The month of May 2024 is extremely crucial for the global sports calendar. And like every major sporting discipline, golf too is getting its fair share of the limelight with the all-important PGA Championship 2024.
Here is every important detail you need to know about the second major golf tournament of the year:
- Date: 16-19 May
- Venue: Kentucky, USA
Defending champion Brooks Koepka will be hoping to win a second successive title at Kentucky. However, he will face steep competition from the likes of Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark, among others.
In April, world number one Scottie Scheffler won the coveted Masters Tournament and collected the second green jacket of his career. Fans will be expecting a similar performance from the American golfer in the PGA Championship.
The big news, however, is the participation of Tiger Woods in the major tournament. Arguably one of the most popular sports personalities of all time, Woods will be eyeing his fifth PGA Championship win this year, and his first major championship win in five years (he last won the Masters Tournament in 2019).
With such a star-studded field, the PGA Championship 2024 promises to be a cracker of a contest. However, will the players compete only for the coveted silverware? Or does the tournament offer substantial payouts?
