Furious PGA Tour pro asks for Tiger Woods’ help
PGA Tour pro Adam Schenk clearly wasn’t happy with one thing after competing in Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour event.
The golfer took to X to implore Woods to ask the powers that be to make some changes to the fourth hole at Riviera Country Club.
That hole, a 236-yard par-3, ranked as the third hardest hole on the course at the Genesis Invitational, with players averaging a score of 3.211.
Only 11 birdies were made on the hole throughout the week, with 63 bogeys recorded.
The troublesome par-3 is not only long, but also well protected, with a monstrous bunker laying in wait for any errant tee shots.

Through the back on a number of occasions players hit what they thought to be good shots only to see their ball hit the hard green and trundle off the back leaving an up and down for par as the best possible result what shank’s recommendation would do is allow golfers
