Your support makes all the difference.Tiger Woods returns to Bethpage Black, where he won the US Open in 2002, as the formidable course plays host to this year’s PGA Championship.
The tournament has been moved to May in line with the Tour’s new schedule with the fever still lingering after Woods’ heroic victory at the Masters last month.
Patrick Reed is also a firm lover of the exceptionally difficult A.W. Tillinghast course, having claimed victory in The Barclays in 2016.
Rory McIlroy is seeking to end a five-year major drought after an indifferent performance at Augusta, while Brooks Koepka has continued his streak of good form, finishing fourth at last week’s AT&T Byron Nelson.
