Tiger Woods Getting To Grips With Kiawah Island’s ‘Bunker Grounding’ Rules.
Tiger Woods, like the majority of competitors in this week’s 94th PGA Championship, was getting to grips with rules governing play from bunkers here on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.

And Woods, in a manner we’re so used to seeing from Phil Mickelson, opened up a 60-degree wedge and put the ball from ...

TaylorMade & Titleist Duel For Kiawah Island Novelty.
Once again, TaylorMade has gone to enormous expense to present a unique golf bag for the company’s staff players competing at this week’s PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.
The giant U.S golf manufacturer set a trend a few years ago with their unique golf bags though they did get one statistic wrong for their 2012 Open Championship bag in showing a magnet with the number ‘203’ – to represent the number of the bunkers at Royal Lytham and St. Annes where the actual number ...
