PGA Championship 2015 at Whistling Straits: Live Scores and Blog

August 13, 2015

Tiger Woods Courses took drastic efforts to prevent themselves from becoming obsolete due to Tiger’s ability to hit the ball longer than anyone on Tour. Even though he’s been surpassed in driving distance in the recent years, the “Tiger-proofing” of layouts across the Tour stops provides evidence that Tiger was one of a kind in the late ‘90s. Augusta National notably stretched its layout by more than 500 yards in 1997 after Tiger lapped the field en route to a 12-stroke victory.
