises: who amongst the various teams has a better chance to emerge victorious?

And, to find that answer, the members of the groups need to work together to win the title. However, it would take a special child to clinch that victory in a field filled with professional parents. And exactly who would this member of the younger generation turn out to be that can compete in such a situation?

The younger generation’s top golfer at the PNC Championship

As the twenty teams gear up to display their skills, many are looking forward to the result that can crown the better family on the course. But, not everything is as it seems since there is a special player on the younger generation’s list, which includes the likes of Charlie Woods and Izzi Stricker, among others, who can outperform their peers in the department—none other than Nelly Korda!

The LPGA Tour pro is competing at the event with her father, Petr Korda. And, as a result, this makes her the only professional golfer other than Justin Thomas, who is pairing up with his father, Mike Thomas, to be a part of the’sons and daughters’ category. However, this naturally crowns her as the best on the said list.

Despite the PGA Tour pro boasting amazing skills, he is currently in the 26th position on the Official World Golf Rankings. However, Korda is placed at No. 5 on the Rolex Rankings. What’s more, although both the LPGA Tour and the PGA Tour are different circuits, the male golfer only has a total of five top-10 finishes in 2023, whereas the 25-year-old Covergirl has ten, undoubtedly experiencing a better year.

However, the two golfers alone won’t be enough for the win. The two, along with their family members, would need to finish ahead of the other teams, who themselves boast an amazing line-up.

A tough tournament for Team Korda

There are a lot of other groups, including the likes of Team Steve Stricker and Team Tiger Woods, among others, that can pose a danger to the squads involving the professional younger generation. Moreover, the ability of the amateur youngsters, coupled with the skill of their parents, is truly a hard wall to overcome.
