If you look closely there between Y.E. Yang and Phil Mickelson, the ghost of Tiger Woods is there at the 2015 PGA Championship Champions Dinner

Love how John Daly was enlisted to act as a floral backdrop for the Wannamaker. Nice touch. Wait, maybe Dan Pino had it right, Tiger's the photographer!

**In Tiger's defense, my understanding is that the dinner table is joined by past PGA Presidents, PGA Board members, officers, spouses, partners and heaven knows who else. I still think he should show, but I certainly understand why he would pass.

As for his game, Woods went out early today at Whistling Straits to get ready. As I noted here at GolfDigest.com, his press conference revealed a player who is sounding more realistic about chipping away at his bad habits and hangups, which is both refreshing and encouraging.

Bob Harig had a similar take at ESPN.com.
