In Tiger’s eyes… Tiger Woods at The Grove

While playing at The Grove, when we hosted the American Express World Golf Championship 2006, Tiger Woods described our greens as “quick with subtle undulations” and the fairways as “well-designed with a stadium feel to them”.                                     

He managed to eagle the 18^th hole on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the event and only just missed his fourth consecutive eagle on the Sunday, after leaving the ball inches from the hole. (This hole is now the 9^th hole). He shot 23 under par to win the event by 8 shots from Ian Poulter and Adam Scott.

The Grove Amateur Challenge – play like Tiger

Now, every year, from April to October, we host our Back on Black event so that you can play the course exactly as it was set up on the final day of the Championship, when Tiger won playing off the black tees, which are the hardest and longest shots.

You’ll see three plaques set into the fairway on the ninth hole showing the position of Tiger's 2^nd shot which lead to an Eagle on 3 of the 4 days. This PGA Tour record remains unbroken and unchallenged.
