PGA Championship at a glance

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — A brief look at the 94th PGA Championship, which starts today on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island (all times CDT): SITE Kiawah Island (Ocean Course).

LENGTH 7,676 yards. PAR 36-36 — 72.

LAST YEAR Keegan Bradley became only the third player in the past 100 years to win a major in his first try by winning a playoff at Atlanta Athletic Club. Five shots behind with three holes to play, Bradley went birdie-birdie-par for a 68, which got him into a three-hole playoff when Jason Dufner produced a late collapse. Dufner made three consecutive bogeys and finished with a par to join Bradley at 8under 272. Bradley made a 4-foot birdie putt on the 16th, Dufner three-putted for bogey on the 17th to fall two behind, and Bradley closed him out with a par. Tiger Woods missed the cut for the first time in a PGA Championship.

KEY STATISTIC Since the world ranking began in 1986, the PGA Championship has had nine champions who were among the top 10 in the world, the fewest of any major.

NOTEWORTHY Sixteen players have won the past 16 majors, a streak that does not include Tiger Woods.

QUOTEWORTHY “For viewers at home, I think it’s more exciting to watch a tournament not really knowing who’s going to win. I think there were five or 10 years where you knew one or two guys were going to win.” — Webb Simpson.
