Tiger gets ready to pounce

His game is dominant, and with five victories in 12 starts this year as well as two major top-10 finishes, the success rate is phenomenal.

Yet as Tiger Woods prepares for his 16th PGA Championship appearance at Oak Hill tomorrow, there is still one thing that remains tantalisingly elusive – a 15th major.

Tomorrow’s first round at Oak Hill’s famed East Course will mark the world number one’s 17th start since he last made an inroad into Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 major championship wins, winning his 14th in the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines.
