Tiger Woods offered glowing praise for Medinah Country Club after winning the 2006 PGA Championship there, calling it one of the neat places and describing his appreciation for its traditional course layout. Woods won both PGA Championships held at the venue in 1999 and 2006.
The 15-time major champion highlighted what made Medinah special compared to other tour venues, explaining that it represented a straightforward golf course that was not tricked up like most modern courses. He emphasized that Medinah presented a difficult but fair challenge that was right in front of players.
Medinah Country Club is hosting the Presidents Cup for the first time this week, marking another significant chapter in the venue's history of major golf events. The venue has undergone major renovations in recent years, meaning the current layout differs significantly from the course Woods played during his championship victories.
