PGA Championship Round 1 live updates: Xander Schauffele is on fire

[ad_1]

Good morning from Valhalla Golf Club, where the fog has burned off and the sun is just peeking over the tops of the trees. We have a full slate of the world’s best players on the slate for today, with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy teeing off shortly after 8 a.m. ET.

Much of the pre-tournament talk focused on golf’s ongoing civil war and private lives, so it surely comes as a relief to the players — and many fans, too — that the game is now afoot. Three days from now, a major champion will emerge from this 156-man field, and it ought to be a hell of a ride to get there.

The course looks beautiful, the Kentucky galleries are already full, and the stage is set for another epic major tournament. Stick with us all week, and let’s have ourselves a fine PGA Championship.
