Kohler (United States) (AFP) - Tiger Woods's bid to halt his run of missed major cuts took a hit on Thursday with a first-round 75 at the PGA Championship.

Woods, whose early exits at the US and British Opens marked the first time he missed two straight major championship cuts, will have work to do on Friday to make it to the weekend at Whistling Straits.
