TULSA, Okla. — The second of four major championships this golf season begins Thursday morning with the 2022 PGA Championship teeing off at Southern Hills. With a star-studded field led by 2007 PGA Championship winner Tiger Woods — who captured that crown at this very course the lsat time it hosted a major — and a cast of former champions at the event ranging from Brooks Koepka to Collin Morikawa, there’s no shortage of storylines this week with the Wanamaker Trophy set to change hands.
Reigning champion Phil Mickelson’s curious absence looms over the event like a shadow after a late withdrawal, but the old guard will be well-represented still with Woods. He’s six weeks removed from a slow finish to the Masters, where he made the cut in his first appearance in more than a year. Meanwhile, the young wave is threatening to make this week plenty interesting with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler looking to win his second consecutive major, World No. 2 Jon Rahm aiming to grab his second straight win after a victory in Mexico to open the month, and World No. 3 Collin Morikawa aiming to grab his second major at the still-ripe age of 25. Oh, by the way, all three are grouped together to open play.
