When the PGA Championship returns to Valhalla this week for the first time since 2014, Thomas hopes to emulate his mate Tiger Woods and leave town with the Wanamaker Trophy.
In the next decade, the PGA will continue to return to familiar host sites – notably Quail Hollow in 2025, Baltusrol in 2029 and Kiawah Island’s Ocean course in 2031 – but also will visit courses last seen on the men’s side when they hosted the US Open, including San Francisco’s Olympic Club and Congressional, located just outside Washington, DC.
Receiving invites were Australia’s Lucas Herbert, Dean Burmester, Adrian Meronk and David Puig. Two of those players – Herbert and Meronk – are also inside the top 100 of the OWGR.
Geno Bonnalie, whose boss, Joel Dahmen, finished T-69, had an opportunity to play the 2023 PGA Championship venue the morning after the final round and he took advantage of it. He also used the opportunity to set up an over/under bet for his score.
Among the many reasons fans still seem to like Brooks Koepka despite the jump to LIV is his ability to just be a regular bloke, as stupid as that sounds.

In a Ryder Cup year, it’s never too early to ask the big questions about what’s coming in the northern autumn. And this year, after Brooks Koepka’s win at the PGA Championship, we have a really big question: should he make the US Ryder Cup team?
Faxon argued the golfers are playing for their countries and not their tour. And Chamblee still wasn’t having it. Have a look as this debate leads to an all-time awkward moment between the two.
If there’s any consolation, Scheffler’s finish at Oak Hill did allow him to jump Jon Rahm and return to the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. Although that was news to Scheffler.
