The 2014 PGA Championship tees off on Thursday at Valhalla G.C. in Kentucky with one of the most blockbuster and, simultaneously, unpredictable groups in recent memory.
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and 2008 PGA Championship winner Padraig Harrington will be grouped together for the first two rounds of the tournament. Harrington has struggled mightily since 2009, a year after a two-major season, taking the Open Championship and Wanamaker trophy at Oakland Hills in Michigan. Woods, who has not won on the PGA Tour in a year, will be looking to snag a 15th major despite a back injury that kept him on the sidelines for much of the season. Mickelson, who was the surprise Open champion a year ago, has had a season-long hangover from winning his fifth major title.
The first three major champions of the year -- Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy -- are grouped together as well.
