Five former 'Dawgs head up the turnpike and take their chances with Yankees and a tough Baltusrol course. This is the final major of the year, and only 2 weeks before the Olympics and 4 weeks before the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Tournament: PGA Championship, July 28-31, 2016
Course: Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower), 7,428 yards, par 70, Springfield, NJ
Purse: $10,000,000
Defending Champion: Jason Day. Somehow supplanting Jordan Spieth as the hottest player on the planet, Day surged to the front and played with Spieth in the final round, eventually stepping on Spieth’s neck with a combination of power and putting at the tough Whistling Straits course.
