At the time, many (including noted commentator Gary McCord) predicted the start of a long rivalry between Woods and García.[2] The teenage García's outgoing antics during the tournament had captured the attention of many golf fans, but his sole major title came over seventeen years later at the Masters in 2017. Mike Weir, the co-leader with Woods after 54 holes, shot 80 in the final round and tied for tenth.[2]
Although this was the first PGA Championship at Medinah, it was the fourth major; the U.S. Open was held at Course No. 3 in 1949, 1975, and 1990. The PGA Championship returned seven years later in 2006, also won by Woods, and Medinah hosted the Ryder Cup in 2012.

gollark: The Lua client connects to a JS websocket server which relays messages between the sockets.
gollark: All those using skynet must update or else. I have made a new version including:* one websocket for all channels, which is probably better* a different protocol (contact me for instructions on out-of-game use)* a slightly different API - shouldn't really be noticeable* actual handling of the server failingand it's backwards-incompatible, so like I said, update or else.
gollark: At least it doesn't use proof of stake or something!
gollark: You can trade for krist, but not well.
gollark: The protocol is fairly simple: open websocket to `wss://osmarks.tk/skynet/connect/[channel name]` and send/receive JSON.
