With the second major golf championship of the year kicking off in just 10 days, it's becoming clearer which big names will likely be attending. 

The official field list was announced Monday for next week's PGA Championship at Southern Hills Championship Golf Course, which included both Tiger Woods and defending champion Phil Mickelson. 

Speculation of Woods competing in the tournament grew after he was spotted at the Oklahoma course last month as part of a scouting trip. Woods was joined by Southern Hills director of golf Cary Cozby as they walked and checked out the course for the first time since his victory there in the 2007 PGA Championship.

"Everything is so smooth with him now," Cozby said, via Golf Oklahoma. "His rhythm is great, he hit it straight and plenty far, he pitched and putted it great. I know guys can hit it past him now but watching him work was amazing. He’s so meticulous, detailed, and immersed in what he’s doing. He was very inquisitive on lines and the best angles."

Woods competed in the Masters last month, and despite finishing toward the bottom of the leaderboard, it showed he could go all 72 holes against high-level competition since suffering devastating leg injuries in a February 2021 car crash.
