Tiger Woods will miss the upcoming PGA Championship, extending his absence from major tournaments as he continues to deal with personal and health-related challenges. His withdrawal means the 15-time major champion will skip yet another marquee event, with uncertainty still surrounding his return to competitive golf.
In contrast, Dustin Johnson has been handed a special invitation by organisers despite falling outside the usual qualification criteria. The move ensures the former world No.1 remains part of the elite field and continues his long streak of appearances at major championships.
The reshuffled lineup also reflects a changing landscape in men’s golf, with several high-profile absentees opening doors for other players. As the tournament approaches, the spotlight will now shift to emerging contenders and returning veterans aiming to capitalise on a field missing some of its biggest names.
