A season that saw Tiger Woods capture his 15th major title by winning the Masters came to a close Sunday for the 43-year-old star at the PGA BMW Championship.

Woods fired a final-round par 72 over the same Medinah course where he won the 1999 and 2006 PGA Championships to finish 72 holes on seven-under 281.

It means Woods won't qualify to defend his title at next week's season-ending US PGA Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.

"It was a little bit frustrating," Woods said.

"Didn't have the short game I needed to make a run." The result left Woods beyond 40th in the US PGA season playoff points standings with only the top 30 advancing to next week's season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta.

"Some of the tournaments I didn't play as well as I wanted to," Woods said.

"But I've got the green jacket."
