By Scott Rogust
Tiger Woods congratulated Justin Thomas for winning his second PGA Championship.
The final day of the 2022 PGA Championship was a memorable one, as Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris went to a three-hold playoff after tying at the conclusion of the 18th hole. Yet, it was Thomas who emerged victoriously, as he defeated Zalatoris to win the second PGA Championship of his career.
After the event concluded, Tiger Woods took to Twitter to congratulate Thomas on winning the PGA Championship. Woods also thanked Tulsa for the week.
Big congrats to @JustinThomas34! He kept himself in this championship until the very end and once he got his shot he didn’t look back. Thanks to Tulsa and the @PGAChampionship for a great week.

Tiger Woods congratulates Justin Thomas for winning PGA Championship
Woods was a competitor for the PGA Championship, but he withdrew after the third round, where he put up a score of 79 and dropped outside of the Top 70. That was also the worst score that Woods has ever recorded in his 22 appearances in the PGA Championship.
The 72nd hole of the tournament was eventful, to say the least. Mito Pereira had a one-shot lead over both Thomas and Zalatoris, but suffered an epic collapse in the final hole, as he shot a double bogey. He would have won his first major title if he shot for par. Instead, it went to the playoff between Thomas and Zalatoris.
Thomas was able to clinch his second-ever major by defeating Zalatoris by one shot.
After an epic performance, Woods had to give Thomas his flowers to secure his second PGA Championship.
