The PGA Championship returns to Valhalla on May 16-19. The Kentucky club has held three previous majors and the Ryder Cup. And there's rarely been a dull moment. Kenny Perry spent too much time in the broadcast booth before losing his playoff to Mark Brooks.
FILE - Mark Brooks holds the Wannamaker trophy on the 18th green of Valhalla Golf Club after beating Kenny Perry in a one-hole playoff to win the PGA Championship on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 11, 1996, in Louisville , Ky. Valhalla hosts its fourth major championship on May 16-19, 2024. FILE - Tiger Woods celebrates making birdie on the last of regulation play to tie Bob May at 18 under-par and force a playoff at the PGA Championship on Aug. 20, 2000, at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville , Ky.
Quotable: “I’ve never been in this situation before. I hate that I lost it for myself and for the fans of Kentucky who were rooting so hard for me this week. But this is good for my career. It’ll help me down the road. I learned a good lesson, but it’s a hard one.” — Perry.Recap: Tiger Woods had won the previous two majors in 2000 by a combined 23 shots. Trying to become the first player since Ben Hogan to win three majors in a year, he faced his strongest test against unheralded Bob May.
Recap: Tiger Woods missed the Ryder Cup for the first time in his career while recovering from knee surgery. The star was Paul Azinger, who agreed to be captain if he could revamp the system. Points were based on PGA Tour earnings, and he took eight qualifiers instead of 10, giving him four captain’s picks. The Americans built a 9-7 lead going into the final day. In the lead match, Anthony Kim took down Sergio Garcia in 14 holes, racing to the 15th tee without realizing the match was over.
Recap: Rory McIlroy captured his second major of the summer, and his fourth major was the toughest of all. McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson and Rickie Fowler all had at least a share of the lead on the back nine. The clincher was McIlroy hitting 9-iron from a bunker to 10 feet for birdie on the 17th hole for a two-shot lead. But that’s when it got weird. Because of a two-hour rain delay Sunday, darkness was closing in.
