This week, the golf world entered a remarkable competition event, the PGA Championship. The second major of the year in world golf, attracting top names to attend.
PGA Championship 2023 will be the 105th tournament held. The tournament took place at Oak Hill Country Club in New York with a standard score of 72. With narrower fairways, denser grass and greens that can make the ball roll faster, Oak Hill is expected to take place at the Oak Hill Country Club in New York. This will make it even more difficult for the 156 golfers to compete this week, especially as this will be a competition of many names with good records at the previous tournament.
Nine of the 11 most recent PGA Championship champions are ranked in the top 21 on the world rankings, promising more close competition in the top group. One of the most awaited faces is the world No. 1 golfer Jon Rahm, who has owned 4 titles this season, including the first major of the year, the Masters.
According to statistics Jon Rahm is also the golfer with the best average performance in the first round with an average of 67.77 strokes/round. Jon Rahm will tee off the first day at 8:30 a.m. local time, starting on hole 10, in the same group as Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Smith. Earlier at 8 a.m. local time, this season’s two-title golfer Scottie Scheffler will also tee off from the 10th hole, in the same group as Brooks Koepka and gary woodland.
