The July 26 event will feature fellow Lions Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson, for the first time, and Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, who appeared in 2019.
Former No. 1-ranked World Long Drive contender Maurice Allen is back from last year, and American singer and entertainer Kelley James will debut.

The 2019 RMC celebrity contest was named the PGA Tour’s “Best Special Event.” The competition takes place during the RMC’s Detroit Community Days. Admission and parking are free for Detroit residents. It tees off at 5 p.m. ET.
Golfers have until 5 p.m. ET on Friday to commit to the field for next week’s tournament. Tickets are available for the Tuesday practice round, the Wednesday pro-am as well as the four competition days, Thursday through Sunday.

History of the U.S. Open
This year marks the 122nd U.S. Open, with the first one being held in 1895 in Newport, Rhode Island. This will be The Country Club’s fourth time hosting the event, the others being held there in 1913, 1963 and 1988.
That first U.S. Open had ten professionals and one amateur. The winner was Horace Rawlins, a 21-year-old Englishman who had arrived in the U.S. earlier that year to take up a position at the host club. He received $150 out of a prize fund of $335, plus a $50 gold medal.
His club received the Open Championship Cup trophy, which was presented by the USGA.
Since the PGA Championship moved from August to May, the U.S. Open is now the third of the four men’s major golf championships.

This will be the fifth PGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa.
TULSA, Okla. — The 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club begins Monday with practice rounds. The first round of the 104th edition of the event tees off Thursday morning, and the final round is set for Sunday.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, the tournament’s defending champion, are both officially listed in the field but it’s unknown if either will play the event.
This will be the fifth PGA Championship at Southern Hills and the 14th major golf championship in the state of Oklahoma. The last two majors were on the senior circuit; Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship in 2007 for his 13th career major.
The course
Southern Hills is considered one of the best designs from Perry Maxwell, a world-renowned golf architect who also created Dornick Hills in Ardmore and Twin Hills in Oklahoma City. Southern Hills was constructed during the Great Depression when a group of citizens in Tulsa raised $140,000 for a new country club. Local oil baron Waite Phillips donated a tract of land south of downtown.
Maxwell was known for creating golf courses as cost effective as possible, using contours of the land to shape holes and guide the property. That’s what he did with Southern Hills. It opened in 1936 and quickly became a site for major golf tournaments.

Although the layout of the course is similar, Gil Hanse’s renovation, which took 10 months and cost $11 million, changed the future of Southern Hills while bringing it back to its foundation.
Tickets
Tickets remain for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’s practice rounds, ranging from $25 and $45 on the official PGA Championship website. Some Thursday first-round tickets remain, priced at $195. Tickets for Friday through Sunday’s rounds are sold out but can be purchased on the secondary market.
Kids aged 17 years and younger will be admitted free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. Each ticketed adult will be permitted four junior grounds admissions per day for free. Kids will be admitted regardless of a sell-out.
Field
There are 155 players currently in the field. There is one final spot available to the winner of the AT&T Byron Nelson, if he’s not already in. The field includes 16 PGA Championship winners, 34 major champions, three World Golf Hall of Fame Members, four Ryder Cup captains as well as the top-20 finishers from the 2022 PGA Professional Championship.
TV
For the 39th time and the 32nd consecutive year, CBS will have live coverage of the PGA Championship. This year also marks the 32nd time Jim Nantz will call the action from the 18th hole tower. CBS will have 140 cameras and 150 microphones on the grounds to capture the action.
There will also be live coverage on cable TV on the CBS Sports Network. ESPN+ and Paramount+ will offer live streaming.
Weather
Per weather.com, temperatures will range from the high 80s earlier into the week and drop to the low 80s as the weekend comes. It will be partly cloudy with winds ranging between 10 and 20 MPH. There is a low chance of rain.
The 2007 PGA, staged in August that year, holds the record for the hottest major championship, as temperatures hit 101, 99, 99 and 102 over the four days.
