The last chance to watch PGA Tour-sanctioned golf was this weekend at the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida, where major champions teed it up alongside family members.

Tiger Woods and son Charlie were the marquee team, shooting an 11-under 61 to finish -19 for the tournament, good for a tied in fifth place.

But on the leaderboard it was Bernhard Langer and son Jason prevailing with a two-shot victory after a Sunday 59 in the scramble format. It was their third PNC Championship win as a team and fifth win overall for Bernhard Langer, tying Ray Floyd for the most in event history.

Tiger Woods was able to use a cart at the PNC Championship, which he obviously won't be able to do at future PGA Tour events. He also had the joy of walking with daughter Sam as his caddy, and flashed a bit of the old Woods game as he worked his way back into playing shape.

Woods believes he'll be able to play roughly one tournament a month, potentially beginning in February with the Genesis Open and then rolling forward with The Players, the Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the Open Championship.

"I know if I can practice, I know I can still do it," Woods said. "I can still hit the golf ball. I can still chip. I can still putt. Granted, it's also putting it all together for 72 holes. That's the challenging part of it."
