Coupled with his opening-round 75, he missed the cut by two shots.

Tiger, who ranks well out of the top-125 eligible for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, has recently announced his decision to play the Wyndham Championship next week as a last ditch attempt to garner enough points to qualify for the post-season playoffs.
Do you remember when Jason Day won the U.S. Open back in 2011? I have my tournament down in the Bahamas [the Hero World Challenge].
Woods, who missed the cut at the PGA Championship, was the ninth-highest paid athlete of the past 12 months according to a ranking by Forbes.
As you all know, I’ve never been shy about taking Woods to task about anything – the scandals, the non-answers to questions, the Orwellian doublespeak.
Woods, whose early exits at the US and British Opens marked the first time he missed two straight major championship cuts, will have work to do on Friday to make it to the weekend at Whistling Straits.
While he insists his “confidence is growing quickly”, Tiger Woods admitted after missing the cut at the 2015 PGA Championship early Saturday that he’s been frustrated by his inability to put together the various elements of his game over four rounds of late. 10-12) were the easiest holes on the course and the wheels began to wobble in a round in which Tiger found just seven fairways and 12 greens and made the turn at 1-over 37. On No. 8, he did a good job to save bogey after his approach shot came to rest at the back of a greenside bunker and the shot out of the sand traveled only a few feet, into the deep rough. Like a wily veteran baseball pitcher, Woods has lost some speed of his fastball — he’s not able to hurl it 100 miles per hour and strike out 17 batters.
“I’ll be honest, I haven’t played 18 since that day”, he said Tuesday. “Now if I can start putting like I did (Saturday) or what I did at Quicken Loans a couple weeks ago, then we got something”. Woods, tied for 102nd after the first round at the PGA, seemed resigned to his PGA season coming to a close in Wisconsin. “And not only that but I felt like I could roll the ball on my correct pace”. “I’m just trying to get my game better for years to come”, he said Tuesday. With Woods these days we look for the tiniest rays of hope. “If I don’t, then I have more time to practice and get ready for the following events, for the next season and obviously some of the things I do on a global level”. “Or is he going to have it surgically repaired?” said Woods.

“That’s the fun part”, he said. “So the season, it is what it is, but I still have a lot of golf left”. And to have the control that I need to have going forward… He qualified by finishing 10th in the Professional National Championship, and he had the honors of hitting first tee shot.
