And they’re off.
The 2024 PGA Championship is underway at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, the second men’s major of the season.
Scottie Scheffler, no surprise, came into the event as the betting favorite. He is also in the first week of being a dad, after he and his wife Meredith welcomed son Bennett into the world.
Valhalla Golf Club is a “big boy golf course,” as defending champion Brooks Koepka called it on Wednesday. Valhalla is a par 71 measuring 7,609 yards. The course has 62 sand bunkers and five water hazards, which come into play on seven holes. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1986.
