After the second round of the PGA Championship, Jon Rahm of LIV Golf and Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion, failed to make the cut.
In the first round, Rahm and Woods were on the wrong end of a one-under cut, which was the first under-par cut in PGA Championship history, when play was suspended due to darkness.
Among others missing the cut were Masters runner-up Ludvig Aberg, U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and Michael Block, the club professional who stole the show at last year’s PGA Championship by finishing in a share of 15th place.
Tiger Woods and Rahm
Despite the unfortunate results, Elias Sports Bureau reports that former Masters champion Rahm had the longest active sequence of major-league cuts (18 in a row).
Moreover, Woods claimed he is recovering and that his playing will improve after he suffered a car wreck in 2021.
“I need to play more. Unfortunately, I just haven’t played a whole lot of tournaments, and not a whole lot of tournaments on my schedule either. Hopefully, everything will somehow come together in my practice sessions at home and be ready for Pinehurst,” the athlete admitted.
Woods added: “Just keep fighting… Keep the pedal on, keep fighting, keep grinding, keep working hard at posting the best score that I can possibly post today. That’s all I can do. It’s going to be a lot, but I’m going to fight until the end.”
