Tiger Woods excited ahead of US PGA

Tiger Woods has said that he can’t wait for the US PGA championship to get underway in Georgia this afternoon.

The four-time champion returns after taking part in just seven tournaments this year due to ankle and knee injuries.

Woods, who played at a tournament in Akron last week, revealed that he is confident heading into today’s event.

"I can feel the rush of a major championship again,” he said. "I can just feel the atmosphere - it's just different.

"I was frustrated earlier in the year, especially at The Masters, because I just wasn't feeling well, but now that I'm healthy I have way more energy because I'm not trying to block out pain.

"I can just go out there and play golf."

The 35-year-old has won 14 majors and 71 PGA tour events in total during his career.
