Big Jack & Little Jack, Big John & Little John, they are just two of the pairings for the PNC Father-Son Challenge, at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Dec. 10-11.
The event, which is restricted to major winners (and Players Championship winners) sees a field assembled that has won a total of 335 PGA Tour victories, including 64 majors. The pro's partner must not hold a PGA Tour card.
Nicklaus, 76, will be making his 15th start in the team event and will play alongside his son, Jack II. Daly, meanwhile, will be making his first tournament appearance at age 50 and will play alongside his son, Little John.
Last year's tournament was won by Lanny Wadkins and his son Tucker, who defeated Fred and Taylor Funk, Davis and Dru Love and Larry and Drew Nelson in a four/eight way play off.
The tournament, which will feature 36 holes of Texas Scramble, also boasts 13 World Golf Hall of Fame members. Included among that group are Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle, Ray Floyd and Lee Trevino.
