1999 PGA Championship

Woods holds on to win PGA by one shot over Garcia

Woods fired an up-and-down 72 to shoot 11 under and win his second major title, but it was far from the blowout his first major victory was at the 1997 Masters. Spain's 19-year-old Sergio Garcia -- nicknamed "El Nino" -- did everything but catch Woods on Sunday, firing a 1-under 71 to finish one stroke off the lead in one of the most competitive and memorable major championships in recent history.
