Kohler's Whistling Straits prepares for PGA Championship
Whistling Straits course construction is officially underway for the 2015 PGA Championship, in Kohler, Wis.
Approximately 190 temporary structures are being built on the course.
The PGA Championship will be played August 10-16 on the Straits Course at Whistling Straits, which also hosted the PGA Championship in 2004 and 2010. It will be broadcast on CBS 58.
“We are tremendously excited to officially have on-course construction underway here at Whistling Straits,” said 2015 PGA Championship Director Jason Mengel. “With 75 days remaining until the Championship, we're right on schedule. It's a very busy and fun time, made even more thrilling by the incredible support we've seen from fans in Wisconsin, across the United States and around the world, as well as from our many corporate partners.”
Only a limited number of daily tickets for the 2015 PGA Championship remain available for purchase at www.PGAChampionship.com.
In particular, daily Championship-round tickets (Thursday-Sunday) are predicted to sell-out well in advance of the 2015 PGA Championship, as they did prior to the 2013 and 2014 PGA Championships. All weekly ticket options sold out last year, with ticket purchasers from all 50 states and 28 countries.
Fans should also note that each ticketed adult can bring up to four juniors (age 17 and under) with them for free each day of the Championship.
