The climax reached its peak in the community as the PNC Championship crowned the best parent-child golfing duo in 2023. Although most of the eyes were on Tiger Woods initially owing to his comeback at the previous event, the other field of golfers managed to steal the spotlight in their own different, yet unique way.
The special event saw an even special pair of Bernhard Langer and his son clinching the victory. However, if you think it ends there, you’re wrong. As the hype of the event, which ended not too long ago, remains in the community, one can’t help but recount certain unforgettable moments that took place in the tournament.

1. Will McGee touched hearts when he said “It’s the best week of my year and life.” Despite finishing at T11, the mother-son duo of Annika Sorenstam and the young golfer didn’t forget to “enjoy this moment.” Moreover, the pair were on the verge of “happy tears” as they recounted the final day of the championship, in an interview, while expressing their happiness at playing together at the special event.

2. It was truly a family affair for the Woods’s household! As the PGA Tour pro got to tee it off on the greens in a team with his son, Charlie Woods, he didn’t forget to include his oldest child into the mix. And, Sam Alexis Woods made sure to enjoy every minute of her time with her family as the 16-year-old carried the bags for her father. Besides, it would have been a truly memorable moment since Charlie’s sibling last caddied for the golfer at the 2015 Masters with her brother.
3. Well, if you think the Woods’s story ends there, you’re wrong. The 15X major champ rarely showcases his funny side during a tournament. However, this time around, the legend was spotted throwing a chicken wing at his son while the latter was being interviewed by the younger McGee. While responding to the questions by Sorenstam’s son, the teenager was also spotted glancing back at his dad while laughing at the hilarious act. Makes one wonder who is the 14-year-old amongst the two, doesn’t it?

4. It appears that Langer and his son, Jason Langer opened their Christmas gifts early! Mentioning the 2023 PNC Championship would not be complete without the amazing win that the duo was able to clinch by scoring 25-under 119. Moreover, the 66-year-old was able to record his third victory at the event with Jason, while claiming his fifth overall, two of which came by teaming up with his older son, Stefan Langer.
5. A talented golfer in the making! What else can be used to denote Sorenstam’s son who holed an eagle putt during the PNC Championship? Moreover, the par-5 third hole on Saturday where he made the astonishing shot would remain in the young athlete’s memory for a long time. Well, his legend mother would have been undoubtedly proud since she was spotted embracing the aspiring golfer, all the while placing a kiss on his head in a heartwarming gesture.

6. Although the color red would stick with Tiger Woods when he plays any event on a Sunday, it would be doubtful as to whether the attire would sport the iconic Swoosh! Moreover, the rumors of his breakup with Nike have intensified owing to his choice of shoes on the greens at certain golf events, none other than FootJoy instead of his $184.99 billion partner’s products. Thus, the Sunday appearance of the golfer truly might be the last time we spot the legend and the Swoosh together on the course.

7. And, last but not least, there is Nelly Korda enjoying her very own idol moment with Izzi Stricker. Moreover, her father, Steve Stricker, even compared her to the LPGA Covergirl in an interview during the event. However, nothing would have topped the moment when the young athlete teeing it off against team Korda on the Friday round, all the while sporting a “numb” reaction to meeting her star golfer, who is a “good representation of our golf generation as a girl,” as per young Stricker.
