The 2022 PGA Championship will be the 104th PGS Championship, to be held from May 19–22 at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

 

The field for the PGA Championship is sometimes regarded as the strongest in professional golf, routinely having the highest “strength of field rating” of the year.

 

A number of qualification criteria are used to determine the field, which includes past PGA champions, recent major winners, top finishers in the 2021 event, Ryder Cup players, tournament and leading money winners, club or teaching professionals.

 

Southern Hills returns as host for the PGA Championship for the first time in 15 years. Tiger Woods won that event in 2007 under the blistering heat, but this is a longer, more challenging track than 15 years ago.

As usual, the mere presence of Woods this week is a story — and maybe the story — entering the tournament. It’s just his second event since sustaining significant injuries in a car crash early last year.

 

Woods made the cut at the Masters six weeks ago in his official return to golf but wore down as the week went on, so the terrain at this hilly course will be a real challenge. He’ll begin his week in a star-studded group next to Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. 

 

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, looking to win a second consecutive major after taking home the green jacket a month ago, will also be one to watch this week in an even more star-studded group. His Round 1 will get underway next to World No. 2 Jon Rahm and World No. 3 Collin Morikawa.

Golf ? I'd rather watch a PM Friday night special

Obviously one big name missing.

 

The defending champion.

 

Though I'm sure he's placed bets on the winner.

 

 

I'll be watching a bit of the tournament. I actually enjoy the LPGA more. Far more Zen to me.

A "Star Studded Field" ...in a Major of all places ..who,d have thought.??
