Woods, Koepka headline featured groups for 2019 PGA Championship

With the PGA Championship right around the corner, featured groups for the season's second major were announced Friday. Bethpage Black will host the top 100 players in the world for the first time in major championship history, barring any withdrawals over the next few days.

Here are the loaded featured groups that were released.

Thanks to his Masters win, Tiger Woods joins the other two most recent major champions, Brooks Koepka and Francesco Molinari, to create a formidable trio who will all likely be in the hunt for the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday.

Justin Thomas, Sergio Garcia, and Adam Scott grab an early Thursday tee time in their quest to add a second major win to their respective resumes.

Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, and Jason Day - all former PGA Championship winners - will head out Thursday afternoon.

Bombers Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm will be joined by three-time major winner Jordan Spieth, who is looking to complete the career grand slam for a third time at the PGA Championship.

The PGA Championship begins May 16 at Bethpage Black in New York.
