2010 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF PREVIEW:
As the last major of the year, the PGA Championship serves as the final chance for golfers to capture a one of the most elusive titles in the sport. This year, the 92nd edition of the tournament returns to Whistling Straits in Haven, Wisconsin, for the first time since 2004, when Vijay Singh took home the Wanamaker Trophy.
Although he has certainly had a tumultuous year, and is heading into the British Open having yet to win a tournament, Tiger Woods has to be among the favorites when the competition tees off on August 12. Woods has won the tournament four times, most recently in 2007. Fans should be on the look out for Wisconsin-born Steve Stricker who just won the John Deere Classic with an astounding 26-under par.
The Straits Course at Whistling Straits is anything but an easy test for the field. The course, which offers striking views of Lake Michigan, is a daunting 7,514 yards which makes it the second longest course ever to host a major. Perhaps most intimidating is the 223-yard par-3 17th hole. This iconic hole is one of the hardest par-3s around, and features a difficult green surrounded by treacherous sand dunes on the right and a steep 20-foot drop to leading to the lake on the left.
