The 106th PGA Championship at Valhalla is set to feature a star-studded lineup, with Tiger Woods among the top golfers set to compete. Woods, a 15-time major winner, has shown signs of improvement with a 60th place finish in the Masters and intends to play more tournaments leading up to the US and British Opens.
The PGA field comprises 33 major winners, with 16 of them being former PGA Championship winners. Two spots in the 156-player field are still open for winners of this week’s PGA Tour events. In addition to Woods, top-ranked Scottie Scheffler will also be competing in the championship after winning the Masters last month.
The lineup also includes defending champion Brooks Koepka, who is one of 16 players from the LIV Golf League participating in the tournament. Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson are also among the notable players set to compete.
Last year’s LIV season champion Talor Gooch will be making his fifth consecutive appearance at the PGA Championship. The field also includes 21 club professionals and 20 qualifiers. Michael Block, who finished 15th last year, will also be returning to compete in this year’s championship at Valhalla.
As one of golf’s greatest legends, Woods’ presence adds a lot of excitement and anticipation for this event. His return from severe leg injuries is nothing short of remarkable and he has proven that he still has what it takes to compete against some of the world’s best golfers.
The PGA Championship at Valhalla promises to be an unforgettable event as fans get ready to witness some incredible golfing action from some of the best players in the game today.
