The golfing cavalcade has arrived, ushering in the second major joust of 2024, where elites vie to etch their names in history’s tapestry. The emerald avenues of Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville will bear witness to the 106th PGA Championship, a decadal homecoming for the prestigious event. This year’s field brims with the sport’s luminaries, each harboring aspirations of grandeur.
Scottie Scheffler, fresh from his Masters triumph, finds himself in the crosshairs of expectation. The prospect of becoming the first player since 2015 to seize the inaugural two majors of the year looms large. Scheffler’s recent form has been nothing short of meteoric, with four triumphs in his last five outings, igniting whispers of an audacious grand slam pursuit. The PGA Championship represents the second stride on his personal odyssey, having already donned two green jackets in the past three years.
Nipping at Scheffler’s heels are the formidable presences of Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy, both riding the crest of successive victories. Koepka’s overseas exploits have been exemplary, and though his Masters sojourn yielded a modest T45 finish, his status as the reigning PGA champion adds intrigue to his quest for an unprecedented fourth Wanamaker Trophy in seven years. McIlroy, conversely, has endured a major drought since the last PGA Championship at Valhalla a decade ago, but his familiarity with the course and recent triumph at Quail Hollow instill confidence.
While the thrill of witnessing the PGA Championship in person is unparalleled, the privilege of savoring golf’s grandest stages from afar is a treat unto itself. CBS Sports is poised to regale viewers with comprehensive coverage throughout the week, ensuring no pivotal moment goes unwitnessed.
Jim Nantz, the venerable CBS Sports golf anchor, will orchestrate the proceedings for an astonishing 34th consecutive year, presiding from the super tower alongside lead analyst Trevor Immelman. Joining them at Valhalla are Ian Baker-Finch, Frank Nobilo, Dottie Pepper, Colt Knost, Mark Immelman, and Amanda Renner, who will conduct interviews and provide insights.
In its 34rd consecutive (and 41th overall) broadcast, CBS Sports, in partnership with the PGA of America, will deploy a formidable arsenal of 125 cameras and nearly 150 microphones to capture every sight and sound. Technological marvels, including Fly Cams, Bunker Cameras, state-of-the-art drone coverage, panoramic Falcon 360 cameras, Toptracer, and more, will elevate the viewing experience.
Enough preamble; here’s how you can immerse yourself in the PGA Championship’s grandeur throughout the week. Ensure you remain glued to CBS Sports for live coverage, and download the CBS Sports App to witness the action unfold on your mobile device this weekend. Kyle Porter’s analysis of the nine golfers most likely to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday is a must-read.
