The PGA championship is a yearly golf tournament, played in mid-August. The PGA Championship is one of the four major championships in golf, along with the the Masters Tournament, U.S Open and the Open Championship. The PGA Championship is the last event to be played and concludes the golf season. With a worth of ten million dollars in 2014, it is one of the most lucrative golf events. The winner of last year's PGA Championship, Rory McIlroy, bagged a winning prize of 1.8 million dollars. Apart from the financial benefits, winning the PGA Championship gives a golfer several other benefits as well. It makes the winner eligible to play in the other three major tournaments for the next five years and exempts them from having to qualify for the PGA Championship, for the rest of their career.

The PGA Championship has a long history which has seen many superb golfers being crowned champions. The first PGA championship was played in 1916, when the match play scoring format was still used. In 1958 the scoring format was changed to stroke play and it is still in use today. Jack Nicklaus, the American golfer, holds the record for winning the PGA championship the most number of times. He won the championship an unparalleled five times between 1963 and 1980. Nicklaus is followed by Tiger Woods, the eleven time PGA Player of the Year, who has managed to win this prestigious event four times. Rory Mcllroy's win in 2013, was the second time he won the championship and it makes him stand on equal footing with golfers such as Vijay Singh and Nick Price, who have also won the event twice.

The PGA Championship 2015 will be interesting to watch with the course length spread over more than seventy five hundred yards. The Straits Course will have to be covered in seventy two strokes for the golfer to be at par. With even the trickiest of holes offering a maximum of five strokes, players will need to be at their best when they step on the grassy green. The course is sprawling with steeply rising dunes and series of bunkers. For most of the starting holes, Lake Michigan which borders the golf course will be an added obstacle to avoid. As seen in the 2014 PGA Championship, even rain and impending darkness do not interrupt the master strokes that can be witnessed in this competitive event.
