Tiger Woods fired a 1-over par 72 during the opening round of the PGA Championship
Tiger Woods figures it took him three holes to get back into the “competitive flow' of tournament golf on Thursday at Valhalla. It may take more than familiar vibes for Woods to stick around for the weekend at the PGA Championship. Like birdies. Maybe a bunch of them. The 48-year-old plodded his way to a 1-over 72 during the first round, well off Xander Schauffele's early record-setting pace and Woods' 10th straight round of even-par or worse at a major dating back to the 2022 PGA.
Still, it took time for the adrenaline that used to come to him so easily at golf's biggest events to arrive. The 15-time major winner hadn’t teed it up when it counted since the Masters a month ago, where he posted his highest score as a pro. He’s spent the last few weeks preparing for the PGA by tooling around in Florida. It took less toll on him physically, sure, but he knows it perhaps wasn't the most effective way to get ready for long but gettable Valhalla.
