Tiger Woods has been listed in the preliminary field for this year's PGA Championship at Southern Hills, a little over two weeks on from his remarkable comeback at The Masters.
The 15-time Major champion defied the odds and doctors' expectations at Augusta National, making the cut for the 22nd consecutive time at the famous venue after rounds of 71 and 74. While he faltered at the weekend, there were enough signs of encouragement for his army of fans, with attention quickly turning to when we might next see the icon of the sport in action.
Woods is still recovering from horror injuries sustained in the early part of 2021 after he lost control of his car on a dangerous strip of LA road en route to a filming day at Riviera following the conclusion of that year's Genesis Invitational.
In his career to date, the 46-year-old has lifted the famous Wanamaker Trophy on four occasions between 1999 and 2007, with his most recent victory coming at this year's venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He last played the PGA Championship in 2020 at TPC Harding Park where he finished in a tie for 37th.
The full field will be set on May 9 with Woods exempt via his status as a past champion.
