Tiger Woods competes for his 16th major title at the PGA Championship this week on a TPC Harding Park course he knows well but will have to cope with August temperatures he is unaccustomed to when cool San Francisco fog blankets the area.

"I've known that from all the years and times I've had to qualify up in this area... I think the weather forecast is supposed to be like this all week - marine layer, cool, windy -and we are all going to have to deal with it."
