PGA Championship moving to May, shifting golf's majors in 2019

While moving the PGA Championship would eliminate conflict with the Olympics, it also compacts the golf majors into an even smaller window.

The 2017 PGA Championship gets underway Thursday, but golf's fourth major reportedly soon will become its second.

"I played really good on Sunday (shooting 66 in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational)".

Rory McIlroy may have still not won a title in 2017 but he has still been named as the man to beat at this week's USA PGA Championship by one of his major rivals on the tour. Two years later he lost a thrilling shootout to Rickie Fowler, before winning it again in 2015. He broke his own course record with a 61 in the third round two years ago.

If successful, Spieth will surpass fellow-American Tiger Woods and became the youngest career grand slam victor in golf history. But if McIlroy is the favorite, or co-favorite with Spieth, so be it. I'm happy with that. Is it seven? And out of those seven times I've won twice? It's wonderful what two (tournaments) can do.

Although the 24-year-old knows his game better than anyone, there is an old adage that you never write off a champion.

McIlroy remained bullish: 'Let's see, how many times have I played in the PGA Tour event here?

The Dutch Fork and Coastal Carolina graduate is at the top of the world golf rankings.

"I felt like I got some things worked out in the swing that were just holding me back a little bit", Johnson said.

"But I feel like I'm about an eight and a half right now".

Drove the ball pretty well? From 150 to 175 yards, McIlroy averages just under 30ft and Spieth just under 22ft. It was the lowest final round in four decades at Firestone Country Club and led to a five-shot victory over Zach Johnson.

Who is going to win at Quail Hollow?

It will also allow for the Ryder Cup to be moved forward slightly from its traditional date in the first week of October, Bevacqua said. And most of the longer holes call for a draw off the tee - which is McIlroy's natural shape with his longer clubs. "My focus in on this, the PGA Championship".

Naturally the course will be set up differently for the US PGA, but McIlroy still benefits from all the positive feelings he has accumulated there over the years and will return full of confidence. "You don't really have to have your best game and you still feel like you have a chance to win".

"They are talking about what's going to happen next season". Dustin Johnson looked good enough to win them all until he slipped down the stairs and wrenched his back on the eve of the Masters. "As an aspiring young golfer who grew up in a small town on the western Cape, I knew that there were four tournaments by which the best players were measured".

The expectations for Rory McIlroy make good seem disappointing.
