Tiger Woods is all set to compete in the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Notably, this will be his second event since the solo car crash in February 2021. But make no mistake, he looks more robust and fitter than the last time we saw him at the Augusta National during the 2022 Masters.

Recently, Woods put his knowledge about the PGA Championship to the test along with the 2021 PGA Champion Collin Morikawa. The first question was, “this person opened a PGA Championship victory with a 66.” Both Tiger and Collin gave the correct answer as it was Woods himself who achieved this feat at the 2000 PGA Championship.

The next question was, “This person’s closing round was their lowest of the week.” Once again, Morikawa and Woods were right, as it was Collin this time who had achieved the feat in 2020. However, next, the host asked a tricky question: “This person won by two strokes.” Answering right once again, Tiger and Collin named themselves, and hence, did not receive any points for this question.

“This person won in their first playing of the PGA Championship,” was the final question. Both the golfers gave the right answer again, which was Collin Morikawa in 2020. Hence, Tiger and Collin were tied with the same points as they got three right and one wrong in the end.
