Is former world No. 1 Tiger Woods going to go a third straight golf season
without winning a major championship? We will have our answer by Sunday as the
PGA
Championship, the year’s final Grand Slam event, tees off on Thursday in
Atlanta. Woods is currently 20/1 to win on Bodog’s
golf odds. Tiger’s last major victory came at the 2008 U.S. Open, which he memorably won
over Rocco Mediate on the 19th hole of a Monday playoff and
playing essentially on a broken leg. Tiger hasn’t won on the PGA Tour in nearly
two full years, with that last victory coming at the BMW Championship in
September 2009 during the FedEx Cup playoffs. Of course Tiger’s personal life
crumbled a few months later and he hasn’t been the same player since. Last week at the WGC-Bridgestone, Woods returned from knee/Achilles’ injuries
that had sidelined him since he withdrew after nine holes of the Players
Championship in May. Tiger wasn’t much of a factor at the Bridgestone, a
tournament he had won seven times, finishing at 1-over 281 and tied for 37th.
That was only Tiger’s seventh tournament of the year. Of course Tiger’s former
caddie, Steve Williams, memorably won the Bridgestone on the
bag of new full-time employer Adam Scott. The PGA Championship has been good to Tiger as he has won it four times, both
in back-to-back fashion: 1999-2000 and 2006-07. His best finish since that last
win was a runner-up in 2009. Woods tied for 28th last year. Ninety-eight of the
world's top 100 players have assembled at Atlanta Athletic Club for Thursday's
opening round. Tiger's group tees off at 8:35 a.m. ET. Bet on the PGA Championship now at Bodog
