This year, the tournament will be held at Pebble Beach. Woods also announced on Twitter that he plans to play in the inaugural ZOZO Championship in Japan this October.

With Woods recent Masters victory, the PGA Championship is a highly anticipated event as it looks like it will be Woods’ first tournament since Augusta. Woods’ massive private yacht is already docked in New York in preparation for the tournament.
