PGA Championship 2022 live updates: Tiger Woods off to rough start on Saturday at Southern Hills | Golf News and Tour Information
After two days of some typically-hot weather in Tulsa, Okla., temperatures have dropped considerably on Saturday at the PGA Championship. Out with the buckets of sweat, in with the sweater vests and long sleeves at Southern Hills.
Due to dangerous weather in the area this morning, tee times were actually pushed back by 37 minutes. The first man off was Brian Harman, who is playing as a single in the third round. He pegged it at 7:37 a.m. central time, 8:37 a.m. ET.

It will be twosomes the rest of the way from there, all going off the par-4 first hole. Tiger Woods and Shaun Norris, teeing off nine groups after Harman, have gotten their third round underway. Jason Day, Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka are among the bigger names set to tee it up shortly after.
We’re still just over four hours from the leaders, with the final twosome of the day—Will Zalatoris and Mito Pereira—going off at 2:50 p.m. ET. While Zalatoris has gotten semi-used to this type of pressure by now, it will be Pereira’s first time on a stage this large, which will make it fascinating to watch.
PGA Championship 2022 live updates (all times eastern time):
10:52 a.m.: Tiger appeared poised to get one back at the fourth, where he pumped a drive that left him with just 71 yards to the flag. His controlled wedge shot was vintage Woods, his ball stopping on a dime and leaving him with about eight feet for birdie. But it caught the lip and missed. He settles for par to remain one over through four holes, four over for the week. Meanwhile, his partner, Norris, who hit his drive into a literal ditch, somehow muscled it on to the back edge of the green and then holed a BOMB for birdie. Sums up golf right there. Woods plays the hole perfectly and makes a disappointing par, Norris takes a wild route and somehow makes birdie.
10:34 a.m.: After pars at No. 1, both Tiger Woods and Shaun Norris found a creek off the tee at No. 2. Fortunately, they both avoided serious disaster, knocking their third shots on the green and two-putting for bogey. Woods, who was sweating like Shaq at the free-throw line on Thursday, is now decked out in long sleeves and his famous Nike sweater vest on a chilly day in Tulsa. The wind is already gusting early, too, which should make for a must-watch third round should it continue to gust this afternoon. It’s apparently cold enough for Louis Oosthuizen to break out the ski mask:
You can also tell how tough the conditions are by the fact that no one is making a serious climb up the leader board just yet. The low round on the course belongs to Webb Simpson, who is two under through four holes and two over for the championship. Of the 25 players on the course, only two others are under par today (Hideki Matsuyama and Sebastian Munoz).
