The internet has lost its damn mind over Bernhard and Jason Langer’s victory over Tiger and Charlie Woods in the PNC Championship on Sunday.

Ever since Team Woods has become a fixture in the parent-child event, it’s been under the microscope, in a good way. All eyes on golf in the middle of December, on the same weekend as the College Football Playoff and NFL Week 16, is a win for our sport.

But with that extra attention comes a flurry of the hottest of hot takes in regards to where Langer, who is 67 years old, was hitting from. There are four sets of tees in the two-person scramble event—a 7,106-yard, par-72 set for professionals 53 and younger, a 6,576-yard set for professionals 54 to 65 and LPGA members and family members 14-55, a 6,035-yard set for professionals 66-72, LPGA members 50 and older and 13-year-old juniors and family members 55-66, and, lastly, a 5,484-yard set for professionals older than age 73, juniors 12 and younger and family members 67 and older.

Langer, who just won the Charles Schwab Championship in November for his 47th PGA Tour Champions victory, teed it up from the 6,035-yard set, which makes sense given his age. But, as some pointed out, Langer still hits it a long way for an older guy, making the 1,100-yard advantage over Woods, who he was playing with, that much more noticeable. The internet wasn’t having it, which is to be expected when Woods is in contention for any sort of victory:

Bernhard playing a cute little 467-yard hole par 5 to finish lol what are we doing here?!

Haven’t seen anybody mention it on here but it was bullshit that Langer was basically teeing it up from the fairway.

Langer has won like 800 tournaments most of them in the last 10 years and they got him teeing off from the fairway in this thing wtf is this

This year on the Champions Tour Langer averaged 275.5 yards off-the-tee.

The tees you play should NOT be based on age.

You are 64 years and 11 months old?
You play from here.

You are 65 years and 1 month old?
You play from tees that are 700+ yards shorter.

Bad form. https://t.co/NAQPrPZGZp

No hate towards Langer…

But it’s actually insane that a current professional golfer and Champions Tour winner is playing tees in front of the amateurs.

Rules are rules, but c’mon man! https://t.co/sRg89jlME3

It’s a silly season event, but watching Langer play the forward tees and continue to get away with anchoring infuriates me at a level I can’t properly articulate. The guy has absolutely zero shame #pncchampionship

Bernhard Langer playing shorter tees than Charlie Woods. Bernhard Langer won the season finale tournament on the Champions Tour a month ago.

Bernhard Langer hits a 💣 from the ladies tees ✅

Langer tee’ing it up 80 yards in front of Charlie Woods is a little greasy.

If Team Langer had taken down Team Duval in a playoff, absolutely zero people would have batted an eye at this grave injustice. The fact it was Team Woods had folks dissecting every move Langer made like the Zapruder film. Take, for example, people pointing out that Langer placed his ball on a perfect little hill in a bunker so he could get a driver on it. This, of course, is 100 percent allowed in a scramble:

I know it’s scramble rules but we need to have conversation about Langer literally teeing up his ball in the bunker so he could hit driver! The zoom in camera did him no favors pic.twitter.com/ftV38bGhDE

This is a bad look to say the least. When I saw Langer hitting driver that close to the lip I was amazed. Now we see it was teed up on a nice little sandcastle. 🤢 https://t.co/9N5yAzixmD

Wild times. It’s nice to be arguing over the actual golf again, though, as opposed to purse sizes and field strength (or lackthereof) or TV ratings or mergers or any of the other distracting nonsense we’ve all argued over for the last few years. Of course, the “actual golf” in question here is a two-person silly-season scramble event that ultimately means nothing.
