Tiger Woods will be back in a major golf tournament for the second time in 2022.
Woods appeared at the 2022 Masters, his first major appearance since a near-fatal February 2021 car crash, and made the cut after the first two rounds, though he began to fall back late, finishing in 47th at 13 over par.
Woods is now set to appear at the 2022 PGA Championship, which is being held at the site where he won the event the last time, the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
He’s starting Round 1 in a challenging group, including two of the top contenders for the 2022 PGA Championship. Joining him at the 10th hole at 9:11 a.m. ET will be Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. McIlroy is the only other golfer in the field besides Woods with multiple wins (McIlroy won in 2012 and 2014; Woods’ four wins trail only Jack Nicklaus’ and Walter Hagen’s five wins for the most). Spieth has never won the PGA Championship.
The Sporting News is tracking scores and highlights from Tiger Woods and his group, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, from the first round of the 2022 PGA Championship. Follow along for coverage of their day at the Southern Hills Country Club.

Hole 12, Par 4
Shot 2: Another good approach by Woods. He drops his iron shot on the green in range for a potential putt for birdie, but a more likely two-putt for par. Spieth with a really nice approach, setting himself up with an uphill putt for birdie. But McIlroy’s shot sets him up better than either of them. He drops his shot inside two feet from the pin as he will have a great chance at a birdie.
Shot 1: Woods sends his first shot off the tee as a 150 mph line drive. Spieth yanks his shot far wide to the left, but it sticks on the fairway. McIlroy also sends his far up the fairway, setting himself up closest to the green after the first shot.
Hole 11, Par 3
Shot 3: Woods and McIlroy finish the 11th holes with tap-ins. Spieth wraps up with the putt for par as well.
Shot 2: Strong putt by Spieth to set himself up for a close putt for par on his next shot. Woods’ birdie putt trickles just wide to the left, but it’ll be an easy shot to make for par. McIlroy’s try for birdie also comes up just short.
Shot 1: Woods drops his opening shot in the middle of the green. Spieth’s shot starts to trickle toward the edge of the green, but stays on. McIlroy’s shot is closer to Woods’ on the green.
Hole 10, Par 4
Shot 4: McIlroy and Spieth both finish with par.
Shot 3: McIlroy’s putt comes up just short. He’ll just need to tap it in for par. Spieth’s putt also is just short of the hole. Woods birdies on the 10th hole with the easy putt. Perfect start to his day.

Shot 2: McIlroy lands on the green, but it starts to roll a bit away from the pin. Spieth also has a nice approach on the green, though his ball too picks up some speed as it rolled down the slope. Woods’ shot was by far the best. He dropped the ball just a few feet away from the hole, and will have an excellent chance at a birdie on the first hole.
