Still, there were some doubts Woods would actually play Greensboro, especially after he finished up his second round Saturday and missed the 36-hole cut in the PGA. This week at the PGA Championship might be the week.

But there he was joking.
Day faced enormous pressure of having a lead for the first time going into the final round, trying to avoid becoming the first player since the PGA Championship went to stroke play in 1958 to have at least a share of the 54-hole lead in three straight majors without winning.
“It’s frustrating to miss any cuts because any time you miss a cut, you don’t have a chance to win the even”.
Do you remember when Jason Day won the U.S. Open back in 2011? And that’s why Woods at the Wyndham could be the most compelling story of the season. The deadline to enter was Friday evening.
“I just need to get more consistent in tournament golf“. “We’ll decide in the next couple of days”. His agent confirmed the news to ESPN.com on Monday. “But I really feel like he thinks he’s close to some sort of good form and found a little something with his putter toward the end of the (PGA Championship)”. Woods would need to finish alone in second place – which awards 300 points – to have any shot of making it into the playoff. “And not only that but I felt like I could roll the ball on my correct pace”.
Spieth scorched his drive and walked up the fairway, shrugging his shoulders just slightly in what might be a nervous tic but looks like a bit of a swagger.
Camillo Villegas turned around an ordinary year in 2014 when he took the title by one shot over Freddie Jacobson and Bill Haas. He missed the cut in the opening two events and was middle of the pack in the third one.
“Came back at Augusta and had my short game back”.
High on the list of the demise of Tiger Woods is his performance in the sport’s four biggest events, a collapse that continued here early Saturday morning when he failed to survive the 36-hole cut at the PGA Championship.
“So far, 10 events this year, obviously it’s a very small sample, but I’m pleased at the way I’m starting to hit the ball”. I just haven’t done that.
That’s what a lot of weekend hackers say.
Asked if it was about the playoffs, Woods said that wasn’t the only decision in play.
“[My goal is] just to try to get my name on the Wanamaker Trophy, that’s about it”, Spieth said. So there’s plenty of golf left to be played for the rest of the year.

Woods is set to tee off at 7 a.m. Wednesday with Paul, who grew up in the area and went to Wake Forest, located in Greensboro, as is the Wyndham. “That’s the fun part”. “I haven’t been able to put consistently both together for an entire event”.
