Tiger Woods left out of field for 2023 PGA Championship

The 105th PGA Championship will tee off from Rochester, New York’s Oak Hill Country Club on May 18 featuring a field of 155 players — including 18 from LIV Golf.

Tiger Woods is not one of them.

The biggest name in golf was left off the list of players competing in the season’s second major event. Woods has not played a tournament since withdrawing ahead of the final round of the Masters in April. He underwent surgery to address post-traumatic arthritis shortly after the event on April 19.

Woods has previously commented that he only intends to play major tournaments along with a few select stops moving forward — such as the Genesis Invitational he hosts. Last year, the 47-year-old played three rounds at the PGA Championship before withdrawing.

Even if he were healthy enough to play, Woods would have been far from a favorite to make the cut, let alone win the major.

Masters champion Jon Rahm (+750) enters the PGA Championship with the best odds to win, followed by Scottie Scheffler (+800) and Rory McIlroy (+1100).
