PGA Championship Lookahead
The PGA Championship will be played May 14-17 at Aronimink Golf Club just outside of Philadelphia for the first time since 1962 when Gary Player won the title. This will be the first time the course has hosted a PGA event since the 2018 BMW Championship, won by Keegan Bradley.
Aronimink is a Donald Ross design that forces players to think and be creative on almost every shot, especially after Gil Hanse’s redesign in 2017 that restored the course’s original design and feel.
Set up as a Par 70, the course measures around 7,250 yards with over 150 bunkers and slow Bentgrass greens that are fairly large in size (8,000+ square feet). The fescue rough isn’t known to be extremely penal, but we’ll see what length the grass is grown to for this year’s major.
Overall, this course isn’t set up like Augusta or Oakmont. It’s going to yield more scoring, but it’s also going to take some strategy and creativity to get there.
Around-the-Green play is the most difficult here, but if you’re hitting these large greens repeatedly, then you’re not going to have to worry about that.
Only 2 Par 5s. Scoring will be needed on those holes, but will also need to come from the 12 Par 4s. Par 4 birdie-or-better% will be weighted in Sammy’s model.
We’re going to be targeting elite ball-strikers with spike putting upside.
Quick Hits:
Only 2 of the last 12 PGA Championship winners were older than 33
10 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 previous PGA Championship Top 10
10 of the last 12 winners finished 20th or better in their previous start
11 of the last 12 winners had at least 3 top 10 finishes that season
2018 BMW had a 22.7% birdie-or-better rate and a 2.18 birdie-to-bogey ratio
Players to start considering for OAD at the PGA Championship:
Scottie Scheffler
Xander Schauffele
Tommy Fleetwood
Patrick Reed
