Defending champion Keegan Bradley is off to an excellent start, along with some other notable stars like Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Here is everything you need to know to make sure you don't miss a second of this weekend's thrilling action from Kiawah Island.

Contenders to Watch This Weekend
Keegan Bradley
Bradley is the reigning PGA Championship winner and got off to a hot start at Ocean Course on Thursday, finishing the first round 4-under and just a couple strokes back of the leaders.
Bradley's eagle on hole No. 11 proved that he came to win again in 2012. The 26-year-old certainly has the game necessary to challenge the world's best.
Expect the 2011 champion to be in the thick of things all weekend long, as he seems to have found a home at the PGA Championship.
Graeme McDowell
The Northern Ireland native cranked out seven birdies during Thursday's first round, and he looks to be on a solid pace heading into the weekend.
McDowell tied for 10th at the PGA Championship in 2009, but has missed the last two cuts at the prestigious major. It will be very interesting to see how he handles the ups and downs at Kiawah this weekend.
The 2010 US Open champion has come dangerously close to winning the season's last two major tournaments. McDowell finished tied for second at the US Open in June, and tied for fifth at the British Open last month.
Tiger Woods
Of course, golf fans will have to be on the lookout for Tiger Woods. The 14-time major champion has won four PGA Championships during his career, and can tie Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen for the most all-time with a fifth.
Woods finally broke through this season after a lengthy drought. Tiger has three PGA tournament wins to his name and is the No. 1-ranked player on the PGA money list heading into this weekend.
His confidence looks to be back, and that makes him a real threat to hoist the trophy at Ocean Course on Sunday. I liked Tiger's chances coming into the tournament, and his solid Round 1 on Thursday gives me even more reason to believe that he'll be battling the leaders this weekend.
