I will be in Chicago on business the weekend of the PGA Championship in Medinah. My meetings are Thursday thru Saturday, leaving me the opportunity to either go to a Wednesday practice round or to "the big day" on Sunday. I know that the players are more open to the fans on practice days, but I also know that there will be an energy in the air on Sunday, especially if someone like Phil or Tiger is in the final grouping. Any comments or advice?

Go to both!

The players will NOT be very accessible on Wednesday. It's a major, after all. They'll be kinda buckled down at that point.

The only good thing about practice rounds is that you can bring your camera and snap away without getting busted over the head by Stevie W.

I've been to a major on Sunday (US Open at Olympic in 98), and I gotta tell ya... it's electrifying.

I'd go Sunday in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. I've been to practice rounds for majors and yeah it's fun, but there will be nothing like being there on Sunday, especially if it comes down to the back 9 and a dramatic showdown of two studs.

Either way you're money but Sunday (or both) would be my choice!

I have been to one Masters, Freddie couples win. No I didn't see the shot that stayed on the bank. I quess that would be my point. Depending on the course and entry limits the crowds on Sunday can make it difficult to see anything, especially when the leaders start the back nine. I enjoyed the practice rounds more and the par 3 tournament was a hoot.
