The last golf major of the year starts today at Quail Hollow, in Charlotte NC. The usual suspects are there: Jordan Spieth (looking for a PGA win to complete his personal golf major “grand slam:”); Rory McIlroy (who’s been sensational on this course); Dustin Johnson (recovered from the fall that took him out of The Masters); Jason Day (who hopes to get it going, finally, in 2017); and Masters champion Sergio Garcia (could he pick up another major this week?). The course is long (7600 yard), tricky (tough greens), and mentally challenging.
This year’s PGA has the chance to be classic, so you’ll need some information to enjoy the full dimensions of the event.
It’s all here, starting with video coverage of the tournament.
