Is Tiger Woods playing in the 2025 PGA Championship after Achilles injury?
Is Tiger Woods playing in the 2025 PGA Championship after Achilles injury? It's time for the 2025 PGA Championship. The second men's major championship of the year begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, where 156 golfers will battle it out for a chance to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy. However, one of the most notable champions isn't going to be in the Queen City. Tiger Woods ruptured his Achilles in March and will be one of numerous past PGA champions not playing. Tiger Woods Achilles injury update Woods, the 15-time major champion, ruptured his left Achilles while ramping up training to return to competitive golf. He underwent a successful procedure to repair the tendon, which Woods deemed minimally invasive. Woods is expected to make a full recovery, per Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, who performed the surgery. There's no timetable for Woods' return, though he's likely not to play until later this year or early in 2026. Will Tiger Woods attend the PGA Champions Dinner? It's unlikely Woods attends the PGA Champions Dinner, as he was not in attendance at the Masters Champions Dinner, which is a more notable evening of past champs gathering. How many times has Tiger Woods missed the PGA? This will be the sixth time Tiger Woods has missed the PGA Championship in his career since making his debut in 1997. He missed playing in 2008, 2016, 2017, 2021, 2023, and now 2025. Since finishing runner-up at Bellerive in 2018, he has missed the cut twice and withdrew after the third round in 2022 at Southern Hills. How many times has Tiger Woods won the PGA? Woods has won the PGA four times, his first coming in record fashion in 1999 for his second overall major title. His wins came in pairs, the first in 1999 and 2000, the latter being the third of four straight for his Tiger Slam, and the next two PGA wins coming in 2006 and 2007.

Rory McIlroy gives insight on what he'll serve at Masters Champions Dinner in 2026
Rory McIlroy gives insight on what he'll serve at Masters Champions Dinner in 2026 What's for dinner? Rory McIlroy still has nearly a year until his menu will be served at the Champions Dinner on the Tuesday of Masters week. But that doesn't mean he hasn't already started plotting what could be on deck for the past champions in their green jackets. It's one of the traditions unlike any other at Augusta National for the winner to pick the food at the winners-only dinner and pick up the tab. It was Ben Hogan's idea, and he kicked things off in 1952 to what has become one of the most exclusive and coolest nights of the year in golf. McIlroy, who won the Masters in a dramatic playoff last month to complete the career Grand Slam and win his fifth major, made the rounds in New York City earlier this week, and on Friday morning he appeared on NBC's Today show. Carson Daly, who grew up getting schooled by Tiger Woods in junior tournaments in Southern California, asked McIlroy about his Champions Dinner menu plans and the Northern Irishman didn't deflect but rather gave some insight on where he could be headed in designing the meal? Irish soda bread or stew? McIlroy didn't suggest he would be headed down the knee-jerk reaction of forming his meal around a collection of his native country's greatest hits. 'I've been into like wild game recently, so like venison, elk, stuff like that,' McIlroy said. 'I don't know if that might be in it. That sorta fueled this run, so maybe something like that.' Sounds like McIlroy has been taking a page out of the old Billy Casper playbook, which earned him the nickname Buffalo Bill. In any event, wild game should go just fine with potatoes.

Zach Johnson left Masters Champions Dinner feeling 'not very comfortable'
When it came to being indulgent at last week's Masters Champions Dinner, Zach Johnson didn't hesitate. Calling into Colt Knost's SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show, 'Gravy and the Sleeze,' Johnson provided some insight into the annual Tuesday night dinner at Augusta National that is reserved for past champions only. Advertisement As the defending green-jacker winner, Scottie Scheffler served up a menu that included cheeseburger slider, firecracker shrimp, meatball and ravioli bites, and warm chocolate chip skillet cookies. The mains were woodfired cowboy ribeyes and blackened redfish, of which most people in the room ordered one or the other. Not Johnson or Jordan Spieth. Johnson ate so much, in fact, that he left extremely stuffed. 'It's my favorite reservation of the year, for obvious reasons, and I love to eat,' Johnson said. 'Scottie's meal was amazing. I walked out of there not very comfortable, but that's the intent. I eat way too much.' The extra helping helped; Johnson went on to tie for eighth, his best Masters finish since he won in 2007. Huge steaks, spicy chili, very tame: Inside the 2025 Masters Champions Dinner Advertisement Several past Masters champions dished on Tuesday night's Masters Champions Dinner inside the Augusta National clubhouse. Asked what advice he'd give to next year's host, Rory McIlroy, Johnson said, 'Bring it!' 'Whatever you want, bring it. We'll eat it,' Johnson said. 'I mean, the guys will appreciate it. So, it'll be a heavy bill, but you're going to want to pay for it again and again and again. That's also the beauty of it. But, I mean, incorporate who you are. That'd be my advice. Like, I don't know if you can do that in food, but you don't have to worry about everybody. Everybody's got different palates. 'So just do what you think is best and have fun making the menu because it's not like you get to do it every year necessarily. You know, Rory could sit at the head of that table a few more times, for sure. But relish the first one because it's special.'
