Tiger's Close...To Playing His Last Tournament Of 2014-15

It's bizarre to believe, but after this week's Quicken Loans National Tiger Woods may only play the PGA Championship and then be done with his 2014-15 season.

But he says after a few days off and some practice, his game is close. Steve DiMeglio writes for USA Today:

Woods has already played 32 holes since arriving here and put in an additional 2 hours, 20 minutes of work on the range Monday. He’ll play another 18 in Wednesday’s pro-am. He’s hoping to play 72 more starting Thursday.

“It's frustrating not to be able to win golf tournaments. I'm not really there in contention very often and so that part is frustrating. But I know how close it feels and I know that I just need a couple shots here and there and it turns the tide,” Woods said. “People don't really realize how close it has been between a person who is winning and a person missing the cut. It's not as big a gap as people might think. … Obviously I’ve got to clean up my rounds, convert the opportunities that I have and I just haven't done it and hopefully I can do it this week.”

As Brian Wacker notes at PGATour.com, only a win this week gets him in to the WGC event next week at Firestone. There's always the Wyndham...

Woods isn’t yet eligible for next week’s World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, though a win this week would get him in.

He could play the Barracuda Championship, opposite the event at Firestone, too, but indicated that he wouldn’t.

After that, there’s the PGA Championship followed by the Wyndham Championship (a tournament he has never played) before the FedExCup Playoffs begin.
