Former world number one Tiger Woods will return to play alongside son Charlie at next week’s PNC Championship exhibition tournament in Orlando.

Earlier this month, Woods said he was not yet “tournament sharp” to play competitively as he continues to recover from back surgery in September.

The 15-time major-winner, who turns 49 this month, has not played since The Open in July where he failed to make the cut for the third consecutive major.

However, he and his son will make their fifth appearance at the annual 36-hole team event, which also allows players to use golf carts.

The father and son pair tied for fifth last year after finishing second in 2021.

The PNC Championship includes current and former professional golfers playing with a parent or child.

German legend Bernhard Langer and his son Jason will return to the Ritz-Carlton club to defend their title.

Fiji’s Vijay Singh and his son Qass, and American Nelly Korda and her father Petr are also among those involved in Florida.
