The 89th PGA Championship is here

Can Tiger Woods finally win the big one?

The 89th PGA Championship kicked off August 9 and will conclude on August 12, and like any other major golf tournament in the planet these days, Tiger Woods is the heavy favorite to win the final major of the season.

It seems winning the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational did not confuse Tiger from the ''real goal'' and the most important one at that, win the PGA Championship.

Tiger Woods already has four PGA Tour wins this season while topping the tournament's money list. He leads the 2007 FedEx Cup points race too. But I reckon the season will just be meaningless to Tiger if he doesn't win the 89th PGA Championship over golf's four-day weekend.

''Golf-wise, it's been pretty good, but not great,'' Tiger Woods said of 2007. ''If all you win is a major, then it's a great year. I just think the major championships are valued that highly. I've come close. I just haven't gotten it done yet.''

Tiger Woods will be coming in the 89th PGA Championship with T-2, T-2 and T-12 finishes at the first three major championships of the year. However, with all of Woods' accomplishments, this one seems to elude him the most and one golfer, Zach Johnson, is just happy to know that Tiger is human after all.

''You expect him to always be there,'' Zach Johnson said.

''Typically he always is. Finishing and coming through with the win is certainly not easy. You know there is a Tiger factor. For me, there always will be because we're the same age. In the majors, you expect him to be there, and clearly he will be at some point. I don't know why he didn't come through. It's good to know he's human, I guess.''
