When the field for the 2023 PGA Championship was announced on Wednesday, one big-time name was missing:

Tiger Woods.

That the 47-year-old is not in the field for the second major championship of the season, which will be played next week at Oak Hill Country Club outside of Rochester, came as no surprise.

On April 19, Woods had right ankle surgery, which also appears likely to keep him out of the next two majors, the U.S. Open in June and the British Open in July.

When we last saw Woods, a 15-time major winner, he was limping badly at the Masters last month.

He ended up withdrawing midway through the tournament, citing an aggravation of a previous plantar fasciitis injury in his right foot as the reason.

That same injury had also forced him to withdraw from the Hero World Challenge in December of 2022.

He recently announced that he underwent fusion surgery on a bone in his right ankle to address his post-traumatic arthritis from a talus bone fracture suffered in his single-car crash in 2021. Woods has been limited in playing tournaments since that crash, which required his leg to be rebuilt.

He has also has had multiple knee and back operations.

This has not been a very good stretch for Woods, who’s also embroiled in a legal dispute with ex-girlfriend Erica Herman, who is trying to nullify a non-disclosure agreement she signed when she started dating him in August 2017. She also has accused Woods of sexual harassment.

She filed a lawsuit in October against a trust for Woods’ residence seeking $30 million in damages, claiming she was forced to leave his Florida home.

Benjamin Hobas, Herman’s lawyer, said Woods “tricked her into leaving her home, locked her out, took her cash, pets, and personal possessions, and tried to strong-arm her into signing a different NDA.”

The PGA Championship, which includes 99 of the top 100 in the world rankings in its field, begins next Thursday and runs through May 21.

This will be the third time in the past seven years Woods will have missed the PGA, which he has won four times, due to injuries.

After he made the cut at the 2022 PGA at Southern Hills, he withdrew from the tournament before the final round, when temperatures were dropping rapidly and making it difficult for his injured leg to function.

Woods said in a statement last month that he had a “subtalar fusion procedure to address his post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture,” leftover injury from his car crash.

While Woods is out, three-time major champion Jordan Spieth is listed in the PGA field though he has withdrawn from the PGA Tour’s AT&T Byron Nelson this week with an injury.

Spieth won the Masters and the U.S. Open in 2015 before winning the British Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017, so he needs only a PGA Championship victory to become the sixth player to achieve the Grand Slam.

The 29-year-old Spieth missed the cut at the Wells Fargo Championship last week and cited a wrist injury as his reason for withdrawing from the event this week in Texas.

He said the injury needs evaluation “week to week.’’

“The AT&T Byron Nelson means the absolute world to me and I’m disappointed to miss it this week,” Spieth wrote in a social media post. “Playing in front of family & friends in Dallas is one of the highlights of my year, and the tournament staff and volunteers are second to none. I’m focused on healing as quickly as possible and will have to evaluate my recovery week to week.’’
