Tiger Woods to miss PGA Championship

Ailing Tiger Woods pulled out of the PGA Championship on Tuesday, meaning he will have missed out on all four majors this year because of injury. The former world number one has been side-lined since last August because of back trouble that required surgery and he has since tumbled down to 628 in the world rankings. "We have been in contact with Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg, and he informed us today that our four-time PGA Champion will be unable to join us at Baltusrol Golf Club next week for the 98th PGA Championship," PGA of America said in a statement. The 14-time major champion Woods, who last won a major at the 2008 US Open, was among 112 players originally listed for the year's final major tournament on July 28-31 in Springfield, New Jersey.
