The 2021 PNC Championship officially kicks off on Saturday, December 18, with the first round in Orlando, and Tiger Woods will be suited up and swinging away. Here’s what you need to know to watch Round 1 of the PNC on TV or online Saturday.
Previewing PNC Round 1
We have had to live through an entire year without seeing Tiger Woods play a competitive round of golf, all the while wondering whether it would ever happen again. But the wait is now over, and far earlier than many guessed. Tiger is playing the PNC Championship this week alongside his son Charlie, and the tournament gets underway on Saturday.
Tiger and Charlie will begin their first of two rounds on Saturday at 12:18 p.m. ET. They’ll play alongside friends and frequent playing partners Mike and Justin Thomas, just as they did for the Woods’ debut at the PNC in 2020. Fortunately for everyone, the opening round of the PNC will be televised on NBC and Golf Channel and streamed online via Peacock, giving golf fans plenty of opportunities to tune in to the action.
