Tiger Woods, a 15-time major winner and one of the world’s top golfers, has been confirmed as one of the 156 starters for next week’s 106th PGA Championship at Valhalla. The tournament will feature some of the best golfers in the world, including Woods, who recently finished 60th at last month’s Masters and has expressed his desire to compete more frequently.
Woods, who has struggled with injuries since a car crash in 2021, withdrew after three rounds in the PGA Championship in 2022 due to injury. However, he has accepted a special invitation to play in next month’s US Open and is looking forward to competing at Valhalla.
The lineup for this year’s tournament includes 33 major winners, with 16 of them having previously won the PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy is another top player in the world rankings who has won a PGA Championship at Valhalla in 2014. Other notable players include Scottie Scheffler, defending champion Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and Cameron Smith.
In addition to established players like Woods and McIlroy, the field also includes several up-and-coming golfers like Talor Gooch. Gooch finished second last year but missed out on qualifying for this year’s tournament by just one stroke. He will be looking to improve on his performance from last year and make it into the top contenders for this year’s championship.
Overall, the lineup for next week’s PGA Championship promises to be an exciting showdown between some of the world’s best golfers. With so much talent on display at Valhalla, anything can happen when it comes to who will come out on top and take home the coveted trophy.
