As the best players in the world descend upon Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the PGA Championship.

After returning to competition at the Masters in April, 14 months after nearly losing his right leg in a car crash, Tiger Woods looks set to tee it up again this week.

The last time the PGA Championship was held at Southern Hills was in 2007, when Woods triumphed by two shots to win the event for the fourth time but the layout has since undergone a dramatic renovation.In his last major, Scottie Scheffler enjoyed the biggest win of his career with a three-stroke Masters victory in April to extend an impressive run during which he won four times in six tournament starts.

The 25-year-old Scheffler has finished inside the top 10 in both of his PGA Championship appearances with his best showing coming in 2020 when he earned a share of fourth place.Jordan Spieth makes his sixth attempt at securing the victory that will make him only the sixth player to complete the coveted career Grand Slam of golf's four majors and arrives at Southern Hills full of confidence.

If Spieth can triumph at the PGA Championship, where his best result was a runner-up showing in 2015, he would join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in golf's elite club of Grand Slam winners.Four-times major champion Rory McIlroy will bring plenty of confidence to Southern Hills this week given he has recorded top-five finishes at his last two events, including a runner-up finish at the Masters.
