PGA Championship 2019:The last time Tiger Woods won back-to-back majors was in 2002. The venues for those events? Augusta National and Bethpage Black. Coincidence aside, Tiger does have a real chance to win two straight majors this time, but only if his driver shows up.
Woods can no longer dominate fields with his length off the tee. Instead, he uses experience to his advantage and leans heavily on his elite iron play, but that can only shine through if he's finding fairways. He drove the ball really well at the Masters, but the fairways and rough at Augusta do not compare to the tests he'll face at Bethpage Black.
He'll be one of the favorites this week, and deservingly so. But Tiger will have to figure out a different way to win compared to fellow contenders Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Rory McIlroy, who will all be able to launch it off the tee.
Knowing Tiger's history in recent majors, don't put it past the 15-time champ to figure it out.
