CHASKA, Minn. - Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington will play together in the first two rounds of the PGA Championship at Hazeltine, the second major this year they have been paired together.

Woods and Harrington, who have combined to win five of the last nine majors, also played together at the U.S. Open. Joining them next week will be Rich Beem, who won the PGA Championship when it was last held at Hazeltine in 2002.

The PGA Championship, which starts Thursday, kept its traditional grouping of the year’s three major champions — Angel Cabrera (Masters), Lucas Glover (U.S. Open) and Stewart Cink (British Open).

Phil Mickelson will play with Paul Azinger and David Toms.
