PGA Championship 2023: 6 past champions who have withdrawn, including Tiger Woods

The 2023 PGA Championship is this week, with a full list of some huge names — including defending champion Justin Thomas — teeing it up at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York.

But there’s a growing list of notable names who won’t be there, and it includes a bunch of former champions who have pulled out of the event that tees up on Thursday.

So let’s take a look at who won’t be there, even though the list of who WILL be there is absolutely a who’s who of the game right now (and yes, it includes some LIV Golf members in the mix).
