Return of popular tournament offers fans rare opportunity to see two of golf’s icons play together again
They are two of the greatest players golf has ever seen; their friendship and rivalry over the years has helped define the popularity of the game, and on Saturday, fans will have the chance to see Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus tee it up once more, as they are paired together for the first round of the PNC Father/Son Challenge at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes in Florida.
Palmer and Nicklaus will headline a star-studded field as 18 legends team up with their sons, daughters, and in one case, grandson, as the popular event returns after a four-year absence. David Duval also joins the field with his step-son, Nick Karavites, after Curtis Strange had to withdraw.
“I am delighted the Father/Son Challenge is back,” said Nicklaus, who is partnering with son Gary and thus reuniting the winning team from the 1999 Father/Son. “I always enjoy playing with my sons. It’s always very special when you have the opportunity to do anything with your children, and to be able to compete together in a game that has meant so much to me my entire life is a real treat but also a reflection of a uniquely special quality about golf. Gary is going to have to carry me, because since the last Father/Son, I have lost at least 50 yards. He’s going to have to hit it a long way, get me on the green, and maybe I can putt. But I am sure a lot of fathers will be saying that this weekend.”
“It’s also nice to be able to share the moment with my long-time friend Arnold. My guess is the needle that will be out on Saturday will be a lot longer than our tee shots. We have many cherished memories of the years we competed together, traveled together, the time our wives and families spent together, the laughs we shared, and the friendship we forged. For a couple of old guys, we’ll have a blast Saturday, me playing with my son Gary and Arnold with his grandson Will.”
Fans are able to purchase tickets, priced at $15 per day or $45 for a full week tournament pass, online by visiting www.pncfathersonchallenge.com, or by calling 407-876-7004.
“The PNC Father/Son Challenge is an event that has meant a lot to me over the years, and I know the other players feel the same way,” said Palmer. “It’s a great opportunity and we’re thankful to PNC for their role in bringing the event back. The chance to team up with our family members, to play in front of the fans, and for me personally to play with Jack again will make this event very special.”
To qualify for the PNC Father/Son Challenge, participants must have won either a major championship or Players Championship in their career. The professional’s partner must not currently hold a Tour card, and while the majority of partners in the history of the event have been the sons of the golf legends, the family-themed tournament is also open to other family members including a player’s daughter, grandson or step-children. The 18-team field competes in a scramble format over 36 holes for the $1 million prize purse and the Willie Park trophy, named after Willie Park, and his son Willie Park Jr., who combined to win the British Open five times.
Family-oriented event boasts 18-team field, including golf icons Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, that has combined for 492 professional wins on the PGA and European Tours, including 67 major championships
Many of the greatest legends in golf history, including Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, will team up with their sons, daughters, and in one case, grandson, later this year as the PNC Father/Son Challenge returns this Fall. The unique, family-oriented tournament, held for 14 years from 1995-2008, announced a star-studded field today as it prepares to celebrate its return December 13-16 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes in Florida.
The 18-team field, which also includes defending champion Larry Nelson paired with his son, Josh, is made up of players that have combined for 492 professional wins on the PGA and European Tours, including 67 major championships.

“On behalf of all of the partners who have made the return of this great event possible, as well as the players who were so excited to be able to participate in it again, we are thrilled to announce such an incredible field for this year’s PNC Father/Son Challenge,” said Alastair Johnston, vice chairman of IMG, co-founder and producer of the event with NBC Sports. “For 14 years, the Father/Son Challenge offered a truly unique, family-oriented format as well as an opportunity for these great players to share their love of the game with their sons, daughters and grandchildren. We look forward to celebrating that special bond, and competition, with golf fans in December as the event returns.”
“We are extremely proud of our heritage as co-founder and creator of the PNC Father/Son Challenge, one of golf’s most special events, and excited to have it back on the NBC schedule,” said Jon Miller, President, Programming, NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network. “Through the collective efforts of PNC Bank, Ritz Carlton and IMG, golf families nationwide can now share in the joy of this unique tournament.”
To qualify for the PNC Father/Son Challenge, participants must have won either a major championship or Players Championship in their career. The professional’s partner must not have held a Tour card at any point, and while the majority of partners in the history of the event have been the sons of the golf legends, the family-themed tournament has seen a daughter and grandson participate over the years. In one poignant exception in 2008, a close family friend also participated when Payne Stewart’s son, Aaron, teamed up with Paul Azinger, Stewart’s long-time friend. The 18- team field competes in a scramble format over 36 holes for the $1 Million prize purse and the Willie Park trophy, named after Willie Park, and his son Willie Park Jr., who combined to win the British Open five times.
“The PNC Father/Son Challenge truly reflects the values and focus on family and relationships that are so important to PNC as a company, and we look forward to celebrating the event’s return with our partners and golf enthusiasts everywhere,” said James E. Rohr, chairman and chief executive officer of the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., which was announced as new title sponsor of the PNC Father/Son Challenge in March. “The chance to see many of the best golfers in the history of the game will be special for everyone, but we are equally as excited about the opportunity to leave an important legacy by assisting Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.”
Fans are able to purchase tickets, priced at $15 per day or $45 for a full week tournament pass, online by visiting www.pncfathersonchallenge.com or by calling 407-876-7004.
PNC Father/Son Challenge Tournament Director Scott Wellington sits down with Matt Adams, the host of the Fairways of Life program on PGA TOUR Radio on SiriusXM, to discuss the upcoming tournament this December.
The Father/Son Challenge, a tournament that for 14 years saw many legends of golf team up with their sons in this unique, family- oriented championship event, will return this fall after a three-year hiatus thanks to a new title sponsor in PNC Bank.
The multi-year agreement was announced today by PNC Father/Son Challenge ambassador Arnold Palmer, and James E. Rohr, chairman and chief executive officer of the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The Ritz Carlton Golf Club at Grand Lakes Resort in Orlando, Florida will host the event’s return December 15-16 with a portion of proceeds from the event benefiting Arnold Palmer Hospitals for Children and the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies in Orlando. Palmer, Rohr and PNC have a long-term relationship that stems from their western Pennsylvania ties. The event will again be broadcast on NBC.
"The PNC Father/Son Challenge has always been an event that celebrates family as much as it does championship golf, and like my fellow pros, and fans of the game, I am thrilled and thankful to PNC Bank," said Palmer. "For many years we talked about how the Father/Son Challenge was one of our favorite events to play in all year, not only because it featured a field filled exclusively with major or Players Championship winners, but because it allowed us to share a moment in our career, and our passion for the game, with those that we love the most."
To qualify for the PNC Father/Son Challenge, participants must have won either a major championship or Players Championship in their career. The professional’s partner must not have held a Tour card at any point, and while the majority of partners in the history of the event have been the sons of the golf legends, the family-themed tournament has seen a daughter, grandson, and even close family friends participate over the years. The 18-team field competes in a scramble format over 36 holes for the $1 Million prize purse and the Willie Park trophy, named after Willie Park, and his son Willie Park Jr., who combined to win the British Open five times.
"PNC's support of the Father/Son Challenge reflects the values and focus on relationships that we share with Arnold and the partners who are bringing back this prestigious tournament," Rohr said. "As the nation’s fifth largest bank, this tournament is a perfect platform to raise the visibility of our brand and, at the same time, support golf among families along with a great cause in the Arnold Palmer Hospitals for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies."
The Father/Son Challenge was founded in 1995 by NBC Sports and IMG, the world’s leading sports, entertainment and media company, and since that time has been jointly owned by IMG and NBC Sports.
"We are pleased to have the Father/Son Challenge back on the schedule and we are grateful to PNC for undertaking this sponsorship," said Mike Stevens, Champions Tour President. "All of the players who are eligible for this event are excited about this unique opportunity and look forward to spending the weekend on the course with their sons, competing against some of the greatest players the game has witnessed."
"We are extremely proud of our heritage as co-founder of the Father/Son Challenge, one of golf’s most special events, and excited to have it back on the NBC schedule," said Jon Miller, president, Programming, NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network. "Through the collective efforts of PNC Bank, Ritz Carlton and IMG, golf families nationwide can now share in the joy of this unique tournament."
"We have firmly believed that the game of golf missed the Father/Son Challenge, and seeing its return has been a high priority for us as a company, but also for me personally," said Alastair Johnston, vice chairman of IMG. "It will always be known as the Father/Son Challenge, but in reality, it is a celebration of family and our shared love of the game. In the past we have seen Arnold Palmer play alongside his grandson, Sam, and Fuzzy Zoeller partnering with his daughter, Gretchen. In a very moving moment in 2008, Paul Azinger teamed up with Aaron Stewart, the son of the late golf legend Payne Stewart and Paul’s close friend. I think that highlighted perfectly what this tournament is all about. IMG is grateful to PNC, as well as NBC and the Ritz Carlton, for recognizing the importance of this special tournament and helping to make its return a reality."
"We are very pleased to welcome the PNC Father/Son Challenge to Grande Lakes Orlando," said Jim Burns, vice president and managing director of Grande Lakes Orlando. "This family-focused tournament solidifies our position as Orlando's premier luxury resort for families and we look forward to hosting the players during this prestigious event."

The prize for the PNC Father Son Challenge is the Willie Park Trophy, named in honor of the first winner of the British Open, the world's oldest golf championship.
The Willie Park Trophy is based upon the original championship prize of the Open in 1860, a red leather belt with sterling silver embellishments similar to the belts awarded in modern times to boxing champions. Park won the British Open four times (1860, 1863, 1866, and 1875) and his son, Willie Jr., won twice (1887 and 1889). The belt was the senior Park's prize for his first three championships but for none of his son's victories. Starting in 1972, the belt was replaced by the silver claret jug, which British Open champions have received ever since.
Garrard, The Crown Jewelers in England since 1843, created the Willie Park Trophy especially for the PNC Father Son Challenge.
On each hole, each player drives and the best drive is selected. Each player then plays a second shot from the spot where the selected drive lies, and the best second shot is selected. This process is repeated until the hole is completed.
Example: If both players teed off and Player 1's ball landed in the rough, while Player 2's ball landed in the fairway, Player 1 would pick up his ball and both players would play their second shots from Player 2's position in the fairway. Every shot is played in this manner unitl the hole is completed.
The PNC Father Son Challenge is very proud to support Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.
"PNC's support of the Father/Son Challenge reflects the values and focus on relationships that we share with Arnold and the partners who are bringing back this prestigious tournament," said James E. Rohr, chairman and chief executive officer of the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. "As the nation's fifth largest bank, this tournament is a perfect platform to raise the visibility of our brand and, at the same time, support golf among families along with a great cause in the Arnold Palmer Hospitals for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies."

The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club®, Orlando, Grande Lakes provides golfers with an experience not typically found in Florida. In designing The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes, two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman and his team put special emphasis on preserving the area's well-balanced ecosystem, thriving with ponds, wetlands, live oaks, and cypress heads. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful course enhanced by rare natural elements. Wide fairways, strategically placed hazards, generous landing areas, and subtly contoured greens provide a challenging but fair test of a golfer's abilities.
