The 2024 PNC Championship might not be as exciting as fans had hoped. We will see some great action from the defending champions, Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, who have confirmed their place for the 2024 edition. 2023 winners Vijay Singh and Qass Singh are also going to be on the course at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.

But the biggest battle that fans were hoping to see this year was between Team Daly and Team Woods. The matchup where veterans John Daly and Tiger Woods might pair up with their sons John Daly II and Charlie Woods.

Big John has not had a great year so far. He was going through a long patch of health troubles. Moreover, news of Tiger Woods’s injury has been in the headlines for the past few days.

But there has since been a development. John Daly shared a few stories on his Instagram showing him performing some legendary songs. One of his stories sees him singing ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ by Guns N’ Roses with the Davisson Brothers Band. It seems to be one of his favorite songs as he also performed it previously on stage a few months ago.

Another story shows him performing ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ by the late John Denver. He was pairing up with the same band during his performance as well. However, it turned into a duet as one of his friends joined him on stage for the main verse of the song in his next story.

Considering his depleting health conditions in the past few months, it was great to see Daly in such great shape. Watching John Daly razzling and dazzling on stage certainly would have pleased the fans. They would be even more pleased to learn that he has confirmed participation in the PNC Tournament 2024 along with his son, John Daly II.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case with Mr. T. There are no fresh reports about Tiger Woods‘s recovery so far. He is still under rehabilitation and it’s uncertain when he will be ready to take on the course again. This includes the 2024 PNC Championship in mid-December.

The potential contest between the two teams still hangs in the balance. However, the news about Woods’s possible unavailability is not the reason John Daly was in such high spirits. So why was the flashy golfer performing the classics on stage? Let’s find out.

What was John Daly celebrating?

John Daly and his friends were at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida. Long John was actually attending the event to celebrate the 30th birthday of his friend, Ryan Hager. The last story on Daly’s Instagram was posted a few hours ago with the text “Happy Birthday Hager! 👊🏻”

It’s great to see John Daly being himself; being the life of the party. But, we still await any news of Tiger Woods’s recovery and his eventual participation at the PNC Championship 2024 along with his son, Charlie Woods. There is no doubt that John Daly and John Daly II will also be eager to get any updates regarding their rivals at the event.

The 2024 PNC Championship begins on December 19, 2024. The tournament will be broadcast on the Golf Channel, Peacock, and NBC Broadcast.
