PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Professional golf can only hope that the start of the majors season is just a sign of things to come for 2019. Tiger Woods thrilling, come-from-behind win at the Masters in April is something none of us will forget anytime soon.

The adjustment of the calendar caused the PGA Championship, which had been held in August, to be moved into May and it’s now upon us. Bethplage Black — a former host of the U.S. Open — will welcome the world’s best players this week, all of whom are seeking the Wanamaker Trophy.

In case you’re wondering, Woods have a history on the course. He captured one of the U.S. Open titles he owns at Bethpage, which is located just outside of New York City.

Could Woods be on his way to a Tiger Slam? Obviously, it’s mathematically possible, but there are so many good players on the tour that it’s going to be extremely difficult. However, Woods, who hasn’t played competitively since winning the Masters, was so impressive with his ball striking during the Masters that it’s definitely a possibility.

For me, picking Woods would be simply too easy. Though, I’ll be pulling for Woods to win, I am going to pick Justin Thomas to win his second PGA Championship.
