2024 PGA Championship Course: Valhalla Golf Club
This course is definitely set up for the long hitters off the tee as this will be a Par 71 at just over 7600 yards. The fairways are pretty wide, but there are definitely some trees along some of the fairways that can cause problems for wayward shots.
The grass in the fairways promotes a bit more roll of the ball, but the weather this week might soften up the course and take the roll away making it even longer to play.
Normally on these longer courses, I would say that the accuracy off the tee isn't as important, but I really do think it is important this week.
With the length of these Par 4's and Par 5's, the approach shot into the greens is going to be long so coming out of the rough is going to be tough to control it when it lands on the green.
The greens look to be tough with lots of mounds, bumps, and level changes, and the amount of rain we get this week will determine how much the players can stop or spin the ball.
The Weather: Rain will be there on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with Thursday looking clear, however, Friday will be wet, and maybe Saturday morning as well.
