LOS ANGELES. — Former world No. 1 golfer Tiger Woods and defending champion Phil Mickelson were both named in the field for next week’s PGA Championship on Monday. Defending champion Mickelson and 15-time major winner Woods have been named in the 156-man field for the US PGA Championship in Oklahoma.
Woods returned to competitive golf at the Masters in April, 14 months after suffering life-threatening injuries in a car crash.
Mickelson, who has been on a break from golf after criticising Saudi Arabia’s regime, last played in February.
Woods, who made a dramatic return from injuries sustained in a 2021 car crash at last month’s Masters, has not played since his final round at Augusta.
The 15-time major winner — including the PGA Championship in 1999, 2000, 2006 and 2007 – is yet to confirm he will tee it up at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the second major of the 2022 campaign, on May 19-22.
The buzz about Woods’ possible participation at Southern Hills intensified after he played a practice round at the course recently. — Mailonline
