Tiger Woods has revealed that the upcoming US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits could be his final tournament of the year.
Despite finishing in a tie for 18th at last week’s Quicken Loans National, the former world number finds himself 189th in the FedEx Cup and will miss out on a chance to earn points this weekend having failed to qualify for the WGC-Bridgestone.
It means the final major of the year is next on his calendar, and anything other than a high finish could leave him without a chance of making the top 125.
Woods admits excelling at the US PGA is now his priority and a strong showing could well inspire him heading into the lucrative play-offs.
However, if he struggles at Whistling Straits, the 39-year-old admits he is likely to call time on his campaign, as there would be little point in him competing in the final event of the regular season, the Wyndham Championship.
“By playing well in the PGA, that determines whether or not I’ll play Wyndham, and obviously the rest of the FedEx Cup play-offs,” he said. “I need to obviously play well at the PGA to get myself to move up in points and then give myself an opportunity to get into the play-offs.
“Right now, I’m so far off that I need to have a really high finish, and nothing higher than winning my fifth PGA would be nice.”
