The 2024 PGA Championship is taking place at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, with Tiger Woods returning to the tournament after missing it in 2022 due to injuries. Woods, a four-time PGA Championship winner, tees off alongside Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott. Scottie Scheffler, the current World No. 1, is also in the field after winning the Masters earlier in the year.
Throughout the first round, Xander Schauffele has taken the lead with several birdies, while Tiger Woods has had an up-and-down front nine, finishing even par. Other notable players, such as Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, have also had mixed starts.
The leaderboard is crowded with competitors like Luke Donald, Doug Ghim, and Matt Wallace all making strong early showings. The course conditions, with difficult Par 3 holes causing challenges for golfers, add an extra layer of complexity to the tournament.
Live updates, Tiger Woods’ performance, leaderboard standings, and highlights are all being covered by USA TODAY Sports. The tournament has been delayed slightly due to fog, but TV coverage is available on ESPN and CBS, with online streaming options also accessible for viewers to follow the action. With a mix of seasoned veterans like Tiger Woods and up-and-coming stars like Scottie Scheffler, the 2024 PGA Championship promises an exciting and competitive event.
