US PGA Championship 2023
Posted: Fri May 12, 2023 11:48 amI've been a bit slack in posting about the majors of late. So here's a little something about the next major on the roster.
Once again we see a sprinkling of Liv players back in the fold for a major. The PGA Championship - the 105th edition returns to Oak Hill for the first time in 10 years.
A little on the course:
The Architecture of Oak Hill East, a preview of the fourth PGA Championship hosted at the historic venue, was released earlier this week and goes in depth on the restoration of the venue by golf architect Andrew Green back to its original Donald Ross design.
“I felt like the presentation of the golf course needed to be more authentic and better connected to some of the original imagery we had from Ross’ time,” Green said.
Green was tasked by Oak Hill to restore the venue of the 1980, 2003 and 2013 PGA Championships in 2020. He set out to recapture Ross’ image and create more variety in the way the course could be set up for Major Championships.
“I’m really excited about the way it presents itself in as authentic fashion as possible,” Green said in the piece. “That it feels of a certain vintage, a certain period. That it feels like the way it was intended to be. I’m really excited to see how it holds up, what the challenges are and how the players react.”
