TULSA, Okla. – Aside from Jack Nicklaus, comparing any golfer to Tiger Woods is risky business. Still, Will Zalatoris arrived at Southern Hills Country Club ahead of the 2022 PGA Championship having something in common with the 15-time major winner.
When Woods won the 2007 PGA Championship on these rolling, sunbaked fairways, he arrived in Tulsa ranked No. 1 in Strokes Gained: Approach the green. He was the best iron player on tour.
This week it’s Zalatoris, 25, who holds that distinction.
