TULSA - Tiger Woods, who returned from injury at the Masters Tournament in April for his first Tour start since the 2020 Masters, is set to compete this week at the second Major of the 2022 pro golf circuit. Woods, who won the 2007 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club the last time it hosted a major, is tied for the most PGA TOUR wins of all-time (82) and trails only Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major championships by three. Woods enters the week No. 237 in the FedEx Cup standings and No. 818 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

The PGA of America announced on Saturday, May 14, that 2021 champion Phil Mickelson will not compete. The last time a defending champion did not play in a major was Rory McIlroy at the 2015 Open Championship. Mickelson last played on Tour at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open (MC).

Five players have won the Career Grand Slam and Jordan Spieth can become the sixth with a win. Spieth won the 2015 Masters Tournament, 2015 U.S. Open and 2017 Open Championship, and is making his sixth start in the PGA Championship since the 2017 Open (T-28/2017, T-12/2018, T-3/2019, T-71/2020, T-30/2021).

TL’s Wedge for an Edge: It’s a MAJOR, so I’m coming hard with all the favorites for the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland were must-picks. Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy round out the starting fearsome foursome. Reserves: Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas. For my Tour One and Done game at the PGA? It’ll be Rory McIlroy.
