Aug. 10-16, 2009 - Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota
The 2009 PGA Championship will return to Hazeltine National Golf Club, site of Rich Beem's thrilling defeat of a charging Tiger Woods in 2002, will again play host to the world's finest players when the 2009 PGA Championship visits the legendary Minnesota course.
The US PGA Golf Championship is the last chance for a major trophy and poor-performing champions
can not be discounted in their final attempt to 'turn their year around' or for those on top of their
game to continue their hot streak.
When Tiger Woods heads into the final round of a major tournament with the lead, the outcome is
always the same. Tiger wins. In the 2007 PGA Championship, Woods dominated from start to finish,
capturing his second-straight Wanamaker Trophy and winning his 13th major title overall.
The final leg of the PGA Tour’s Grand Slam will draw the biggest name in the game. Tiger Woods
will be there to defend against Vijay Singh (+2500) and Phil Mickelson (+1200), who the PGA
Championship in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Also Retief Goosen is at (+2800), who won
the U.S Open in 2001, which was also held at the storied Southern Hills Country Club.
Who will be the next PGA Galof champion this year? Only time will tell. one thing is for sure you
don't forget to bet on your favorite golfer for this years US PGA galf Championship.
Today the event is one of the four Grand Slam events (the other three being: US Open, The Masters and
The Open Championship) and offers huge prize money, for an example Vijay Singh won $1.25 million in 2004
after a thrilling play-off. Today there is big money bet on the USPGA too. Perhaps the most popular USPGA
bet is betting a favorite to win the event or even betting on the the Field, players who miss/make the cut
and the winning score.

Yang, a 37-year-old, second-year player on the PGA Tour, entered the final round of the 91st PGA Championship at Hazeltine tied for second with Padraig Harrington, trailing Woods by two shots. It seemed like Yang was simply going to have a front-row seat to witness Woods do what he does best -- close out another major.
