PGA Championship Live Blog: Tracking Tiger Woods, Leaders at TPC Harding Park


Follow along live as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and the field at TPC Harding Park kick off the first major of 2020.

The first major of 2020 will begin on Thursday when the PGA Championship tees off at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. Harding Park will host the PGA Championship for the first time this year, but the field has significant experience at the course. Rory McIlroy won the WGC-Match Play at Harding Park in 2015, and Tiger Woods won the 2005 WGC-American Express Championship there a decade later. Perhaps the familiarity will bode well for the headliners over the weekend. 

Woods enters Thursday seeking his 16th major and fifth PGA Championship. He most recently won the tournament in 2007 at Southern Hills in Tulsa.
