Golf’s governing bodies shifted the PGA Championship to May to avoid the adverse August weather, creating a more cohesive and fan-friendly four-month schedule. This move benefits both fans and players by aligning golf’s major tournaments with better weather and avoiding conflicts with football seasons. The Open Championship, now the concluding event, brings historical prestige and challenges, played across notable British courses. The change emphasizes the traditional, skill-based nature of golf, contrasting with the typical American parkland courses. Xander Schauffele recently won the 152nd Open, highlighting his skill and cementing his status among golf’s elite.
