Following Tiger: A PGA Championship Tick-Tock

I’m in Johns Creek, Ga., on a sweltering Friday for the second round of the 93rd PGA Championship. This year, 98 of the top 100 players in the world are on hand to play the Atlanta Athletic Club’s revamped Highlands Course. Looming over everything, though, is the astonishing decline of Tiger Woods.

A day earlier, Tiger shot a 77, his worst opening round in a major. I'm here to follow his uphill climb to make the cut. (Even when a tournament is not about Tiger Woods, it’s about Tiger Woods.)
