2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol: Thursday’s Round 1 Tee Times

by Debert Cook

Golf’s best are flocking to Springfield, N.J., this weekend to take part in one of the season’s most competitive tournaments.

Located just outside of New York City, Baltusrol Golf Club will play host to the 98th PGA Championship, the fourth and final major tournament of the season. This is the second time Baltusrol has hosted the PGA, the first being in 2005 when Phil Mickelson won his second major.

Just nine short days ago, Henrik Stenson held off Mickelson in one of the most exciting rounds of golf the sport has ever seen at the Open Championship. Mickelson will look to stay on track at the friendly confines of Baltusrol, while Jason Day attempts to defend his title after winning last year’s tournament, held at Wisconsin’s Whistling Straits.

Also in the field will be  PGA Teaching Profession Wyatt Worthington II.  Worthington, who works with The Golf Depot at Central Park in Gahanna, Ohio, is not only one of only a very few African Americans who lay claim to this certified status, but he is also the first African American Club Professional in 25 years to qualify for the season’s last major.  The last time this happened was in 1991 after Tom Woodard achieved it.

Here is everything you need to know regarding coverage, along with must-watch story lines and tee times for Thursday’s opening round.
