Tiger Woods addresses health, says his ‘body’s okay’ ahead of PGA Championship
New York TimesLOUISVILLE, Ky. — A goateed Tiger Woods sat in front of the media at Valhalla Golf Club on Tuesday and shared that his game could be in a better place ahead of his 23rd career start at the PGA Championship. He realizes his process looks different from what he needed to do 24 years ago, for example, when he defeated Bob May in a three-hole playoff at Valhalla to complete the third leg of the “Tiger Slam.” Woods’ history runs deep at the Jack Nicklaus design, but he’s an older, more fragile golfer in 2024. “I don’t have a lot of competitive reps, so I am having to rely on my practice sessions and getting stuff done either at home or here on-site,” Woods said. “But at the end of the day, I need to be ready mentally and physically come Thursday, and these days of practicing, eating on the golf course, that’s one of the reasons I came up here on Sunday, was to knock off some of the work that I have to do in charting greens, get all that stuff done early, so I can focus on literally playing and plotting my way around.” For Woods, the key this week will be staying on the short grass and landing on the right side of the tee time draw with inclement weather expected throughout the week. The Kentucky bluegrass rough at Valhalla is dense, and Woods says if he doesn’t drive the ball well, “things could get a little sore.” Woods will tee off at 8:04 a.m.
