This will be Team Woods' fifth appearance at the event. Their best finish came in 2021 when they were runners-up to Team Daly. Last year, they finished tied for fifth place at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando.
"I'm very excited to head back to the PNC Championship next week with Charlie," Woods said. "Playing together is something we look forward to and it's always more special when you're surrounded by friends and family."
The tournament will feature other notable players including defending champions Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, along with Nelly Korda, Gary Player, and Annika Sorenstam.
The return comes after Woods skipped the Hero World Challenge in The Bahamas, where he made an appearance in the NBC broadcast booth but remained uncertain about his comeback timeline. His participation in the PNC Championship signals progress in his recovery from the September back surgery that addressed spasms.
