Woods’ Fast Start Seals PGA Grand Slam Title
Tiger Woods got off to the quick start he wanted Wednesday and won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf for his 10th title in his last 14 events.
Five up after the front nine, Woods defeated Davis Love III, 3 and 2, at the 6,957-yard Poipu Bay Resort on Kauai. “I felt it was going to be a tough match because Davis played so well [Tuesday],” Woods said. “After birdieing the first hole, I knew if I could somehow answer, I could stop his momentum.”
He did, eagling the 524-yard second hole. In the next seven holes, Woods took control, winning holes with two more birdies, plus two bogeys by Love. Woods, who entered with $7,281,626 in winnings this year, won another $400,000.
