Langers Edge Woods, Win PNC Championship in Playoff Thriller for 6th Title
Bernhard and Jason Langer clinched their sixth PNC Championship victory after defeating Team Woods in a dramatic playoff finish. The tournament featured historic moments, including Charlie Woods' first career hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole.
Both teams finished regulation play at a record-setting 28-under par, with Team Woods shooting rounds of 59-57 and Team Langer matching their score. The playoff was decided on the first extra hole when Bernhard Langer sank an eagle putt for the win.
The final round was particularly notable for featuring two holes-in-one - Charlie Woods on the 4th hole and Paddy Harrington on the 8th hole - marking only the second and third aces in the tournament's 27-year history.
Tiger Woods made his competitive return after missing the cut at the Open Championship and undergoing his sixth back surgery in September. Notably, he chose to walk the course without a cart for the first time since his 2021 car crash.
The event was a family affair for both teams. Tiger's daughter Sam Woods served as his caddie for the second consecutive year, while Team Langer's victory was supported by Stefan Langer, who caddied for his brother Jason. This marks Team Langer's record sixth PNC Championship title, with Jason winning four times and Stefan twice.
The tournament showcased remarkable shot-making and competitiveness, with both teams matching birdies nine times throughout the final round. Despite Team Woods' strong performance, including Charlie's historic ace, Team Langer's consistency and clutch putting ultimately secured their victory in this prestigious parent-child championship.
