The PGA Championship or the “Glory’s last shot” as it is also known, took part last week at the Medinah Country Club in Chicago. This official money event on both the PGA TOUR and the European Tour, offered this year a purse of $6.8 million and for all the golf fans, we got some of the best golf players in the world showing us what they’re made of.
For most golf followers, the PGA Champion ended up being the Ali of golf. But for some of the fans that followed the tournament these four days, golfers Mike Weir and Luke Donald seemed to be on a roll for the first place.
If Eldrick T. Woods wouldn’t have been in the tournament I also would’ve expected one of this two to be the winners, especially after a 72 on Thursday, a 67 on Friday and the astounding 65 on Saturday Weir was an excellent opponent and of course Luke was another favorite since he tied with Tiger.
The first pairing of Tiger Woods and Luke Donald, on Sunday, caught all the attention, event that helped Weir. The 4- and 5- under round of Mike’s gave the impression that he had a plus of having a second major victory on his career.
But on the other hand Woods was 11-0, leading after 54 holes, tied with Donald and with a two-stroke advantage. This showed us how hard was for any other player to steal the victory from the master Tiger Woods; a victory that also escaped from Weir during the 99′s tournament.
Tiger had complete control during the game, began with a birdie and shot a 4- under 68. He just had a bogey at the No.17th hole, when it was already obvious that he was the winner. Meanwhile Weir made a bogey on the 11th hole, finishing the day at 11 under, leaving fans perplexed for the change on his course.
Luke Donald and his fans were also expecting a different result and they all had the hope of watching Tiger make a couple of bogeys that would’ve given Donald the chance to take the leading title from his opponent.
This 51st PGA Championship was Tiger’s third consecutive victory. With which he also tied the record, 18-under, with Bob May for the PGA Tour. The first winner of a PGA Championship, Jim Barnes, received $500 in 1916, while Tiger Woods received $1.224 million last Sunday.
When you know how much preparation and love Woods had during his life for golf, is comprehensive how can he be so great at it. This 31-year-old amazing player always had the passion for this sport, since he was six-month-old he used to mimic his father.
Even many of his opponents had accepted to feel useless to play in a tournament with Tiger after watching him play. I hope we get to see more of him for more time, because when he is on the field for sure we’ll see the best of every player that join him.
Watch the video related to pga tour
- Just over five months ago, EA released Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 for Nintendo Wii. At the time of review, we thought it was odd, as EA usually followed the classic “Our games are one year ahead of reality” pattern, and Tiger Woods 07 was actually releasing in 07. Fear not Wii patron, EA hasn’t fallen behind, because it’s still 2007, and we’ve got a new Tiger Woods sitting on shelves. What can five months of development time do for a franchise that was missing so much the first time around …

Beautiful video!
Great video!5*
Nice music and painting!
dont listen to tommy he doesnt know what he is talking about. however you are behind (i know of kids your age who are already shooting underpar). but dont let that get you down because alot of people peak at different ages. vijay didnt become a star until he was in his mid 40's. im 24 and i was a 6 when i was your age then when i was 20 i became a 10 and now i am a 2 nearly anywhere i play so your chance isnt gone.
If you can get sponsors it would be alot easier for you to enter Q school. it is very expensive so if your parents are gonna pay for it then you better be serious since it can cost up to 4-8 grand per qualifying round depending where you are.
this is another option to help you get sponsors. try to qualify for the U.S. amatuer matchplay tournament to get noticed or get your handicap to a 2 or lower and try to qualify for the U.S. Open. sure if you qualify you are still playing the tournament as an amateur and not eligible to win the tournament purse, however it is a good way to get your name out there and maybe someone will sponsor you for Q school.
anyways dont worry about that now. right now your only concern is getting yourself in shape physically and mentally and try to get at least 4 hours of practice a day and see a professional teacher to learn how to practice the right way. or else you will just be another young talent wacking golf balls on the range.
good luck bro.
Alot because you have several detractors….
-Phil will be standing back & looking at the light bulb and asking Bones what he thinks for many minutes before it actually gets changed
-Sergio will grip the light bulb and then regrip it several times before he actually turns it
-Furyk will step up to help change it and then back off several times
-Daly will be too darn drunk to help at all
-Vijay will have to practice for hours before hand because his form in the chnaging of the bulb will be a little off
-Padraig will show up to help because Tiger's not there
-Adam Scott will get there but then choke on the last turn and won't be any help at all
Then AK comes in and just changes the damn thing himself….
Haha!
Merry Christmas everybody!
I don't know the exact score or the player's name but it occurred when a players marker wrote the back nine total in the square for the eighteenth hole and the player just looked at the front and back nine totals before signing the card. The rule is that a player is responsible for the score on each hole and if a higher score is entered for a hole it stands and if a lower score is posted it results in disqualification. In this case the player signed for a 36 on the eighteenth hole and wound up with a score of about 103 instead of 72.
Today is the 2nd day into it. The BMW Championship ends tomorrow.
If you have a very low handicap (usually 2 or below) you can apply to try and qualify for different tournaments including the US Open. Check out this link
