PGA Championship 2024 tee times: Pairings for the first and second round
The PGA Championship has never been a major where the phrase “par is your friend” necessarily applied. To wit: In the three previous visits the PGA of America has made to Valhalla Golf Club—1996, 2000 and 2014—the average winning score in relation to par has been 15 under. And each successive time the event has been held, the winning aggregate score has fallen.
Take a look for yourself:
1996 PGA: Mark Brooks, -11/277 (won playoff over Kenny Perry)
2000 PGA: Tiger Woods, -18/270 (won playoff over Bob May)
2014 PGA: Rory McIlroy, -16/268 (1 over Phil Mickelson)
What then is in store for those competing at the 2024 PGA Championship this coming week in Louisville, Ky.? We’re guessing a getable course that will see its fair share of birdies.
Below are the 154 players already in the field for the championship. Two spots are being held for the winner of the Wells Fargo Championship and the Myrtle Beach Classic if he hasn’t already qualified.
Tee times for the first and second rounds have yet to be set, but check back here and we’ll have them posted as soon as they go live.
Valhalla Golf Club
Private Valhalla Golf Club Louisville, KY 4.6 102 Panelists
Given a difficult piece of land on which to create Valhalla (half the site was floodplain, with high-tension power poles), Jack Nicklaus drew on his training under Pete Dye and Desmond Muirhead to produce a unique design, with an alternate fairway par 5, a par 4 with an island green and an 18th green shaped like a horseshoe. Over the decades, Nicklaus returned periodically to update its challenges, and the club rebuilt bunkers and replaced its soft bent grass fairways with firmer, faster zoysia in 2022. Valhalla has proven to be a great championship site. It has hosted three thrilling PGA Championships, the latest Rory McIlroy’s win in 2014, and will host a fourth in 2024. View Course
