WYNDHAM GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
August 23, 2015  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 3:00 p.m. ET

 
The Wyndham Championship is by no means a major golf tournament – and normally, I wouldn’t recommend it as TV Worth Watching. But Tiger Woods, who usually doesn’t even bother with this lower-tier PGA event, entered after failing to make the cut last week at the last major tournament of the year, because he’s fallen so low in the international golf rankings, with standings and with points, that it’s the only way he might qualify to play in the FedEx Cup postseason, which begins next week in New Jersey. But to make that cut, Woods would have to win this tournament outright, or finish in a solo second place, to earn enough points to play next week. Since he hasn’t won a tournament in years, it’s a tall order – but after three rounds, with only today’s final round at the North Carolina Wyndham course to go, Woods is two strokes behind leader Jason Gore, and is in a three-way tie for second place, at 13 under par. Woods played 28 holes without a bogey, displaying a consistency and determination that’s been missing from his game for quite a while. So can he grind out a win? The odds are against him – but it’s a dramatic story, either way.
