Tiger Woods' return to golf: Tee times, TV coverage, live stream & more to watch 2021 PNC Championship

The moment the golf world has been waiting for is finally here: Tiger Woods makes his return to golf after his severe car crash in February.

Woods will be playing with his 12-year-old son Charlie Woods in the 2021 PNC Championship, which is also known as the father-son golf tournament. This event is known for famous golfers pairing with their sons or fathers — or even daughters — to compete against each other. It runs for two days over the course of 36 holes.

The last time Woods played a professional tournament was at last year's PNC Championship. The Woods father-son duo finished seventh, which is pretty good for Charlie's PGA debut. He's one of the youngest contestants at the event.

Two weeks ago, Woods hosted the Hero World Challenge and made his first public appearance since his car crash. Before the tournament, he posted a video on social media of him swinging a golf club. All these things made fans excited to see if Woods would make a return to golf. When speaking to the media, Woods said he doesn't think he will ever be on the PGA Tour as a full-time participant ever again, but he hopes to play here and there. He didn't give any hints of returning soon, though. So, when he announced that he would be playing in the PNC Championship, fans were shocked.

Woods will play in Friday's pro-am event as well, but Charlie will not participate in the pro-am. There's a Thursday pro-am, too, but Woods will be sitting out for that round. He will play with Charlie on Saturday and Sunday.

Here's everything you need to know to tune in to watch Woods' return to golf, including tv schedule, live stream options and tee times.

The PNC Championship is played with a "best ball" format. So, all players will tee off, and then the best drive is selected for their next shot. Then, all players will hit the second shot, and the best ball will be selected once again. So, each team will have one ball in play during the round.
