Nelly Korda and her father Petr had a mixed performance at the PNC Championship. After two days of play, the duo tied for eighth, finishing eight strokes behind the leaders.
Following her historic 2024 season on the LPGA Tour, Nelly made her fourth PNC Championship appearance this week alongside her father, Petr.

On Day 2 in Orlando, Team Korda performed slightly better, shooting 11-under 61. Their round featured five straight birdies on the front nine and a total of eleven birdies on the day. However, this wasn't enough to close the gap, as Team Woods (Tiger and Charlie) and Team Langer (Bernhard and Jason) stepped up their game, shooting 16-under 57 and forcing a playoff.
In the playoff, Team Langer successfully defended their title after shooting an eagle, while Team Woods finished as runners-up for the second time after sinking a birdie.
