Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are the big stories ahead of this year's PGA Championship — but what can we expect once the action gets underway at the second major of the year?
at the top of the game, fans and players alike will be relieved to turn their attentions back to the course.
The first, of course, was at the Masters in April where Woods incredibly made the cut before fading over the weekend. While it was uncomfortable to watch a clearly hurting Tiger hobble around Augusta, it was magic to see him in action again. Saudi Arabia, the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the breakaway LIV Golf seriesMickelson has been taking time away from the game and despite some suggestion he might mark his return at this tournament, he will not be present to defend his title.At the moment, it's difficult to go past world number one and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who has been quite clearly the best golfer in the world in 2022.
Also worth consideration are other big names like Patrick Cantlay, Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas, but also guys like Sam Burns, Daniel Berger and Max Homa.Cameron Smith has been laying relatively low since his disappointing finish at the Masters, but he remains one of the hottest players in the world.If Smith can have a decent week with driver in hand, his outstanding iron play, short game and putting will put him in contention.
