POI'PU, Kaua'i — Tiger Woods can't visualize playing the PGA Grand Slam of Golf anywhere but here on the Garden Island.

After all, he has made the Poi'pu Bay Golf Course his own personal playground with his sixth PGA Grand Slam title in seven appearances, pushing his earnings in the event to $2.65 million after pocketing $400,000 yesterday.

Woods ran away with a slam-dunk, seven-stroke victory after an 8-under-par 64 for a 36-hole total of 131.

"It was kind of a fun, friendly round. It wasn't much of a competition going on out there," said PGA Championship winner Phil Mickelson, who shot a 68 to finish second at 138 and earn $250,000.

U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell came back with a 70 for a 143 to edge Vijay Singh, runner-up in three previous appearances here, by one stroke. Campbell earned $200,000 and Singh $150,000.

It was the first time since 1994, the event's first year at the Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, that all of the Grand Slam foursome shot par or better.

But it was all Tiger's show as he treated a gallery of 7,500 — the second largest here since 1997 — with an amazing display of shot-making skills tempered with savvy course management.

He played the par-5 holes in 10-under over both days, eagling the sixth and 14th yesterday after reaching the green in two.

"I dropped a bomb there (at the sixth hole)," said Woods, who sank a 55-foot putt after hitting a 5-iron from 229 yards on his second shot.

At the 537-yard 14th, which played into a brisk tradewind, Woods smoked a 3-wood 244 yards to 12 feet for his second eagle of the round.

It wasn't just brute strength. At the driveable par-4 13th, shortened to 311 yards yesterday, Woods laid up with a 7-iron while the other three went for the green. He still birdied the hole, while Mickelson and Campbell landed safely on the green but had to settle for two-putt birdies.

For good measure, Woods posted two deuces at the par-3 third and 11th holes, stoning a 6-iron to 2 feet on the latter. That ended any hopes of a repeat victory for Mickelson, who double-bogeyed the hole.

And, Woods said his game still hasn't "got there" yet, which is bad news for those trying to keep up with the seven-time PGA Player of the Year.

"You never get there. That's the thing about this sport," Woods said. "Anytime you think you've arrived, quit. You always got to continue to try better. That's what's exciting about tomorrow, the fact I can be better tomorrow than I am today."

As for his dominance at Poi'pu Bay, Woods said, "I feel comfortable on this golf course. I've played it in different wind conditions, the kona, the trades. I've played in stroke play, I've played in match play. You play enough times, you get familiar with the golf course."

That's why he doesn't mind if the event remains here.

"Well, I think this is a wonderful place. I mean, everyone loves to come to Hawai'i," answered Woods, when asked about the possibility of the PGA Grand Slam moving elsewhere next year.

"I think it would be, put it this way, I'd like to keep qualifying for this event. Hopefully, I can keep coming back here."

Qualifying is the operative word for the elite event since you've got to win a major to be eligible.

Woods ran off five straight victories here from 1998 through 2002, but his streak was on hold until yesterday because he failed to win a major in 2003, and again in 2004.

He became the first to qualify for the PGA Grand Slam this year by winning the Masters. His winning the British Open for his second major of the year enabled Singh to join the field as an alternate.

"I'm fond of this place. It's the only place I've played the Grand Slam," said Woods, whose only non-winning performance came in 1997 when he finished second to Ernie Els.
