Woods enters the PGA Championship with a burden: he hasn't won a PGA major in more than five years. Woods hasn't won once in his last 17 majors, Fox Sports reports.
Woods has enjoyed a relatively successful season that's included five wins. Still, his lack of major wins isn't lost on him.
"(Majors) are the biggest events with the most pressure, the best fields on the most difficult golf courses," Woods said, via Fox Sports.
Woods is three PGA Tour wins away from tying Sam Snead's record of 82, according to Fox Sports, but his 15th major continues to elude him.
"I think winning one major championship automatically means you had a great year," Woods said. "Even if you miss the cut in every tournament you play in, you win one, you're part of history.
"This year, for me, I think it's been a great year so far for me, winning five times, and you look at the quality of tournaments I've won, a Players and two World Golf Championships in there, that's pretty good."
As for his 15th win at a major, Woods feels he is close.
"I've had, certainly, my share of chances to win," he said. "I've had my opportunities there on the back nine on those probably half of those Sundays for the last five years where I've had a chance, and just haven't won it.
"But the key is to keep giving myself chances, and eventually I'll start getting them."
