Tiger Woods raised hopes that he would play in this week’s US PGA Championship at Valhalla when last night asking the organisers for an extension to the registration deadline.
Woods, who pulled out of Sunday’s final round in Akron with a back complaint, officially had until 5pm to register, but provisions allow for injured players to sign up on arrival – so long as the PGA of America is informed.
