On the 17th (local time), at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club (par 72) in Orlando, Florida, USA, during the PGA Champions (Senior) Tour 'family event' PNC Championship, Charlie will use the second-to-last teeing ground as he has aged by one year. He will play from the same tee as defending champion John Daly (USA), Vijay Singh (Fiji), and Nelly Korda (USA).
The PNC Championship allows players with major tournament wins to participate with partners such as their sons, daughters, fathers, or fathers-in-law. Since men, women, and children all participate, they do not all use the same tee box. The teeing grounds vary according to age and gender.
There are four tee boxes used during the tournament. Males aged 16 to 54 play from the champion tee, which measures 7,126 yards. Active players like Woods and Justin Thomas (USA) also tee off from here. Males aged 14 to 15, males aged 55 to 73, and female professional players compete from the 6,576-yard tee. Those aged 11 to 13 play from 6,036 yards, and those over 73 play from 5,499 yards.

Before the tournament, Woods said, "Charlie will take all the shots, and I just have to putt out." However, Charlie, who used a tee box around 6,000 yards last year, now faces a course length over 500 yards longer this year due to aging by one year. A somewhat challenging game is expected.
