The 94^th PGA Championship takes place at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina this week. If I tip Tiger Woods again, he will not have a chance of winning, so perhaps I should not. The one thing in his favour this particular week is he really is an athlete, he is superbly fit and strong and like most super fit athletes, he will not fade away when it gets hot, and the weather will be incredibly hot and the course terribly windy.

It is meant to be a terribly tough course, which will suit the guys who do well in tough conditions – which also includes Ernie Els and Retief Goosen from South Africa, who generally come to the forefront in tournaments where everybody does not score that well. It might also suit Louis Oosthuizen. There has been a long run now of tournaments where there has not been a repeat winner of a Major and so it is going to be interesting to see if at last we do get a repeat winner – somebody else who has won this year or somebody who has won in recent years. In fact, Tiger Woods has not won a major since 2008, even though he has won three tournaments this year, more than anybody else. Sadly, for golf fans, it is also the last major of the year – in other words, until next year’s Masters in April 2013, there is not another major this year and so for all professional golfers this is the last chance, for 8 months, to add a major to their CV!
