Tiger Woods Walks 36 Holes, Impresses at PNC Championship with Son
December 23, 2024For the first time since his 2021 car accident, Tiger Woods voluntarily walked all 36 holes of the PNC Championship, a significant step in his recovery.
During a practice round leading up to the tournament, Woods described his game as 'rusty,' admitting to struggles with trajectory and shot shaping.
Despite his self-criticism, Woods showcased impressive play throughout the tournament, highlighted by a dramatic shot on the par-5 14th hole that reached a remarkable 173 mph ball speed, setting up an eagle opportunity.
Woods and his son, Charlie, came close to winning the Willie Park Trophy, finishing with a tournament record-tying score of 28 under par.
However, they ultimately fell to Bernhard and Jason Langer in a playoff, with Woods acknowledging that he is not yet in competitive shape but relishing the camaraderie of the event.
Looking ahead, Woods has nearly two months to prepare for his next potential tournament at the Genesis Invitational, where he will again need to walk without the option of a cart.
