Oakland Hills

The fourth and final major tournament of the PGA season–the PGA Championship–is this week, August 7-10 (2008). The event, nicknamed “Glory’s Last Shot” because it’s the last chance in the year to win a major tournament, will be held at Bloomfield Hills’ Oakland Hills Country Club, just outside of Detroit.

Oakland Hills is a par 70, 7395-yard course as illustrated above. One hundred, fifty-six players will compete for a purse of $7 million. The defending champion is Tiger Woods.
