Woods returning to Bellerive for first time since 9/11

AKRON, Ohio – For many players in next week’s PGA Championship Bellerive Country Club will be a mystery.

The last time the St. Louis layout hosted a PGA Tour event was in 2008 when it was the site of the BMW Championship, and prior to that the 1992 PGA Championship was the last time the course was the site of a significant professional event.

But for Tiger Woods, who didn’t play either the ’08 BMW or ’92 PGA, his last memories of Bellerive are impossible to forget. At the 2001 WGC-American Express Championship Woods was playing a practice round at Bellerive with Mike Weir when the world changed.
