With just a day left for the PNC Championship, the tournament confirmed the status of some of its biggest participants.

While Tiger Woods and his son won't return to redeem their playoff defeat from last year, there are plenty of big names that will keep you entertained.

It was all revealed through an Instagram post by the PNC Championship and the Golf Channel. Among the most prominent names confirmed for 2025 is Nelly Korda, who will compete alongside her father, Petr Korda. As one of the most dominant players of the current era, Korda is expected to bring a competitive edge to the field. It’s worth noting that Petr Korda is a former Grand Slam Cup winner. 

John Daly will once again tee it up with his son, John Daly II, continuing a partnership that has become a fixture of the tournament. Daly’s enduring popularity and distinctive career have made his appearances at the PNC among the most closely followed, while his son’s steady development has added competitive intrigue beyond the entertainment factor.
