PGA Championship 2024: A look at the prize money payout

The PGA of America has set the prize money for the 2024 PGA Championship at 18.5 million dollars. That means they will pay out one million dollars more than last year.

Scottie Scheffler After PGA Championship 2024: “Hectic Would Probably Be a Good Description”

Scottie Scheffler finishes the 2024 PGA Championship 2024 with a strong round of six under par. Although the Masters champion had little chance of winning the title after a 73 on Saturday, the 27-year-old will be glad to be leaving Valhalla Golf Club after all the excitement of the last few days. Scottie Scheffler became a father just a few days ago, and on Friday morning he was detained by the police on his way to the second round and was subjected to identity checks. On Sunday, he proved his class again on the par-71 course. With a round of 65, he improved into the top 10. Read here what Scottie Scheffler had to say after the final round of the 2024 PGA Championship:

Scottie Scheffler Interview After Finishing the 2024 PGA Championship

Question: Scottie, with everything that’s happened this week I’m sure it’s been a tumultuous time, but can you just even try to put this week into words?

Scottie Scheffler: (Laughing). Yeah, I’m not really quite sure. I think “hectic” would probably be a good description. Overall right now how I’m feeling, I’m fairly tired, definitely a lot more tired than I have been finishing some other tournaments. But I’m proud of today how we went out there and fought. I got off to kind of a slow start and I was able to kind of get some momentum and post a good round and give myself some good momentum.

Yesterday obviously was quite frustrating and a bit of a different day, but overall proud of how I fought this week. Was fortunate to be out here competing, doing what I love.

Out on the golf course the support this week that I got from the fans was tremendous. The support I got from the players and caddies and everybody inside the ropes was tremendous. So I’m very grateful to have the community that we have out here on the road and to have their support.

Question: How much of yesterday’s round do you ascribe to the circumstances or how much of it was just golf and a bad day?

Scottie Scheffler: I mean, it’s hard to tell. I think I would attribute it mostly to a bad day. I think when you come out here to compete, you’re out here competing, you’re doing what you can throughout the course of the round to post a score and I wasn’t able to get that done yesterday. Did I feel like myself? Absolutely not. Was my warm-up the way it usually is and the distractions were they normally are? Absolutely not. But I’m not going to sit here and say that’s why I went out and played a bad round of golf yesterday.

I got arrested Friday morning and I showed up here and played a good round of golf, as well. So I’ve been good throughout my career or I’d say that I’ve gotten better throughout my career of leaving the off-course distractions at home and kind of keeping a pretty quiet personal life, and this week obviously that was not the case. I’m not going to sit here and say that I played poorly yesterday because of what happened on Friday. I just had a bad day out on the course and was proud of how I came out here and bounced back today.

Question: Was there a moment where kind of the gravity of what happened on Friday and the strangeness of what happened on Friday finally started to sink in?

Scottie Scheffler: Yeah, probably Saturday morning. I think it finally hit me what really happened. Friday most of the day I didn’t really even eat. I came up here and had a couple bites of some eggs and a piece of bacon and went out and played. We were sitting at home, and I realized that I hadn’t even eaten dinner yet and it was almost 9 o’clock at night, and I wasn’t hungry. As somebody who’s a pretty big eater, that was a strange feeling, so obviously my body was a bit off with what had happened in the morning.

But like I said, I did my best to leave that behind me and come out here and compete and do what I love, and the support I got from the fans was amazing. I think they were cheering extra loud for me this week, and I got a lot of support from the players and caddies as well. A lot of people showing their support, a lot of players telling me how much they love me and stuff like that, and like I said, I’m really grateful to have the community that we have out here and the support of the people inside the ropes for sure.

Question: Have the “free Scottie” chants gotten old yet after the last two days?

Scottie Scheffler: I mean, I think when you’re out there inside the ropes, I don’t really hear too much of it. It’s nice to hear your name. I heard a lot of “Scottie” chants. I didn’t hear too many of the “free Scottie” chants, but I definitely heard a lot of “Scottie” chants.

Like I said, it’s great to have the support of the fans. Being able to play out here in front of them week in, week out is one of the greatest joys of my life for sure. So being able to do that this week and play another major championship, it was fun. Obviously the results weren’t what I was hoping for at the beginning of the week, but overall I’m proud of how I fought this week.

Question: As you walked off 18, kind of signed your card and whatnot, what is your, can you describe how you’re feeling, is there a sense of relief or is there a sense of what might have been this week. I know you took a long look at the scoreboard on 18.

Scottie Scheffler: At the moment, you know, I put my head down on the scorer’s table and I think I about fell asleep, so I’m just kind of just wondering what time bedtime is. I’m trying to figure out how quickly I can get home from here and, yeah, that’s pretty much it. I think I’m just fairly tired and ready to get home.

Question: As a quick follow, you’re on a list to play next week. Do you know what your plan is and do you have to come back for that Tuesday thing or is that something your lawyer can handle?

Scottie Scheffler: I think it’s all up in the air. I’m not really sure what the next days have in store. I think I’m able to get home tonight, but we’ll see when I leave here. I haven’t really had much chance to assess the situation off the course. I signed my card and then came straight over here. So we’ll see, but hopefully we’ll be able to get home tonight.

Question: Having Ted back on the bag today, how much did that help?

Scottie Scheffler: I think having Teddy out is always helpful. I’ve talked a lot about how great is he for me out there on course and keeping me in a good head space. Obviously yesterday was a bit of a different day, but it’s up to me to come out here and hit the shots and execute, and yesterday I wasn’t able to do that, and today I got off to the slow start, but we did a good job of staying patient and coming out and having a really, really nice back nine to have a decent finish to the week.

Question: If I could just clarify, are you unsure if you are required to be here Tuesday or is it a choice, and also, either way, are you planning to play next week?

Scottie Scheffler: I mean, as of now I’m planning to play next week. As far as the off-the-course stuff goes, I’m not really sure.

PGA Championship 2024 Live Blog: Showdown Morikawa versus Schauffele

Live Blog for the PGA Championship 2024

The 2024 PGA Championship will be held from May 16th to May 19th at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. The golf club was designed by Jack Nicklaus and has been in existence since 1986. The PGA Championship has already been held here three times, with Mark Brooks, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy emerging as winners.

Brooks Koepka, Scottie Scheffler and Co. at Valhalla Golf Club

A high-calibre field of participants is expected, with Brooks Kopeka as the defending champion, who was in top form shortly before the start of the tournament with a victory at LIV Golf. But his rivals have also recently lifted their own trophies. Rory McIlroy not only won the Zurich Classic together with Shane Lowry at the end of April, but also the Wells Fargo Championship in the week before the major. He is aiming to repeat his success from 2014, when he claimed his last major victory to date in Valhalla. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is currently considered almost unbeatable, also wants to have his say.

With the Golf Post live blog, you won’t miss a single hole from the first tee shot to the last putt until the winner of the PGA Championship 2024 is announced on Sunday.

Rory McIlroy: “I’m Feeling Good About My Game”

Rory McIlroy finishes the 2024 PGA Championship 2024 in a tie for twelfth place. Even though he failed to win the PGA Championship again ten years after his last major victory, the Northern Irishman’s final round was at least conciliatory. He returned to the clubhouse at Valhalla Golf Club with a 67. Once again, the back nine of the par-71 course, which had already been weaker than the front nine during the course of the tournament week, caused him problems. Nevertheless, the 35-year-old turned his score into the red on Sunday after two late bogeys. In an interview, he spoke about the challenges of the tournament week.

PGA Championship 2024: Rory McIlroy Interview

Question: The whole week, has it been a case of some steps forward and then back and forward and back and it just wasn’t enough?

Rory McIlroy: Yeah, I think so. Obviously started the week well, and then I’ve obviously played decent over the weekend. As I said, that sort of six-hole stretch on the back nine yesterday, not being able to hole any putts, I’ll probably rue that. Then the 71 on Friday, as well, was obviously not what I was looking for. Obviously put myself too far back.

Overall playing solid, game is in good shape, and I’ve got a week off and then another busy stretch coming up.

Question: The sense that you’ve turned your season since the team win in the Zurich with Shane, obviously last week running away on that final day at Wells Fargo when you found your vintage game, that whole feeling, you must feel like you have to keep it going, certainly for the majors season. How are you feeling about that?

Rory McIlroy: Yeah, I’m feeling good about that. I’ve been on a big stretch of golf here. I think this was my sixth event in seven weeks. I’ve got a week off and then I’m playing another four in a row. I’m feeling good about my game. I feel like things are sort of clicking more, especially after the win in New Orleans. Obviously played well last week in Charlotte. Have a week here to sort of reset and try to get going again.

WITB: Shane Lowry’s Clubs for the PGA Championship 2024

The Moving Day of the PGA Championship 2024 is over and Shane Lowry just missed a record score that hasn’t been broken for over 100 years by a few centimeters. The 62 he played has been played only four times in the history of the major event. With two mediocre rounds on the first two days, Lowry’s only goal was to get himself back into the tournament, which he certainly did. Helping him reach the newest record round after Schauffele’s 62 on the first day, was his selection of clubs.

PGA Championship 2024: Scottie Scheffler Fought Moving Day Battles without trusted Caddie Ted Scott

What a week for Scottie Scheffler: Arriving just after the birth of his son at the PGA Championship 2024, opening the tournament with an eagle hole out and in contention, being arrested on Friday morning and still shooting 66 to stay among the top players. And then came Saturday, Moving Day and all the turmoil seemed to suddenly catch up with him.

Double bogey, bogey, bogey caused Scheffler to crash down the leaderboard and he didn’t seem like the player we saw win over and over again over the last few month or even the player he was the day before, unflappable even after facing core shaking circumstances. Scheffler brought himself with a birdie out of that downward spiral, but even from there things stayed wobbly. In the end a two over par 73 meant the loss of his impressive streak of 42 consecutive round of par or better.

But another aspect was different for Scheffler on Saturday: After everything that happened during his week so far, Scheffler had to go through moving day without his usual caddie, Ted Scott. Ted Scott flew, as it was planned months in advance, to his daughters high school graduation on Friday.

As a backup for Scott, PGA Tour chaplain Brad Payne took over Scheffler’s bag in Saturday. “It’s one of my older friends who travels week to week out here,” Scheffler said before the tournament. “I trust him to rake a bunker more than my buddies.”

“All-time win for caddies”

But in the end the heavenly support didn’t seem enough to keep Scottie Schefflers head in the game, leading people to ask what role Ted Scott is really playing in Scottie Schefflers success. Golf Digest’s Joel Beall writes on X (formerly Twitter): “Scheffler going south without Ted Scott is an all-time win for caddies.”

Or maybe the events that transpired the day before just took a while to really catch up with the number 1 player in the world. Golf Channel reporter Todd Lewis quotes Scheffler saying: “I don’t think it hit me until this morning what actually transpired yesterday.”

For Sunday, Ted Scott is expected to be back, but from eight shots behind the leaders it would take a miracle for the pair to catch up and hoist the Wanamaker Trophy together.

PGA Championship 2024: Scottie Scheffler Experiences a Pitch-Black Day

Scottie Scheffler went into the PGA Championship 2024 as one of the most dangerous favorites and lived up to this position in the first two rounds despite being arrested in the meantime. On Moving Day, however, he had an extremely bad day by his standards, which dropped him down the leaderboard to 24th place.

Setback at the 2024 PGA Championship for Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler’s start to the round was a big surprise. The world number 1 initially moved down the leaderboard on Moving Day. After his tee shot on hole 2 landed in the fairway bunker, he also failed to play around and onto the green, meaning Scheffler recorded a 6 on the par-4. This was followed by two bogeys and a score that the world number one has rarely presented to us in recent months and years. Scheffler kept his head above water with two birdies on holes 5 and 7 before a fourth slip-up followed: Bogey number 3 on hole 8.

Scheffler was not spared from losing strokes on the back nine either. He made two more birdies, which were stifled by a bogey on the following hole. At least he finished his round with a birdie on the 18th. At two strokes over par, the favorite for the title lost touch with the leaders on moving day.

Tension on the last 18 holes

With a total of seven strokes under par, Scottie Scheffler is tied 24th after 54 holes. He is therefore eight strokes behind the two leaders: Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa. The two golfers were already neck-and-neck on Saturday, so an exciting final can be expected. In addition, they are under pressure from a tight chasing pack that includes Bryson DeChambeau and Shane Lowry.

PGA Championship 2024: Rory McIlroy Struggles With The Putter

Rory McIlroy experienced an up-and-down Moving Day, and although he posted a very good score on the first half of the round, he “only” managed a 68, three shots under par. He was unable to close the gap on the leader of the PGA Championship 2024 by much, so he will have to hope for a miracle in the final to have a chance of winning.

PGA Championship 2024

Rory McIlroy’s start on Moving Day was a little bumpy. The Northern Irishman was shaken awake by a bogey on his very first hole, the par 4-1. What followed was a race to catch up, as we know it from McIlroy. A birdie on the 4th was followed by a birdie series of four birdies and thus a rise up the leaderboard. He suffered a setback on the par-3 14th when his tee shot clearly missed the green and McIlroy only sank the ball in the hole with his fourth shot. Another bogey followed on hole 16, but McIlroy still managed a conciliatory finish when he managed a final stroke gain on the final hole.

Rory McIlroy: “I may rue that six-hole stretch where I wasn’t able to hole any putts”

Rory McIlroy sums up after the round: “Yeah, really got it going around the turn there to get to 4-under, and then I kept hitting good shots and had good looks at 11, 12 and 13, 15. Then I made two bogeys with a missed putt on 14, a three-putt. Yeah, there was a six-hole stretch there, seven-hole stretch where just sort of the putter cooled on me. Depending on what happens tomorrow, that’s sort of the – if I look back on the tournament, I may rue that six-hole stretch where I wasn’t able to hole any putts.” Nevertheless, he is confident: “I have to go out there and try to shoot a low one. I putted really well on Thursday, and then just the last couple days it’s sort of deserted me. Yeah, I need the putter to sort of heat up again, and with everything else it’s doing, there’s certainly another low one in me.”
