Tiger Misses Cut, Will Have Plenty of Time to Work on His Game

Five club pros posted better scores. His caddie, childhood friend Bryon Bell, spent more time raking bunkers than lining up putts. He finished out of the top 100 for only the third time in his career.

No, not a good PGA Championship for Tiger Woods.

The indignities multiplied Friday at Atlanta Athletic Club, an unforgiving layout strewn with hazards. Woods found most of them for the second consecutive day, shooting 73 in the wake of Thursday's unsightly, opening-round 77.

He finished at 10-over for the tournament, missing the cut for only the third time in 56 major-championship starts as a pro. His previous empty weekends: the 2006 U.S. Open and '09 British Open.

Where does Tiger go from here?

He will not qualify for the upcoming PGA Tour playoffs, so his next tour event might not come until late January in San Diego. He plans to play in the Australian Open in November.

"I'll have nothing to do but work on my game," Woods said. "That's going to be good. Sean (Foley) and I haven't had the opportunity to really sit down and do a lot of work, so this will be our time."
