Golfers prepare for the PGA Championship (20 images)

By UPI Staff

The second major of the year, the 2024 PGA Championship, will begin Thursday and run through Sunday at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., and players are practicing on the par 71, 7,609-yard course. Rory McIlroy finished first last time the tournament was played at Valhalla, and just won the Wells Fargo Championship on May 12. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the favorite, though, after he won the Masters.
