But two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, who were in the three-way tie for the lead to start the day, posted the same score.
At the first playoff hole, Bernhard Langer curled in an eagle putt to seal the duo’s second straight victory in the 20-team event.
Langer has now won six PNC titles — four with Jason and two with son Stefan.
Despite the tournament’s laid-back atmosphere, there were plenty of fireworks on Sunday.
Paddy Harrington, son of three-time major winner Padraig Harrington, also had a hole-in-one, saying his ace at the par-three eighth was the first of his life.
“I’ve never been as excited,” Padraig Harrington said. “I’ve never hit a shot that I’ve been as excited.”
The event was a chance for Tiger Woods, who turns 49 on December 30, to get a taste of some friendly competition for the first time since he missed the cut at the British Open at Royal Troon.
Woods, whose 82 US PGA Tour titles are tied with Sam Snead for most in history, has said he has a long way to go to be ready to return to elite tournament play after undergoing a sixth back surgery in September.
He also continues to deal with lower leg injuries suffered in a 2021 car crash, but was able to walk rather than use a cart for both rounds in Orlando, where the rules would have allowed it.
“I did a few things here and there,” Woods said, but added that for him the week “is all about family”.
“This is about bonding and it’s about having a great time, and we did that,” said Woods, whose daughter Sam caddied for him.
