Notably, Woods advanced to two of the three major championships he attended this season. And Spiranac thought those were almost impossible moments considering how bad his accident was. Even though it is not a surprise, the introduction of the new LIV Golf Invitational Series also made it to her list of memorable instances of the year.

After serving as the Player Advisory Council chairman in 2021, Rory McIlroy has now taken up the role of one of the four-player directors this year. He has also been one of the prominent players to speak out against the LIV Golf Invitational Series whenever they pose a threat to the PGA Tour.
He has also won the 2022 Tour Championship, the season-end event on the PGA Tour. McIlroy won it after a fierce battle as he entered the tournament with a 6-shot deficit. With his win, he could also win his third FedExCup title.
