You can't defend if you can't stand ... It is rare for the defending champion at a major to skip the tournament. But that will be the case when Tiger Woods misses the PGA Championship in August – the first time a major champion won’t defend since Payne Stewart died in a plane crash just four months after winning the 1999 U.S. Open. No other player has missed defense of the PGA since Ben Hogan, who won in 1948, then was involved in a near-fatal car accident in February 1949, causing him to miss the rest of the year.
