The top golfers in the world have one more chance to bring home a major title in 2014.

This year's PGA Championship will take place at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, where Tiger Woods won his title in 2000. While the superstar will try to challenge for his first major since 2008, a loaded field will be looking to bring home a title.

While there has been a bit of a youth movement in golf, the veterans have been stepping up when it counts. None of the last three major championships have been won by first-time winners.

As a result, fans should be focused the bigger names heading into the week. Here is a breakdown of expectations for the game's top stars.

 

Tiger Woods



The big question heading into the PGA Championship is whether Woods will even compete. The 14-time major champion was forced to withdraw from the Bridgestone Invitational:



Jason Sobel of Golf Channel noted the specific problem:



Bridgestone was only the third tournament Woods had competed in since undergoing back surgery, so this is something to keep an eye on. On the other hand, he has not ruled out competing at Valhalla:



If Woods does compete, he has the talent to beat anyone. Even when he is not playing well, he can be accurate off the tee and drain key putts to post a low score. He is also one year removed from winning five tournaments in 2013.

Unfortunately, the one thing he has struggled with this season is his ability to keep up his strong play over the duration of a tournament. Whether it is fatigue or simply his injuries getting worse, it has been hard for him to keep up his low scores heading into the weekend.

Assuming he plays in the tournament, expect him to start off with a solid score before fading down the stretch.

Predicted Scores: 69-72-74-73
