Tiger Woods started the 2024 PGA Championship with a shaky 1-over par 72 at Valhalla Golf Club. While a 72 in most majors wouldn't be a bad score, the scorching pace set by Xander Schauffele (record-breaking 9-under 62) left Woods a hefty 10 strokes back.
Woods battled inconsistent tee shots throughout the round, but managed to stay near par. A mid-round birdie surge even put him in red figures for a fleeting moment. However, his hopes for a strong finish were dashed by two costly three-putt bogeys on the final two holes.
This marked Woods' 10th consecutive round at a major without breaking par, dating back to the 2022 PGA. While his competitive rust was evident, Woods remains determined to contend. Whether he can overcome the deficit and his putting woes will be a story to watch over the coming days.
