Welcome to PGA Tour Brunch at PGA Championship

It’s Opening Round for the 2021 PGA Championship and the PGA of America has set-up a LONG golf course. At 7,876 yards, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort will be the longest course on record in major championship history. The previous mark of 7,741 yards was held by the 2017 U.S. Open at Erin Hills.

World No. 1 and reigning FedExCup champion Dustin Johnson has finished as runner-up at the PGA Championship in each of the last two years, becoming the first player to do so since Jack Nicklaus (1964, 1965). Johnson withdrew before the start of last week’s AT&T Byron Nelson due to a knee injury.

Three of the four events this season awarding 600 FedEx points to the winner have been won by players entering the week in the Top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking: Bryson DeChambeau, 2020 U.S. Open (9); Dustin Johnson, 2020 Masters (1); Justin Thomas, The PLAYERS (3).

There have been just five first-time PGA Tour winners this season: Carlos Ortiz, Vivint Houston Open; Jason Kokrak, The CJ CUP @ Shadow Creek; Joel Dahmen, Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship; Sam Burns, Valspar Championship; K.H. Lee, AT&T Byron Nelson.

Nine of the top 10 players in the FedExCup standings are in their 20s, led by No. 1 Bryson DeChambeau. The only player 30 or older in the top 10 is Stewart Cink (7).

Welcome to PGA Tour Brunch – 1st Look at PGA Championship

The 2021 PGA Championship is the 34th of 50 events on the PGA Tour. It is organized by the PGA of America.

Collin Morikawa won his first major championship title at the 2020 PGA Championship and will attempt to become the eighth player to successfully defend his title. The most recent was Brooks Koepka, 2018/2019. In 2020, Morikawa became the third-youngest to win the PGA Championship since WWII, behind Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Five players have won the Career Grand Slam and Jordan Spieth can become the sixth with a win on the Ocean Course. Spieth won the 2015 Masters Tournament, 2015 U.S. Open and 2017 Open Championship. He is making his fifth start in the PGA Championship since the 2017 Open (T-28/2017, T-12/2018, T-3/2019, T-71/2020).

The 2021 PGA Championship will be played at the Pete and Alice Dye-designed Ocean Course at Kiawah for the second time in tournament history and first since 2012. In 2012, Rory McIlroy won the tournament by eight strokes, the largest margin of victory in PGA Championship history. McIlroy is making his first start since the Wells Fargo Championship, where he earned his 19th PGA Tour victory and his first of the season.


PGA Championship Tee Times begin Thursday at 7:00am (EDT) through 2:42pm (EDT).

Weather: Kiawah Island can be windy! Thursday’s forecast is for sunny skies and 53-degrees but winds will blow 26 mph NW. No chance of rain.

PGATourBrunch will be posting at 7:00am (EDT) Thursday and Friday.

Next Week: Charles Schwab Challenge (Colonial, Fort Worth, Texas)
