What Is The Record Winning Score At The PNC Championship?
After its first event back in 1995, there have been some incredible scores at the PNC Championship, but who holds the record for the highest winning result?

The PNC Championship is an annual event that draws some of the biggest names in golf together for a feel-good family event.
Throughout its history, with the first tournament being played back in 1995, there have been some incredibly high scores but, during that time, who holds the record?
Well, the short answer is that in 2024, both Tiger and Charlie Woods and Bernhard and Jason Langer fired 28-under tournament totals to over take John and John Daly II's record of 27-under-par.
After producing 13-under-par 59s on Saturday, the father-son pairs then carded 15-under-par 57s on Sunday in an epic tussle that resulted in a playoff. In that playoff, Bernhard holed the crucial eagle putt to claim an historic sixth victory at the PNC Championship.
Famously, in the event, Tiger's son Charlie produced his very first hole-in-one at the par 3 fourth, with the 15-year-old firing a 7-iron from 175 yards that found the centre of the cup.

In terms of who has the lowest round score at the tournament, it's Davis and Dru Love who hold that accolade, as the father-son duo fired a stunning 16-under-par final round of 56 back in 2018, the year they won the title.
Carding a nine-under-par front nine of 27, the duo then went on to birdie a few holes before an eagle at the 14th proved to be the pivotal moment. From there, birdies at the 15th, 17th and 18th gave them a seven-under back nine and 16-under round total.
