Are You Excited for the PGA? -
August 1st, 2008
For some reason... maybe because its the last and final major... I just dont get excited for this one, at all.
The Masters = the green jacket, Augusta, Bobby Jones US Open = USGA sticking it to players, over par winners, long rough The Open = the birthplace of the game, oldest championship, cold & rainy links golf The PGA = ? no clue what are people's feelings on this one? I'm not critizing the PGA I'm just saying that when I think of the championship nothing unique really comes to mind |

Uhh, a few years ago it was held about 40 minutes away from me at Whistling Straits, I guess that's it for me. I'll still watch it obviously because its a major, but I still think it plays little brother to all the other majors.

I am a bit, because it's a meeting place of today's leaders in golf (except for the club pro qualifying route) and there is that excitement at the top end. But, to be honest, I find the TPC more exciting. Even tho it's artificial - everything is around the 17th. But the field is more elite. |

You people are crazy! If you can't get excited about a major championship, what can you get excited for? I'm pumped up as I am for all majors, but it sounds like I might be the only one.
For those saying the PGA Championship doesn't excite them, have you by any chance watched any in the past decade? It's hard to pick one out that wasn't exciting. The Shaun Micheel victory wasn't necessarily great for the game, but all others have been pretty awesome. Some of my best golf memories have come from the PGA Championship. Oh yeah, as for the topic, I'm excited for next week's PGA Championship.

I get excited for any major, but the PGA would be off the charts if they would go match play like they used to. This year, since it's so wide open, should be quite the tourney.

I'm pumped as hell for the PGA, there have been some amazing championships held in recent memory, Tiger vs. Bob May, Sergio chasing his ball from behind that tree, Rich Beem winning with Tiger hot on his tail....the list goes on and on for the PGA Championship. While it might not have the history of The Open Championship, the tradition of The Masters, the brutality of the U.S. Open the PGA Championship is still considered a major championship and in my mind it deserves the attention of the world's best players.
Yep, I'm pumped and wish it were this week. BTW, I just rec'd confirmation of my volunteer status for the 2009 PGA @ Hazeltine!!!
