Fans tuning into the PGA championship this week may do a double take when they see Tiger Woods hit the green on Thursday.

The 48-year-old arrived to Valhalla golf club on Sunday to partake in a practice session ahead of his return to the Kentucky golf course for the second golf major of the year.

The event’s official social media account shared footage of Woods arrival, showing him getting in some practice shots on the social platform X.

Whether or not the five-time Masters winner will keep the goatee for the tournament or shave it off before Thursday is unknown.

Many were expecting Woods would show up this week at the Kentucky venue as the golf pro indicated after the Masters that he was planning to play in this year’s PGA Championship. 

Woods is very familiar with Valhalla as he is a former champion and will be hoping he can imitate that success this week.

Woods claimed his maiden and only victory at the course in 2000 when he beat Bob May in a three-hole playoff in the PGA Championship. 

The American will be hoping to find glory once again in Louisville however he comes up against one of strongest fields in golf. 

2024 Masters winner Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm are few of the other heavyweights in golf who will line out in Louisville this week.

For fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Wood’s new look, the American man will be teeing off on Thursday, May 16.

Woods will be in for a treat if he manages to find form once again as the winner gets a sizeable amount from the $17million prize pot. 

The payout for this year’s competition is expected to increase from last year’s tournament which saw Brooks Koepka finish top of the leader board to claim the $3,150,000 prize.
