PGA CHAMPIONSHIP - ANY TIPS FOR THOSE WHO'VE BEEN TO OAK HILL??

[tarrantian]

Per the subject line - Going with a buddy, we have 2 'Championship+' tix and going the day of the second round. Wonder if anyone has any tips or advice...

Very excited, my second major after last year's Masters!

Cheers,

I was there in 2013 and have been lucky enough to play a few rounds there.  Its very walkable (relative to other tournament courses) and you cant go wrong watching from anywhere on the course.  The 13th green runs right up against the clubhouse and is sandwiched between 1 and 10.  Any spot around there, especially when players are being sent off on the front and back, is a good place to spend some time.  There is also a great pocket of holes around 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 and then 2, 10, 11, 12 that is a good spot to camp out.  14-18 are tucked away in their own corner and are worth going to watch, but do have less fan energy in the early rounds since its a bit more isolated (of course, that changes based on what groups are going through)

Thank you so much @skywalker90 - Really appreciate the insights. 

(Kind of surprised I've not received a few other responses at least - Much appreciated once again!)

Cheers,

Was out there yesterday and the course was in awesome shape.  Im sure it will be said ad nauseam during the broadcast, but the course underwent a big renovation a few years ago and looks much different than it did in 2013.  Removed hundreds of trees, all the greens were rebuilt, minor tweaks to most holes.  Lots of big names were out there early checking out all the updates.  Should be a fun tournament

I'm very jealous! I went to the PGA last year and had an absolute blast. JT is my favorite golfer so I was following him already when he went on the Sunday push to get into the playoff. Hope to make it to next years PGA!
