The possibilities for the PGA Championship beginning tomorrow at famed Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville are endless, as they were in the last sporting event contested in the area 12 days ago. 

    There's Tiger Woods, who is always worth a few thousand words, along with PGA stalwarts Scottie Scheffler, the brand new father who probably has no room on the shelf for another trophy, also Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and many more; LIV big guns Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed and Brooks Koepka, who won it last year and put $3,159,000 in the bank. The former Seminole who knows a little something about building up a storage of Majors also won in 2018 and 2019. Then, there's the old guard - John Daly, Padraig Harrington and a pair of winners who have come out of the woodwork, Shaun Micheel and Rich Beem. And don't forget the two Gators, Billy Horschel and Camilo Villegas, who like Stella appear to have their groove back, both celebrating recent victories.

    But - the biggest galleries- at least for the first two days - will be reserved for Tiger. And if he makes the cut, they'll be tearing the clubhouse down trying to get a good vantage point for two more days. Tiger looks good, and doesn't appear to be limping, but these days, his physical status is always a question mark going in. His last win in this event came in 2007. Thomas won in 2017 and 2022, Mickelson in 2021, and Rory in 2012 and 2014.

    It promises to be one heckuva show.
