"I'm definitely lazy" - Tiger Woods' reason behind sporting a goatee at the PGA Championship

Tiger Woods arrives at Valhalla Golf Club for the 2024 PGA Championship rocking a goatee. Wood's new look sparked many conversations all over social media and gave fans a throwback to Tiger Woods' similar look in 2000.

Daniel Rapaport asked Tiger Woods at the 2024 PGA Championship's press conference about his goatee. Woods immediately chuckles as he hears the word goatee and responds to Rapaport's question on whether the style was a "conscious" or "lazy" choice. Woods said:

"It's the second. I'm definitely lazy...I cut myself this morning trying to trim it up so it is what it is."

Some fans speculate that Tiger Woods is sporting a goatee as a superstition or a lucky charm to get him his fifth PGA Championship victory. Woods had a goatee when he won the 2000 PGA Championship that was also played at Valhalla Golf Club.
