There’s some mystery in the air this week at the PGA Championship. Southern Hills Country Club hosts the major for the fifth time, but the first since 2007, when Tiger Woods won his fourth Wanamaker Trophy in the scorching Tulsa heat. In 2018, the Perry Maxwell course underwent an extensive restoration from Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner. The duo thinned out many of the course’s trees and pushed fairway lines out to the original Depression-era dimensions.

“With freshly opened holes, new bunkers and exposed green edges,” writes Golf Digest architecture editor Derek Duncan, “Southern Hills won’t look or function much like the restricted layout that Tiger Woods dissected in 2007.”

The changes to the course even prompted Woods to come out early and try to get a sneak peek at what will be in store in the coming week.

How will Southern Hills play then compared to year’s past? Here’s what the winning scores were at the four previous PGA Championships played in Tulsa: 2007: Tiger Woods, -8/272; 1994: Nick Price, -11/269; 1982: Ray Floyd, -8/272; 1970: Dave Stockton, -1/279

Below are all the tee times for the first two rounds at Southern Hills.

Arguably the most notable name is the one missing from the list, the PGA of America announcing last Friday that defending champion Phil Mickelson had withdrawn from the championship as he continues his sabbatical from golf. With a win at Kiawah Island a year ago at age 50, Mickelson had become the oldest golfer ever to win a major.

Here are all the pairings for the players at Southern Hills this week.
