Tiger Woods (47) was not on the full field list for next week's PGA Championship, the golf major's organisers said on Wednesday, as the 15-times major champion continues to recover from ankle surgery.

Woods, who withdrew from the Masters midway through last month's tournament due to injury, underwent fusion surgery on a bone in his ankle to address his post-traumatic arthritis from a previous talus bone fracture.

The 47-year-old has limited his participation in events following a 2021 car crash which required his leg to be rebuilt. He has also had multiple knee and back operations.

Due to the latest of those operations, he won't have the chance to try and win the PGA Championship for a fifth time, with him last doing so all the way back in 2007.

The tournament, the second major of the year, takes place from May 18 to May 21 in Rochester.

The next major after that will be the US Open from June 15 to 18. Whether Woods will be fit for that is not yet clear.
