If you’re a golf fan, this is one of the biggest days of the golf season — there are only four major championship Sundays per year. But it’s also one of the saddest, as it marks the conclusion to majors season and the start of an interminable eight-month wait until you hear that treacly theme music on TV and the Masters begins. The PGA Championship is not going to hold the anchor spot on the major championship calendar much longer, but it’s there for the next two years and Sunday will be the final major showcase of the season.

And the round should move pretty fast compared to Saturday’s debacle. A Friday night storm pushed the finish of the second round into Saturday morning, the cut was made, and then the PGA of America put the remaining field out in threesomes off No. 1 tee for the third round. It was a two-hour block of tee times that ensured, barring no more weather delays, that we’d get the third round done by Saturday night and start Sunday morning with a fresh slate. The heat, setup, and some slow players did their best to challenge that notion, however, with some rounds pushing almost six hours. The final group of Kevin Kisner, Hideki Matsuyama, and Jason Day took five hours and 40 minutes to play their round, which is just unacceptable.
Sunday’s tee sheet is the more traditional, and hopefully fast-moving, twosomes rolling off No. 1 tee throughout the entire day. The PGA is assuming these rounds will come in around four hours, or slightly more, with the final group going at 2:45 p.m. ET and aiming for a 7 p.m. finish on CBS. That’s the hope, anyways! The weather forecast has improved significantly so we should be able to get everything done and avoid the dreaded Monday finish.
