With the PGA settled into its new May spot on the calendar, there remain moments in its history that feel just so, well, PGA-like. We’d argue they give the championship a character that the rest of the Majors might actually envy – moments of humour and levity that have an appealing, let’s-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously feel. These moments deserve commemoration as well.
More than a week after becoming the oldest Major winner in golf history at the PGA Championship, Mickelson is still holding up his huge prize. To have some celebratory beverages, that is.
In an already awkward 18th green trophy celebration conspicuously devoid of fans, Morikawa finally got to put his hands on the Wanamaker Trophy that he had spent the day hunting down.
Woods needs to win the Wanamaker Trophy – or couple a top five at the US PGA Championship with a Bridgestone Invitational victory – to have a chance at one of the eight point selections. If not, Tiger will have to rely on one of Furyk’s four captain’s picks.
Thomas made a couple of changes this week to his bag, replacing a Titleist T-MB 2-iron with a Titleist 915Fd 5-wood and putting a new Titleist Vokey SM6 60-degree wedge in play.
