KOHLER, Wisconsin — Tiger Woods, still striving to find consistency with his game, is in unusual territory as he heads into this week's PGA Championship with his PGA Tour season all but over and his world ranking in freefall.
"I'm just trying to get better," Woods, a four-times winner of the PGA Championship, told reporters on a sun-splashed Tuesday at Whistling Straits where he was preparing for Thursday's opening round in the year's final major.
The greatest player of his generation has plummeted to a mind-boggling 278th in the global pecking order, and looks almost certain to miss the four season-ending FedExCup playoff events because of his poor form.
