The 2024 PNC Championship will be held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Course in Orlando, Florida from December 21 to 22. PGA Tour and LPGA Tour golfers will be paired with a family member including children or parents in 20 teams to play 36 holes.
The PNC Championship authorities have released the format of play (via Golfweek):
"On each hole, each player drives and the best drive is selected. Each player then plays a second shot from the spot where the selected drive lies, and the best second shot is selected. This process is repeated until the hole is completed.”
