Where is this weeks pga championship being held?
After winning his 70th Tour event by four shots Sunday, Tiger Woods laid rest to the questions about his comeback. Woods shot a pair of 65s on the weekend — five shots better than the next best player — coming from behind to win his seventh Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in 10 starts. The world No. 1 has now held the trophy aloft in 22 of his 40 starts since the 2006 British Open. There’s no doubt that, with a fifth win this season — and a second in successive weeks after last week’s Buick Open — Woods is not only back, but that, at 33 and with a surgically reconstructed knee, he may just be as good as ever.

After winning two straight tournaments, the PGA Championship 2009 should be easy for Tiger Woods – but historically, coming into a major after a win is the worst thing Woods can do. The PGA Championship 2009 was always going to have Tiger Woods as a favorite. But after winning the Bridgestone Invitational yesterday for a second win in as many weeks, Woods’ name may be halfway engraved on the PGA Championship 2009 trophy already. However, that would be a dangerous mistake to make. Woods has gone into every major this season having won his previous tournament. In this case, Woods goes into the PGA Championship 2009 having
Tiger Woods sent out an ominous warning to his rivals for this week’s PGA Championship in Chaska, Minnesota by winning his fifth PGA Tour title of the year at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday. The American world number one overhauled Irishman Padraig Harrington to triumph by four strokes, claiming his 70th career victory on the circuit and his second in successive weeks. “It feels good,” Woods told reporters after signing off with consecutive rounds of five-under-par 65 at Firestone Country Club. “I’ve always felt comfortable here.
