The second golf major of the year, the PGA Championship, will soon begin. Unfortunately, Tiger Woods will be unable to compete in the tournament due to the surgery he underwent to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. While the golfer is not participating in the event, he did share his thoughts on the Quail Hollow course, which is hosting the event.

Wood's clothing company Sun Day Red uploaded a video of the golfer about his thoughts on the course. In the video, he stated via X:

"Well, it's an amazing golf course in the fact that it's hosting the second PGA Championship. The green mile, those last two holes are, I think it's longer than a mile. Those are some seriously hard holes, and that the golf course can be had just by putting the ball in the right spots."

The caption for the post read:

"To compete in Charlotte, NC, you have to see opportunities where others see obstacles. The Carolina Collection is infused with performance insights from Tiger himself, designed for peak performance when the stakes are highest. #SunDayRed"

There is currently no set date for Tiger Woods' return to the game. However, it is almost certain that he will miss the rest of the 2025 season.
