John Daly and Son John Daly II Hold Off Tiger and Son to Win 2021 PNC Championship
John Daly and son John Daly II held off a challenge from Tiger and Charlie Woods to win the 2021 PNC Championship on Sunday in Orlando.
Team Daly birdied the par-5 18th hole to finish two shots ahead of Team Woods and earn $200,000 from the total purse of $1,085,000. Their final score of -27 is the lowest in the history of the tournament. Both Team Daly and Team Woods shot 57 in the final round of the scramble event. Tiger and son earned $80,000 for their second-place finish.
Tiger and Charlie, 12, set a tournament record Sunday with 11 consecutive birdies but it wasn’t enough to overcome the long-hitting Dalys.
“We just had a blast all day … It got interesting and a little tight toward the end. It was a lot of fun,” Woods said. “I’m a little worn out and it was nice to have a cart.”
Daly II is a freshman on the University of Arkansas golf team. The game he showed this weekend at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club was much like his 55-year-old father’s when he was in his prime — long off the tee with an exceptional touch around the greens.
Defending champions Justin and Mike Thomas finished T3 with Stewart and Reagan Cink.
