Tiger Woods’ return to competitive golf was met with a sluggish start at the PGA Championship on Thursday. The 48-year-old golfer took three holes to get into the swing of things, but his rustiness was evident throughout the round. Woods finished the day with a 1-over 72, far off the pace set by leader Xander Schauffele.
Woods’ struggles were not due to his health or the challenging layout of the course, but rather his lack of competitive play in recent weeks. His drive was inconsistent, and he struggled to make birdie putts, missing several opportunities from within 20 feet. His touch also deserted him late in the round, resulting in two three-putts on the final two holes.
Despite his struggles, Woods remained optimistic, citing his improving strength and physical condition. However, he acknowledged that his inconsistent play is a result of his limited schedule, which is dictated by his fragile body. “Each day is different,” Woods said. “Some days are better than others. It’s just the way it is.”
Woods’ preparation for the PGA Championship was limited to practice sessions in Florida, which may not have been enough to get him ready for the demands of competitive golf. He started the day on the back nine and bogeyed the par-3 11th hole, but recovered with a birdie on the par-4 13th. However, his momentum was short-lived, and he struggled to make an impact on the leaderboard.
With rain expected on Friday, the course may become even more challenging, and Woods will need to improve his game significantly to make the cut. He has done it before, notably at the Masters, but another slow start on Friday could lead to an early exit from the tournament.
Woods’ struggles at the PGA Championship are a far cry from his dominant performances of the past. The 15-time major winner has been hampered by injuries and inconsistency in recent years, and his game has suffered as a result. Despite his efforts to regain his form, Woods has been unable to recapture the magic that made him a household name.
As he walked off the course on Thursday, Woods was met with a chorus of cheers and applause from the crowd. Despite his struggles, he remains one of the most beloved and respected figures in golf, and his fans are eager to see him return to form.
However, Woods’ chances of winning the PGA Championship appear slim at this point. He will need to significantly improve his game over the next two days if he hopes to make a run at the title. With a crowded leaderboard and a challenging course ahead, Woods will face an uphill battle in his quest for victory.
Despite the odds, Woods remains optimistic and determined. He has overcome adversity before, and he is confident that he can do so again. As he said after his round on Thursday, “I’ve been in this position before, and I’ve come out on top. I just need to focus and play my best golf.”
Only time will tell if Woods can turn his game around and make a run at the PGA Championship. One thing is certain, however: he will need to play significantly better if he hopes to add to his collection of major titles.

I think Tiger Woods is doing well. He is good at what he does. I even thought he has retired. Never the less, he is a great player.
