Where to watch the PGA Championship golf tournament

The 2009 PGA Championship tees off on Thursday, Aug. 13, at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. The year’s final major could also be played at the longest course in PGA Championship history (7,674 yards depending on tee placement).

Padraig Harrington (pictured), who won last year’s PGA by two strokes over Sergio Garcia, will return to defend his title.

Tiger Woods, coming off victories at the Buick Open and the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in recent weeks, will try to win his first and only major this year. He has not gone a year without winning a major since 2004. Woods tied for sixth at this year’s Masters and U.S. Open, and missed the cut at the British Open last month. The long course favors Woods, and it would be shocking not to see him leading or in close contention on Sunday.
