The 15-time major champion, who has battled injuries and setbacks in recent years, is set to tee it up at the iconic Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. Tiger Woods has confirmed his presence in Kentucky, and the golf world is giggling with glee over the news.
Woods underwent ankle surgery earlier this year, which kept him out of several key tournaments, including last year’s PGA Championship at Oak Hill. His absence was felt by fans and fellow players alike, but the golfing legend remained determined to return to competitive action.
Why is Valhalla a special place for Tiger Woods?
Valhalla holds a special place in Woods’ heart. It was here, back in 2000, that he secured his second consecutive PGA Championship title in dramatic fashion. The duel with Bob May in a three-hole playoff remains one of the most memorable moments in golf history. Woods’ victory at Valhalla was part of what would later be known as the Tiger Slam, winning all four major championships consecutively.
