We have reached the eve of the 2022 PGA Championship and all eyes are on Tiger Woods, making his first start since he made the cut at the Masters in April.
The PGA field is 156 players, and this list reflects the late Wednesday WD of Bryson DeChambeau, who was replaced by Denny McCarthy.
The Heat Index breakdown below takes into account the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings as well as the most recent Official World Golf Ranking.
The column labeled “Heat” is a player’s ranking based on his play over the past four months. That can help those of you looking to make a few friendly wagers pick a player who is trending.
So far in the 2021-22 PGA Tour season, the average ranking of the winner heading into the week in which he won a PGA Tour event has been 50.7 in the Golfweek/Sagarins and 54.3 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
