Tiger Woods teed off Thursday morning in the first round of the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, likely hoping to make up for his recent performance at the 2024 Masters in April. The 48-year-old pro golfer first won the tournament in 1999 at just 23, and went on to win three more times, including at Valhalla in 2000.

Widely considered one of the greatest golfers of all time, in recent years the athlete has dealt with physical challenged due to surgeries and injuries from a 2021 car accident. And as USA Today reported Thursday, it showed, with Woods scoring a 1-over 72 in the opening round.
