Oh, and former TPC Boston champion Tiger Woods will make a look (the first of potentially three straight) as he tries to break the all-time PGA Tour wins record (hes presently connected at 82). There are innumerable storylines as the PGA Tour season winds down and the playoffs arrange out who will win the $60 million at stake over the next 3 weeks. After a three-month time out amid the coronavirus pandemic, Im ready for the playoffs to rock a bit and send us on to the U.S. Open in September as the golf year continues into the fall.
