Bubba Watson picks PNC Championship over the NFL, dubs it ‘good for golf’

Bubba Watson is one of the most well-known golfers in the world. The left-handed golfer praised the recently concluded PNC Championship and said he chose to watch it over the NFL.

Watson wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

"You know the @PNCchampionship is good for golf when I am watching it over the football games. Fun watching the excitement on the families faces!!"

The NFL is arguably the most popular sporting league in the United States. However, Watson said he preferred watching the PNC Championship over football as Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods were in contention to win the tournament.

Bubba Watson has competed in the PNC Championship twice with his father-in-law, Wayne Bell. He made his debut at the PNC Championship in 2020 and finished 18th, followed by T13 in 2021. Watson joined LIV Golf in 2022 and hasn't competed in the PNC Championship since.

The PNC Championship is a one-of-a-kind exhibition golf tournament in which some of the world's most famous golfers team up with their family members for a 36-hole event at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. The tournament was first started in 1995, with Raymond Floyd and Robert Floyd winning it five times.
