At the end of a summer and major championship season that signaled the end of the Tiger Woods era in golf, some of the game’s top young stars will battle for the PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, who many posit has already assumed the throne as the next legendary player in the sport, will play again with the 54-hole lead. He is a heavy favorite to win his fourth major championship and second in the last month.
How to watch the 2014 PGA Championship Sunday final round live online
The final round of the PGA Championship has a loaded field on a course that’s delivering weekend fireworks, setting up the a potentially great finish to an underwhelming year at the majors.
McIlroy is on a Tiger-like stretch right now, bombing the ball down the middle of the fairway at an unsustainable clip and deflating his world-class competition. He’s going for his third straight win and second straight major, a career run for almost everyone in golf but something that seems to be just the start of many years of more major wins. He’ll have the best in the world chasing him on Sunday afternoon, but again, he’s in a stretch where his best is better than everyone else’s. He didn’t have that in the third round, but still shot a 67 to stay in front by a shot.
Sunday at PGA Championship
Now comes Rickie Fowler, who will probably join Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to ever finish in the top five at all four majors in one season. He’s obviously ready for it to be the top spot and not another T5. Fowler will be the top American on the Ryder Cup team in a month, and his work with Butch Harmon is clearly paying off. Saturday’s bogey-free round was probably the most clean loop through the course, and should have been a shot or two better to put him closer to Rory. He’s playing the best golf of his life but maybe just in the wrong year. McIlroy kept him at arm’s length throughout that final round at Hoylake. Whatever happens on Sunday, it’s been a huge and encouraging summer for Fowler, who will likely push McIlroy for the next 20 years.

Jason Day, who played with Rory on Saturday, is the third 26-and-under player in contention that’s generally considered one of the top players in his age group. Day has already contended at so many majors, and he’s right there again this week even when he’s not at 100 percent.
Playing with Fowler will be Phil Mickelson, mixing up the age groups of the contenders. Mickelson has had an awful year but is finally putting well enough to contend, building off that 62 he shot at Firestone last Sunday. Between Fowler, Mickelson, and Rory, the PGA and CBS have all they could hope for with no Tiger in the field anymore. And with the way Valhalla is playing, there should be plenty of birdies and constant movement on the leaderboard. Golf is not an ideal sport for television, but Saturday’s round and the scoring provided a flurry late in the day that came at you in waves. The benign conditions should present a similar setup for Sunday’s final round. CBS will have a full simulcast stream up and running for the entire afternoon, in addition to the two specialized streams available at PGA.com.
