• Notes: The PGA Championship was moved up to the last weekend in July because of the Olympics. It last was played in July in 1968, when Julius Boros at age 48 became the oldest major champion at Pecan Valley in San Antonio ... Day will try to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play. Woods did it twice, in 1999-2000 and 2006-07 ... Always the strongest field of the year, the PGA Championship is expected to have 98 of the top 100 in the world. The exceptions are Jaco Van Zyl, who wants to prepare for the Olympics, and Ian Poulter, out the rest of the season recovering from a foot injury ... Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship the last time it was at Baltusrol in 2005 ... This is the ninth major hosted by Baltusrol, including the US Open seven times ... Eleven of the last 12 winners of the PGA Championship had already won earlier in the year. The exception was Jason Dufner in 2013 ... Tiger Woods withdrew because he is recovering from back surgery. It marks the first time he has missed all four majors in one year.

• Next week: Travelers Championship.
