Tiger Woods will return to action alongside son Charlie at the PNC Championship, the annual family team exhibition next week in Orlando, Florida.
It will be Woods' first competition since he underwent another back surgery in September, as he and his son make their fifth appearance at the event, which is 36 holes and allows players to use golf carts.
The father-son duo tied for fifth last year and placed second in 2021, but they've yet to win the event.
The 15-time major champion has been noncommittal about his playing future, saying last week before his foundation's tournament that "the fire still burns to compete" but his body doesn't recover from surgery the way it once did.
"I'm very excited to head back to the PNC Championship next week with Charlie. Playing together is something we look forward to and it's always more special when you're surrounded by friends and family," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
The PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Club features PGA and LPGA Tour stars past and present playing with a parent or child.
German legend Bernhard Langer and his son Jason Langer won last year's title. They will be back this year, as well as Fiji's Vijay and his son Qass Singh, Nelly and her father Petr Korda, Sweden's Annika Sorenstam with son Will McGee and John Daly and son John Daly II.
Padraig and Paddy Harrington and Nick and Matthew Faldo are also in the star-studded field.
