Where and When is the 2023 PGA Championship? All You Need to Know
The PGA Championship has truly been a treat in recent years. From Phil Mickelson’s glorious win at Kiawah to Brooks Koepka’s unbeatable performances and Jordan Spieth’s impressive hunt for the career grand slam, this underappreciated gem always packs a punch. The PGA Championship most certainly deserves recognition for its lasting impact and thrilling memories it has given us over the years.
Now all eyes are focused on the upcoming 2023 PGA Championship. What’s it going to be? Where and when will this spectacle of a tournament take place? No need to worry, we’ve got you covered! Read on to get the scoop on this year’s second major championship.
About Location
The Oak Hill Country Club – East Course in Rochester, NY has been chosen as the spot for the 2023 PGA Championship. It’s so prestigious that they’ve had this honor three times before, including 2013 when Jason Dufner won. Crazy to think of what technology allows us today, from watching the golf tournaments to enjoying various online activities, such as playing online pokies, right from the comfort of our homes.
Oak Hill really hit the jackpot when it comes to hosting major golf events. It’s been a stage for the PGA Championship twice (2003 and 1980), U.S Open thrice (1956, 1968, and 1989), Ryder Cup in 1995, plus two instances of U.S Amateur (1949 & 1998) and Senior PGA Championship as recent as 2008 and 2019.
Dates and Schedule
Only a few weeks after the dramatic The Masters, we all have the 2023 PGA Championship all lined up for May 18th to 21st. That’s a change of pace – they’ve switched things up with scheduling this year.
In fact, back in 2019, a major shake-up happened for golf enthusiasts when it was announced that the PGA Championship would move from August to May. To top everything up, golf enthusiasts can now look forward to this thrilling event earlier in the year.
Players
Almost all of the top 100 players have entered the tournament, a whopping 99 of them, with Masters champion Jon Rahm and defending PGA champ, Justin Thomas at the head of the bunch. Unfortunately, Will Zalatoris (who’s sidelined while recuperating from back surgery) is just one absentee.
No Tiger Woods or 66-year-old Jeff Sluman on the list this time – Tiger’s still recovering from his ankle surgery, while Jeff decided to skip out despite having a lifetime exemption as the 1988 PGA winner. Still though, there’s one high profile player whose name everyone’s buzzing about: Jordan Spieth. But his participation remains up in the air, as he had to bail out of the Byron Nelson tournament because of a wrist injury.
