Cameron Smith is predicting a long, wet week upon his first trip to Valhalla Golf Club, but hot form on a globe-trotting schedule recently has prepared the major winner for anything the PGA Championship can throw at him.
Though Rahm has said he is happy with his decision to join the Saudi-backed league, he’s also admitted that leaving the PGA Tour was harder than he thought.
Valhalla is supposed to be hit with rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, and though Thursday’s opening round should provide a respite, storms are expected to return on Saturday and Sunday.
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.
Respect it or not, Valhalla delivers reliably great stories. There’s magic in the air in Kentucky, a strange kind of gothic voodoo, and it settles like the hot air in this specific patch of the Ohio River Valley.
