Valhalla's future in question for another PGA. Another dramatic finish wouldn't hurt
There's some uncertainly about whether Valhalla will get another PGA Championship now that the PGA of America no longer owns it
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The PGA Championship is returning to Valhalla for the fourth time in the last 28 years, a greater rate than any other golf course over that span. Another memorable finish could go a long way in making sure it stays in the rotation.
Two of them ended in playoffs, one of them featuring a putt Tiger Woods still considers the most clutch of his career. Another included a bizarre first — Rory McIlroy joining the twosome ahead of him, with players having to stand to the side as he teed off on the 18th hole.
Valhalla might have a short history compared with venerable sites like Southern Hills and Baltusrol, but it already has shown capable of delivering pure theater.
“The short of it is that the script writing gods of golf have some connection to Valhalla,” said Jim Nantz, the CBS Sports host who has covered them all. “These gods must live right over the east side of Louisville over there by Valhalla because this place has created magic.”
