WATCH: Tiger Woods draws huge crowd Monday morning at Valhalla
Tiger Woods still has it when it comes to drawing a crowd.
The 15-time major champion arrived at Valhalla Golf Club on Monday morning to a large group that grew to a few thousand before he finished his round about 11:15 a.m. on the 18th green.
맥스카지노Oh, there맥스카지노s Tiger,맥스카지노 one young fan told his father.

The 48-year-old Woods has won just one major championship since 2008, but he맥스카지노s still the top draw in golf. There were more fans surrounding the 18th green watching Woods than were probably on the rest of the course at the time combined.
맥스카지노He맥스카지노s still got it,맥스카지노 another fan remarked to his son.
Woods is still such a star in golf that as he walked down the 18th fairway after his second shots, Rickie Fowler and Patrick Cantlay - two of the top golfers in the world - were a few yards away teeing off on No. 13.
That duo drew about 100 fans.
Woods will be making just his second start of the PGA season, after making the cut for the 24th straight time at the Masters.
He맥스카지노ll be doing it at the place where he has some history.
Woods beat Bob May in a three-hole playoff in the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla. The win in 2000 was at his peak and at the time was his third straight major championship.
He missed the cut in 2014 when the PGA Championship was also at Valhalla.
Woods has faced a wide range of injuries over the past few years, limiting his starts and the expectations surrounding his game. He had ankle surgery last April, which sidelined him for nearly 10 months.
He last won the PGA back in 2007 and his last major championship was the Masters in 2019, which ended an 11-year drought in major championships. The only major he played in last year was the Masters.
The last time that Woods teed it up in the PGA was in 2022 when he shot 69 on the second day of the event but ended up withdrawing after a third-round 79.
Woods played a practice round last week at Valhalla and was seen on site Sunday before getting in 18 holes on Monday.
The odds that Woods wins the PGA this week, according to DraftKings, is 180-1 but he맥스카지노ll still draw a crowd.
