PNC Championship Betting Picks, Predictions And Odds
The PNC Championship sees 20 pairings head to Florida for one of the feel-good events of the season, with some big names featuring at the tournament
The PNC Championship is the final tournament of 2024 and, with the likes of Tiger Woods, Nelly Korda and Annika Sorestam teeing it up in Orlando, it's set to be yet another feel-good watch.
First played in 1995, there are 20 pairs competing for the title and they are made up of a variety of family pairings. For example, Woods is playing alongside his son, Charlie, whilst Korda is featuring alongside her father Petr.
To qualify for the tournament, which is run by the PGA Tour Champions, players must have either won a Major tournament or a Players Championship. Therefore, the field is littered with quality, as well as multiple Hall of Famers, such as Gary Player and Lee Trevino.
Last year, it was Bernhard Langer and son, Jason, who picked up the title, with the victory an historic fifth for Langer, who has won the trophy with both Jason and his other son, Stefan.
So, who will be adding their names to the Roll of Honor on Sunday? Well, four of the Golf Monthly team have scoured the field and picked one pairing that we each believe could win the PNC Championship.
PNC Championship: The Course
Ritz-Carlton Golf Club -Grande Lakes was designed by Greg Norman and features tough, undulating greens, wide and generous fairways, as well as multiple hazards off the tee.
Being a pairs event, there will be four tees in place and these will be Gold, White, Red and Blue. You may wonder, how are these determined? Well, each player is assigned one of the colors, depending on age and ability.

The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club - Grande Lakes has a number of rare natural elements and, because of the scramble format and wide fairways, we can expect scoring to be low. What's also worth noting is that the wind can be a factor, last year it reached a near 30mph.

PNC Championship Betting Picks
Winners - Team Korda
This is an almost-impossible event to pick the winner in due to the scramble format and the four different sets of tee boxes used, meaning that most of the teams have a good shot at victory.
It’s difficult to look past the Langers but I’ll go for the Kordas to be our 2024 champions. They were a disappointing T13th last year but came T5th in 2022 so they’ve proven they can contend. Nelly has won seven times this year to secure her place at the top of the women’s game, and it would be great to see her become the first female winner of the PNC Championship. Let’s hope that Petr can get some putts to drop.
Winners - Team Duval
David Duval's record in this event is extremely solid, with the American once again featuring alongside his son, Brady. Obviously, this event happens once a year so, for my pick, I've based it on previous results and, looking back at 2023, the father-son duo finished runners-up and have also registered a few top 5 finishes. What's more, it's not just David who is an excellent golfer, but Brady reportedly equalled the Bishops Gate course record of 61 back in March of this year.
Winners - Team Woods
2024 will be the year Team Woods finally breaks its PNC duck, I'm sure of it. I would have been concerned about the state of Tiger's back given his latest back surgery in September, but one clip of him blasting a golf ball into a giant screen has convinced me he'll be able to manage for two days. Plus, given Charlie's steady improvement and incredible hitting power, these two will undoubtedly be a real force in the scramble format.
Winners - Team Singh
Of the teams at the top of the odds board, Vijay and Qass Singh look like the most appealing choice at a reasonable price. Their record in this event reads 3rd, 5th, 1st and 3rd in the last four editions, and after shooting a pair of 59s to take the title in 2022 it's clear that they have the ability to go low. 61-year-old Vijay Singh is still showing his class and quality on the PGA Tour Champions, with seven top-10s in 22 starts this season. The Fijian has also secured six top-11 finishes in his last seven events, so is arriving at this tournament in plenty of form.
