ORLANDO, Florida: Tiger Woods and 13-year-old son Charlie are returning to the PNC Championship with hopes of doing one better than last year.The 20-team field is for winners of majors or The Players Championship and a child or parent. This will be the third time Woods plays. A year ago, he and Charlie finished one shot behind John Daly and his son.The 36-hole event, televised by NBC, is December 17-18 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando.

'We have been looking forward to this week all year,' Woods said. 'This is such a special opportunity as a dad to get to compete with my son against so many golfing greats and their family members. It is going to be a very special week and I know that Charlie and I will have a blast.'Woods has not competed since he missed the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He is playing next week in his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, a 72-hole event against a 20-man field of the world's top players.He also has a made-for-TV exhibition on Dec. 10 with Rory McIlroy as his partner against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.That will be seven rounds in 18 days.Thomas and Spieth also will be at the PNC Championship with their fathers. Thomas and his father, longtime club professional Mike Thomas, won in 2020.Annika Sorenstam is playing again, this time with her son, Will. The PNC field also includes Nelly Korda and her father, Petr, a former Australian Open tennis champion.Meanwhile, veteran Australian golfer Adam Scott has reunited with Woods' former caddie Steve Williams, tempting the New Zealander out of retirement to help him win more majors.Williams was on the bag for Woods from 1999 to 2011, a partnership that yielded 13 major victories, before he switched to Scott and helped him claim the 2013 Masters.Now 42, Scott knows time is not on his side to fulfil his ambition of winning more big tournaments. To do so, he plans to spend 'way more time' in the United States next season.'I want to fulfil my dreams and goals as a player, and time is less and less on my side,' Scott said late Tuesday on the eve of the Australian PGA Championships in Brisbane.'I have to do everything I can to make sure I'm giving myself the best chance. I have all the tools. I'm still very healthy, I'm still moving the golf ball well and I have a lot of experience, and I'm just trying to put it all together.'That includes enticing Williams out of retirement to share the caddie duties with his current bagman Greg Hearmon.Williams called it quits in 2017 to spend more time with his family after a distinguished career that included a seven-year stint with former world number one Greg Norman, then a decade alongside Raymond Floyd, before partnering with Woods then Scott.Scott said it took little persuasion to get him back out on tour.
