LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A look back at the trending topics in golf the last time the PGA Championship was held at Valhalla in 2014:
Tiger Woods had the first of what would be four back surgeries early that year and had played only three times since April. The week before in the World Golf Championship at Firestone, he withdrew after eight holes from landing awkwardly in a bunker after trying to play a shot. Photographers gathered around his empty parking spot at Valhalla until he arrived Wednesday afternoon. Woods said his sacrum had to be put back in place. A large number of media spent the rest of the afternoon googling “sacrum.”
Rory McIlroy already had won the BMW PGA Championship when he captured his third major at the British Open at Hoylake, and then won the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone to return to No. 1 in the world for the first time in more than a year. He was hopeful of turning 2014 into a special year (it was).
