They say when you turn your passion into your profession, you don?t have to work a day. Well, that has been my story. Grew up as a pro wrestling fan during WWE?s famed Attitude Era. It took the epic Ladder Match between Hardy Boyz, Edge &amp; Christian and The Dudley Boyz to convert me to a wrestling fan for life time and here we are. I would have bitten your hand off if you would?ve told me back then that I will covering my favorite form of sports entertainment for a living.

EssentiallySports was the beginning of this journey as a writer and I had a shining moment of personal and professional glory when The Bloodline?s Wise Man, Paul Heyman shared my article on his Instagram story. Since then I have taken up the role of an editor at ES for WWE division and continue to provide coverage of WWE?s biggest events as well as marquee PPVs from AEW. I?ve had the chance to cover events such as WrestleMania 39, SummerSlam, AEW?s All In and much more. Pro wrestling is on my mind 24x7 and when I have time away from work, I like to get into fantasy fiction reading and war documentaries online.

The PNC Championship, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pnc-championship-how-to-watch-tickets-info-tv-schedule-and-more/] previously known as the Father/Son Challenge, offers a unique golf experience. It features 20 major champions and their family members playing together in a two-person scramble format. The event has seen some of the most iconic names in golf history, such as John Daly [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-daly/], Annika Sorenstam, and Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/], team up with their parents or children [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-with-only-weeks-left-for-pnc-championship-tiger-woods-old-school-yet-valuable-advice-to-son-charlie-sees-light-pga-tour/]to compete for the Willie Park Trophy. To participate in this event all professional players must have won a Major tournament to be eligible for the event. But, the question is, is the PNC Championship a PGA Tour event? However, the answer is not as simple as it may be. Let’s take a closer look to understand! IS THE PNC CHAMPIONSHIP A PGA TOUR EVENT? In professional golf, the PGA TOUR stands as a prestigious tournament organization. And, being a part of this is one of the greatest achievements for golfers. However, it is not an easy feat, it’s like climbing a ladder where players move up or down based on their performance in sanctioned events. The PNC Championship is not an official PGA Tour event, meaning that it does not count towards the PGA Tour’s season-long points race, the FedEx Cup, or the official money list. However, the PNC Championship is sanctioned by the PGA Tour Champions, which is run by PGA America. This means that the PNC Championship follows the PGA Tour Champions’ rules and regulations, and the participants are mostly PGA Tour Champions members who have won a major championship or the Players Championship on the PGA Tour. The tournament is also broadcast by NBC Sports, which is one of the PGA Tour’s media partners. Despite not being a PGA Tour the tournament attracts a lot of attention from fans and media. Especially when it features some of the famous players of the PGA Tour, such as Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nelly-korda/], playing with their fathers or siblings. The PNC Championship also benefits from the PGA Tour’s marketing and promotion and is often featured on the PGA Tour’s website and social media platforms.

The event is not just a golf tournament, it is a family affair.

Is PNC Championship a PGA Tour event? Everything you need to know about the Father-son tournament.

I, M?harjabin Ara, joined EssentiallySports as a golf writer because of my
intense passion for the game and keen understanding of all of its facets.
Growing up watching legends like Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam ignited my
fascination with golf, and that spark has ignited my writing journey. With a
knack for translating the intricacies of golf into engaging narratives, I intend
to bring viewers closer to the action with my vivid storytelling. When the sun
sets on my day job, I often sit down with Rumi's book in my hand and, nestled in
a cozy corner of my house, dissolve into my own imaginary world. Golf, reading,
and writing?for me, it doesn't get much better than that!

<h2><b>John Daly 2023: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">John Daly, popularly called, ‘Long John’, is an American Golfer who is best known for the driving stance that he takes off the tee. He is as renowned off the field as he is on the field. His electric clothing and his unconventional and quirky demeanor are utterly a media-favourite.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His 1991 PGA Championship win is the most memorable victory of his career. It was this feat from where he first attained recognition. His performance in the 1995 Open Championship, wherein he secured a win over Costantino Rocca, earned him the title of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">“Dark Horse.” </span></i>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2006, his performance witnessed a steep decline, and his commercial and sponsorship fame overshadowed his golfing career. His non-golf earnings slowly overtook his earnings from the game. Daly is the only golfer across US and Europe to have won two major golf tournaments without competing in the Ryder Cup.</span>

Mandatory Credit: Matt Pendleton-USA TODAY Sports/Reuters[/caption]
<h2><b>John Daly: Early life, Family, Education</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daly was born to Jim and Lou Daly on April 28, 1966, in Carmichael, California. The family moved to Arkansas in 1970. His father worked as an engineer at various nuclear power plants, and frequently traveled for work. The golf veteran has an elder sister and a brother.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">It was in Arkansas when a four-year-old John first found golf after his father gave him two cut-off golf clubs. Daly lived near the 'Bay Ridge Boat and Golf Club', a nine-hole golf course, in Arkansas. It was on this very course that John Daly laid the foundation of his rather prolific career. </span>

[caption id="attachment_1221383" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1221383 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1471086.jpg" alt="John Daly" width="1920" height="1284" /> FARMINGDALE, NY, - JUNE 12: John Daly plays the guitar in his motorhome prior to the start of the U.S. Open on June 12, 2002 in Farmingdale, New York. (Photo By Jamie Squire/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">John's childhood idol was Jack Nicklaus, and he worked rather hard to follow in his footsteps. For him, the biggest challenge was hitting perfect shots in every swing, and so birthed his unconventional and legendary backswing. His mantra of 'grip it and rip it' gained immense popularity and was a game-changer for his career.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1978, the Dalys moved to Locust Grove in Virginia. He continued his practice at 'Lake of the Wood Country Club'.  All of twelve, he could drive the ball farther than most adult men. He would procure his golf balls from water hazards. Within a year's time at the club, he entered and won the men's championship, which propelled a rule shift in the club and introduced a minimum age criterion in the competition. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Dalys again relocated to  Zachary, Louisiana, when John was in the ninth grade. It was in his high school years that John developed an additional interest in baseball and football. During his junior year in 1983, they again changed homes and settled in Jefferson City, Missouri.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Though his interest in baseball dissolved quickly, John was a punter and place-kicker for Helias High School, which won the Missouri state football championship in 1983. He still has a few Helias kicking records under his belt. John won the Missouri State Amateur Championship and led the Helias golf team to the state championship in 1983.</span>
<h2><b>John Daly: Personal Life and Health</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1987, Daly married Dale Crafton. In 1990, they divorced. He remarried Bettye Fulford in 1992. The two had a daughter together named Shynah Hale. Daly married Paulette Dean in 1995, shortly after his divorce from Fulford was finalized. His second child, Sierra Lynn was born on June 1, 1995. In 1999, the couple got divorced. He married Sherrie Miller on July 29, 2001. In 2003, John Patrick Daly II, their son, was born.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In September 2020, John Daly revealed that he had been diagnosed with Bladder Cancer. He found out about cancer during a routine visit to his urologist. He had complaints of kidney stones and back pain when he was told about this. He has struggled with numerous health issues over the course of his life - alcoholism and obesity being the mainstay of this battle.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The clothing line, Loudmouth Golf, has an ongoing deal with Daly. Additionally, Daly previously owned John Daly Wines, which has now ceased to exist. His golf designing company, 'JD Designs' is flourishing, and has received contracts across the world. Daly was also a part of 'Prostroke Golf', a video game.</span>

Just like any other younger sibling, Nelly Korda followed her elder sister around. Jessica Korda started taking golf lessons at the age of seven and that's when Nelly Korda also got her first taste of the sport around the tender age of two and started to swing her little plastic clubs alongside her sister. Not long after, at the age of 6, Korda took up golf more seriously and started taking lessons three to four times a week. Nonetheless, their younger brother, Sebastian Korda, followed the path of their parents.

The 22-year-old Sebastian is a tennis player who won the Junior Boys 2018 Australian Open. While the sisters represent the Korda surname in the 18-hole sport, their younger brother takes care of their reputation on the tennis court.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Kordaâ€™s boyfriend</b></h2>
The family is further expanding to other sports too, thanks to Nelly's boyfriend. Andreas Athanasiou, who currently plays for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL, has been dating Nelly Korda since 2019. While Korda represents the United States flag, her beau plays for the Canadian team internationally.

Athanasiou was drafted 110th overall in the 2012 NHL draft by the Detroit Red Wings. After playing for the Wings for five seasons, Andreas also played for the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings before finally being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2022â€“23 season.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Kordaâ€™s net worth 2024Â </b></h2>
Since her debut on the LPGA Tour, Nelly Korda has not only amassed many accolades but has also seen an exponential rise in her net worth with each passing year. She was placed in the 22nd position as 2022's highest-paid female athlete. And was also listed on the 30-under-30 list by Forbes.

The nine-time LPGA Tour winner once again made it to Forbes 2023 highest-paid female athlete list and took the 11th spot along with U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe on the list with a net worth of 8.2 million, with $1.7 million earned on-field and $6.5 million off-field. Meanwhile, Korda's career earnings on the LPGA stand at an exorbitant $9,223,989. With her name gaining more popularity, it is quite evident that Korda's earnings will also experience immense growth.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Kordaâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Korda started playing golf at a young age and competed in her first LPGA Tour event as a 14-year-old amateur. During her amateur days, Korda was a member of the 2015 Junior Solheim Cup team. The rising golf talent made the cut at the 2013 US Women's Open, just a week before her 15th birthday.</p>

Nelly turned professional in 2016 and played on the developmental Symetra Tour, where she won once and finished ninth on the money list to earn her LPGA Tour card for the 2017 season.

Since then, Korda has won multiple LPGA Tour events, including the 2021 Women's PGA Championship, and has risen to become one of the top players in the world. Aside from nine LPGA Tour victories, including one major win, Nelly Korda also etched her name in the history of golf as an <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/olympic-golf-hasnt-sunk-in-yet-nelly-korda-wins-usas-first-olympic-gold-in-womens-golf-since-1900-tokyo-olympics-2020-kasumigaseki-country-club/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olympic gold medalist after winning at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Kordaâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Being one of the most prominent names in the LPGA, it isnâ€™t a challenge for Nelly Korda to find some big checks. As she looks to further increase her earnings, she has brand deals with Cisco, Franklin Resources, Hanwha, Richard Mille, Titleist, and Whoop. For many years, Nelly sported J. Lindeberg apparel for her performance outfits.

Nonetheless, at the start of 2023, Korda announced her signing with Nike, making it the brand's biggest women's golf partnership. Prior to her deal with American Sportswear, Forbes announced Nelly Korda's endorsement earnings to be $6.5 million in 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Kordaâ€™s career stats</b></h2>
Currently, the 25-year-old is holding the number two spot on the Rolex Women's World Golf rankings. In the seven years of her golfing career, Korda has found herself with 56 career Top 10 finishes. In 2023, the Bradenton resident made 16 cuts among the 18 events she played and also had nine top-10 finishes, despite that Korda <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-despite-a-winless-season-how-much-did-nelly-korda-earn-on-lpga-tour-in-twenty-twenty-three/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to have a single win during her 2023 campaign.</a>

Korda also has nine LPGA tour victories to her name, the latest coming at the 2024 addition of the Drive-On Championship, where the LPGA cover girl defeated Lydia <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lydia-ko/">Ko</a>. The win put an end to her long winless streak, as her last LPGA win came at the 2022 Pelican Women's Championship.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Kordaâ€™s records</b></h2>

She successfully defended her title a year later in Taiwan and also won the 2019 ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open and the Ladies Lacoste Open de France.

While she claimed three wins in 2019, it was barely even close to Nelly Korda's best season two years later. Nelly started the 2021 season with a win at the Gainbridge LPGA, which marked her first triumph in the American Soil. She continued her hot form later at the Meijer LPGA Classic in June with a stunning -25 total score.

Nelly Korda

Who is Nelly Korda? When talking about women in the game of golf, Nelly Korda&#8217;s name definitely comes to people&#8217;s minds. A young golfer who has already made a mark in the world of golf through her impressive golfing skills on the course. Coming from a houseful of renowned athletes, it looks like the apple did not fall far from the tree, as the young golfer has further solidified the Korda name in the gentleman&#8217;s game after following her sister&#8217;s footsteps into the game of golf. LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA â€“ JANUARY 24: Nelly Korda looks on during the final round of the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions at Tranquilo Golf Course at the Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club on January 24, 2021 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images) Nelly Korda has collected many accolades throughout her career, including an Olympic medal. Korda has also raked in a lot of success and fortune off the course, through various deals, endorsements, and partnerships with sports giants like Nike, all thanks to her on-course magic. Nelly Kordaâ€™s early life and familyÂ  Nelly Korda was born on July 28, 1998, in Bradenton, Florida, to Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtova. While competing in professional golf, the LPGA&#8217;s cover girl represents her family&#8217;s rich background in the world of sports. Her father, Petr Korda, a former Czechoslovakian tennis player, won the 1996 Australian Open. Petr married his fellow countrywoman and tennis player, Regina Rajchrtova. While Nelly Korda is the middle child of her family, she has two siblings. Her elder sister, Jessica Korda, also happens to be a professional golfer on the LPGA. In fact, it was the influence of Jessica that led Nelly to become a golfer.Â  AUCHTERARDER, SCOTLAND â€“ SEPTEMBER 10: United States team players Jessica Korda and her sister Nelly Korda during the official photocall for the 2019 Solheim Cup to be held on the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles on September 10, 2019 in Auchterarder, Scotland.

<h2><b>Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-tiger-woods-parts-ways-with-nike-fractured-deal-becomes-a-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which came to an end after a 27-year partnership</a> that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023.

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-where-does-tiger-woods-live-inside-his-54-million-mega-mansion-with-two-private-docks-tiger-woods-house-jupiter-florida-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property</a>.

Woods also bought both his parents' houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl's names.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.

From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

Tigerâ€™s father, Earl, was his inspiration to play the sport and was also the one who taught him how to play the game. His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years.

In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he's now known as.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids</b></h2>
Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods's heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006.
