‘Woods' son’ Charlie "Less pressure on the course"... Same red tee as last year

Charlie Family Event PNC Championship Third from Back Tee Box Tee Shot
Same Teeing Ground as Male Pros Aged 65-72 and Female Pros Over 50

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods' son Charlie has less distance burden.

The PNC Championship Committee announced on the 15th (local time), two days before the tournament opening, that "Charlie will use the red tee as he did last year." The red tee is the tee box used by male professionals aged 65-72, female professionals aged 50 and over, and juniors aged 12-13. Initially, the committee planned for Charlie to play from the white tee, which is farther than the red tee, but ultimately decided to use the same teeing ground as last year.

The PNC Championship allows players who have won major tournaments to participate with partners such as their sons, daughters, fathers, or fathers-in-law. Since men and women of all ages are mixed, they do not all use the same tee box. The teeing ground varies according to age and gender.

The white tee is for PGA Tour professionals aged 55-64, LPGA Tour professionals, and juniors aged 14 and older. If Charlie played from the white tee, he would have to compete on the same course length as John Daly (USA) and Nelly Korda (USA), who is ranked second in women's golf worldwide. The white tee course length is 6,754 yards, but the red tee is 6,452 yards, which is 302 yards shorter.
