If Webster’s or American Heritage ever created a golf dictionary, the term “horses for courses” would be very easy to define. Just use a photo of Tiger Woods.
After all, 47 of his 68 PGA TOUR victories have come on just eight courses -- most notably Torrey Pines with seven and Firestone’s South Course and Bay Hill with six each. Woods has also won four times at Augusta National.
These multiple wins on the same course, though, only tell part of the story. The world’s No. 1 player has proven more than capable of adapting to wherever he tees it up -- in fact, half of his 10 non-Masters majors have come at courses he was playing competitively for the first time.
And Woods gets another opportunity this week when he plays in the 138th Open Championship on the Ailsa Course at Turnberry.
