After posting his 11th consecutive round of par or worse in a major championship with a 6-over 77 in the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday, Tiger Woods is headed home on the weekend again.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- After posting his 11th consecutive round of par or worse in a major championship with a 6-over 77 in the second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club on Friday,With a 36-hole total of 7-over 149, Woods was well above the projected cut line of 1-under 141. In his past 22 starts in majors, he has missed the cut 10 times and withdrawn twice.
Woods, 48, said he plans to play in the next major, the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina on June 13-16."It will -- in time," Woods said of the possibility of his game improving."I need to play more. Unfortunately, I just haven't played a whole lot of tournaments, and not a whole lot of tournaments on my schedule either. Hopefully, everything will somehow come together in my practice sessions at home and be ready for Pinehurst.
After three-putting for a bogey on the par-3 third, Woods recorded his second triple-bogey in three holes on the short par-4 fourth. He was only 75 yards from the hole after his drive -- but didn't reach the green until his fifth shot. His third went into a bunker, and he couldn't get out of the sand with his fourth. He blasted his ball out and two-putted from 11½ feet. Woods was 7 over after four holes in the round.
Coming into Friday, Woods had carded just one triple-bogey in his previous 22 PGA Championship appearances -- on the sixth hole in the third round of the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
