We’ve all heard about the six degrees of Kevin Bacon — even Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy has gotten in on that action — but have you tried to tie everything in golf to Tiger Woods?
It’s kind of uncanny.
So, as the dog days of winter set in and you sit next to the fireplace daydreaming of tee-time treasures, we’ve got a trio of aerials that will give you some Tiger-driven ideas.
Here are our Terrific (Tiger) Three:
Payne’s Valley
Payne’s Valley has quickly become a major attraction for Big Cedar Lodge, as the handiwork of Tiger Woods and his team is downright impressive.

Check out our exclusive aerial tour of Tiger’s masterpiece:
TPC Sawgrass
Justin Thomas will tee it up in Tampa this coming weekend as part of The Match, which will also feature his partner Jordan Spieth as they take on Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. JT is the defending champion at The Players Championship (where Tiger has also won twice), which is hosted at The PLAYERS Stadium Course TPC Sawgrass, where the Travel Caddie is a frequent visitor. While No. 17 deservedly captures the hearts of the golf world, the entire finishing stretch will test even the best of golfers . . .

He finished second here in 2018, giving the Tour a jolt as he came back from injury. This is known as one of the more difficult courses on the PGA Tour, but it’s pretty cool to be able to step into the same tee boxes as Tiger. Here’s a look:
