Tiger Woods makes the cut for PGA Championship

By Mike Santa Barbara | Last updated 5/20/22

Tiger Woods has made the cut for the 2022 PGA Championship.

Woods, 46, struggled in the opening round but bounced back on day two to finish inside the top 65. Woods shook off the previous day's struggles, shooting a 69 in round two to advance to the weekend of the tour championship.

On Thursday, Woods bogeyed seven of his last 13 holes, shooting a 74 in the opening round.

Entering day two outside the top 100, Woods needed a solid effort to advance. Woods was clutch, birdieing holes 13 and 16 down the stretch of round two to clinch his spot in the final rounds.

Woods is a +3 for the tournament, tied for 52nd.

After an underwhelming first round, the four-time PGA Championship winner complained of pain in his right leg, the same leg which was severely damaged in a car accident last year.

"Loading hurts, pressing off it hurts, walking hurts, and twisting hurts," Woods said following the opening round. "It's just golf. I don't play that, if I don't do that, then I'm all right."

Last month, Woods returned to the tour, playing in the Masters after more than a year. Woods began the tournament shooting one-under-par to make the cut but finished the tournament 13 over par.
