Tiger Woods hints playing frequently missed PGA Championship cut

Tiger Woods vows to improve after missing cut at US PGA, aims to play better at upcoming US Open. Struggles continue.

Tiger Woods has vowed to improve his performance at the upcoming US Open after shooting a disappointing second round 77 to miss the cut at the US PGA by eight shots.

The 15-time Major champion, who struggled with two triple bogeys, has now gone 11 consecutive rounds without breaking par in Major tournaments. Currently ranked world No. 807, Woods finished 19 shots behind leader Xander Schauffele after 36 holes and was beaten by 12 PGA professionals in the field.

Looking ahead to the US Open on June 13, Woods expressed confidence that his game will improve with more playing time. He acknowledged the need to clean up his rounds and emphasized the physical improvements he has made in recent months. Despite facing challenges, Woods remains optimistic about his progress leading up to the tournament at Pinehurst.

During the US PGA, Woods encountered difficulties early on, recording a triple bogey after going from greenside bunker to bunker on the second hole. Despite a few birdies and a near ace on the eighth hole, he struggled with consistency throughout the tournament. After a delayed start due to a fatal traffic accident, Woods finished on a positive note with a birdie on the final hole.

Reflecting on his performance, Woods admitted to early mistakes that ultimately impacted his overall score. Despite his struggles, he remains focused on making improvements and learning from his experiences on the course.

Looking back at his impressive victory at the 2000 US PGA, where he finished 18-under par and won in a playoff, Woods highlighted the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of challenges. Now, at 48 years old, he is actively involved in discussions about becoming the next Ryder Cup captain and is dedicated to making a positive impact on the PGA Tour Policy Board.

Addressing a recent incident involving Scottie Scheffler's arrest, Woods expressed sympathy and emphasized the need for positive outcomes in challenging situations. As he continues to navigate the world of professional golf, Woods remains committed to his goals and is determined to overcome obstacles along the way.

The withdrawal of 1991 US PGA champion John Daly due to a thumb injury serves as a reminder of the physical demands of the sport and the importance of taking care of one's health. Despite setbacks and challenges, Woods remains focused on his journey and is determined to achieve success in future tournaments.
