Tiger Woods admitted he never imagined being in contention in consecutive majors after threatening to pull off one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time in the US PGA Championship. Woods only returned to competitive golf in November held a one-shot lead in the Open at Carnoustie and finished just two behind Brooks Koepka at Bellerive Country Club.

"I was in contention in the last two majors and would never have foreseen that a year ago," Woods said. "At the beginning of the year if you would say I would have a legit chance to win the last two major championships, I'd say with what swing? I didn't have a swing at the time. I had no speed."
