Tiger Woods Set to Make Another Major Appearance at 2024 PGA Championship

Tiger Woods will once again grace the fairway of a major championship at the PGA Championship at Valhalla next week, marking his second major appearance of the season.

Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer who has amassed an impressive 15 major victories, is set to make his second major appearance of the season at the PGA Championship at Valhalla next week. The tournament will be held from May 16-19 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

Woods' return to Valhalla holds special significance as it was the site of his second consecutive PGA Championship victory in 2000, marking his fifth major title. In a thrilling playoff against Bob May, Woods emerged victorious, cementing his status as one of the greatest golfers of all time.

This year's PGA Championship will be Woods' first since accepting a special exemption to play in the upcoming U.S. Open tournament in June. The exemption came after a disappointing finish at the Masters last month.

Joining Woods at Valhalla will be fellow golf superstar Rory McIlroy, who claimed his second PGA Championship title at the same course in 2014. The tournament will also feature reigning champion Brooks Koepka, who will be aiming to defend his title for the third time after winning the major at Oak Hill last year.

Despite ongoing controversy surrounding LIV Golf, 16 players from the breakaway league will be participating in this year's PGA Championship, down from last year's 18. Phil Mickelson, a prominent figure in the LIV Golf movement, had previously expressed concerns about the future of the sport amidst the absence of LIV players in major championships.

Despite the presence of LIV Golf players, the PGA Championship remains committed to fielding the strongest lineup of the four majors. With all of the top 100 players in the world ranking expected to participate, the tournament promises to deliver an electrifying spectacle of golf.

The PGA Championship will provide another opportunity for Woods to showcase his continued determination and skill, while also reigniting the rivalry between him and fellow legends McIlroy and Koepka. The return of Valhalla to the PGA Championship stage adds an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement to the highly anticipated event.
