Justin Thomas Wins the 2022 PGA Championship

Justin Thomas clinched the 2022 PGA Championship title on Sunday, May 22, marking his second major victory after an exhilarating playoff.

Victory in the Playoff

Thomas finished the tournament at two-under after three intense playoff holes against fellow American Will Zalatoris at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Initially, Thomas concluded his round trailing the then-leader, Mito Pereira. However, Pereira’s unfortunate double bogey on the 18th hole, where he hit his drive into the water, set the stage for the playoff between Thomas and Zalatoris.

A Celebrated Return

After a thrilling finish, Thomas secured his second Wanamaker Trophy, having previously won it in 2017. This victory not only highlights his exceptional skill but also marks a significant moment in his career, further establishing him as a top competitor in professional golf.

Challenges Faced by Tiger Woods

In a related development, Tiger Woods withdrew from the championship after the third round, following a career-low score. This event underscored the ongoing challenges he faces as he continues his recovery from serious leg injuries sustained in a car crash back in February 2021.
