PNC is proud to partner with the Ladies Professional Golf Association to celebrate family and recognize players for their achievements. The year-long campaigns featuring #PNCCelebrateFamily and #PNCAchiever will also include a series of events bringing female leaders and influencers together with LPGA leadership. PNC and the LPGA share common values that reflect a deep appreciation for family and a continuous pursuit of personal accomplishment.
Whether they are mothers swinging the clubs on the LPGA Tour or moms supporting their daughters while they compete around the world, mothers possess a special understanding of how to balance work and life, laughter and tears, or triumph and disappointment.
For the moms playing the game, they sometimes find themselves walking between holes and wondering what their children are doing, or looking down fairways and seeing sweet faces admiringly watching their mom compete. Just seeing the smiling face of their child at the end of the round quickly puts a late bogey in the rear-view mirror.
For those moms watching their child compete, there is a bond between player and parent that no spectator rope can ever separate. After all, those moms were there when their child first began tinkering with the game, when their skills advanced them into higher competition as amateurs and later, as pros, and when their hard work and sacrifice catapulted them to a level shared by the world’s best players.
Even on the road, moms do all the usual things that mothers do. They think about nutrition and prepare food with love. They wrestle with travel, sleep, laundry and making things just right for their family.
But most of all, moms just love. Birdies and bogeys are only a part of the day and thought of those golf scores simply disappear when it’s family time.
From members of the LPGA to moms around the world, Happy Mother’s Day!
