Tee-rific: Let’s Get Acquainted With This Year’s US PGA Championship

The US PGA 2023 is going to tee off before you know it.

Make sure you’ve got the skinny on this brilliant golf event. We’re going to tell you everything we know so far about what’s coming up. Including, very importantly, where to put a bet in online from now, if you’re that way inclined.

It’s starting on 18 May

We told you it’s coming up fast! The US PGA 2023 is teeing off on 18 May and is running for four days until 21 May. It’s a real start of the summer for golf fans, in our opinion.

US PGA 2023 is a Major

As it has been for decades, the US PGA 2023 is a Major golf tournament. It’s one of four that runs every year. The first of which is the Masters, then it’s the U.S. Open. Finally, the golfers head across the pond to the Open Championship in the UK in July. And that caps off the big summer of Major golf competition.

However, that wasn’t always the case. The US PGA actually used to take up the rear, finishing in August after the other three. But in 2019, the schedule was shook up and the US PGA got its new position, where it’s been for four years and counting.

Oak Hill is playing host

Situated in the New York state, the Oak Hill East Course is where all the action for the US PGA 2023 is going down.

A lot to play for

In terms of prize money, there is a total of $15 million dollars in the prize fund for the golfers who rise to the top of the US PGA 2023. A huge amount in anyone’s books. And even more spectacular when you think that last year, it was a full three million less to play for.

What makes the US PGA tick?

We’ve also got a great article all about the history of the US PGA. If you’re interested in the origins of this big golfing tournament, it’s well worth a read. Not only does it tell you when it started, it also traces the different name changes and quirks along the way.

Four main players to watch

Of course, dozens of players are going to be taking part over the course of these four days. But we’re focusing our minds and paying careful attention to four golfers in particular who look set to go all the way.

Bookies reckon that Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are both in with more than a fighting chance at this year’s tournament. However, reigning champion Justin Thomas impressed everyone with his form this year, so he’s just behind the top two in the bookies’ eyes. And another interesting person to keep an eye on is Scottie Scheffler, the 26 year old who has done nothing but wow the golfing public for the last few years.
