The 2024 PNC Championship will be played December 21-22 at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. Tiger Woods and his son Charley will be among the main attractions of the event and also among the favorites to win.
The major sports bookmakers do not consider Team Woods as the team with the best chances to win the PNC Championship title, but as one of the main contenders. According to BetMGM (cited by Golf Monthly), John Daly and his son John II are the main favorites to win the event (+350).
Tiger Woods and Charlie are fourth on BetMGM's list of favorites, although their odds (+500) are very close to the leaders. Team Cink and Team Kuchar are second and third, respectively:
- John Daly and his son John Daly II (+350)
- Stewart Cink and his son Connor Cink (+400)
- Matt Kuchar and his son Carson Kuchar (+400)

A look at past winners of the PNC Championship
The top four teams in BetMGM's options to win the PNC Championship list share the trait that all of their amateur players (John Daly II, Connor Cink, Carson Kuchar and Charlie Woods) have had careers in junior or college golf.
The same has been true for the past two years. In 2023, Bernhard Langer won with his son Jason, who played for the University of Pennsylvania until 2022, while a year before, Vijay Singh won with his son Qass, who actually pursued a career in professional golf, although more than 10 years ago.
