HAVEN, Wis. — What's next for Tiger Woods?

In the short term, it will be the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina next week. That’s probably the next tournament on his journey, his search. The indication is Woods will be at the Wyndham this coming week, which may be a mistake.

Fans think he ought to stay away from competition, relax—if that’s even possible after missing the cut in a third straight major—and reflect. Figure out what’s wrong and if anything’s right.

But Tiger has never backed away from anything, unless it was a putt when the gallery was too noisy. He hopes to earn enough points at the Wyndham to qualify for the first wave of tournaments in the FedEx Cup playoffs, leading to the Tour Championship at the end of September. Sitting 279 points out of the final qualifying spot, Woods would essentially need to win and earn the 500 FedEx Cup points that come with it.

And after his performance at Whistling Straits, that scenario is the longest of longshots.



Woods was two strokes above the cut in the 97th PGA Championship. He shot 75-73 for a total of 148. So as at the U.S. Open and British Open, he played only two rounds. What has been arguably his poorest year as a pro has only continued to get worse.

How does he fix it? Can he fix it? Does he try yet another teacher and another swing? Does he merely work on all the changes he’s incorporated and hasn’t perfected yet? Does he acknowledge that with his 40th birthday less than five months away, his game never will be what it once was?

Forget the last question. Woods may concede he can’t hit it as far as the new bombers—Bubba Watson, Rory McIlroy, and the rest of that group—but ...
