When it comes to feel-good tournaments, you will be hard-pressed to find one better than the PNC Championship.
Comprised of 20 family pairings, it is a time for competitors to relax on the course in the run-up to Christmas and, with the likes of Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda teeing it up, it's set to be another exciting watch.
Team Woods will be making a fifth appearance in the tournament
The only way to qualify for this tournament is by winning a Major or Players Championship and, with a $1,085,000 prize purse up for grabs, which is the same as last year, there's a chance for one pairing to take home a $200,000 first prize paycheck.
However, this is one tournament where money is not the factor, as the PNC Championship has drawn up some incredible moments over the past years, with it being a great event to create plenty of family memories for years to come.
Taking place over two days (21st - 22nd December), the format is a Scramble and, for 2024, defending champions Bernhard and Jason Langer return, with Bernhard looking to secure a record sixth PNC Championship belt.
The tee times have already been released, with Team Langer getting underway at 10:57am ET alongside another former winning pair at this event, Vijay and Qass Singh.
In front of them is the main attraction of Tiger and Charlie Woods, who begin their venture for a first PNC title alongside Justin and Luke Leonard.
You can take a look at the full first round tee times here and, below, we have listed the full prize money breakdown for you to check out.
