WWJ Newsradio 950 is proud to sponsor the 2008 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Township, MI, August 4 through 10. 

WWJ is your place for live updates as we broadcast sports from the course Thursday through Sunday.

Fifteen times in the last 25 years, someone has made the PGA Championship their first major victory.  Anthony Kim, Kenny Perry and Sergio Garcia are three of the most likely candidates to make that 16 of 26 come Sunday. A lot of people will also be watching Phil Mickelson, who told WWJ's Jeff DeFran earlier this week that he thought that golf should be an Olympic sport.

But for the first time since 1949, the defending champion will not be teeing it up at the PGA Championship, the final major of the golf season. Tiger Woods is still recuperating from knee surgery following his victory at the U.S. Open.

Oakland Hills Country Club was also the host site for the 2004 Ryder Cup Championships.  The South course of Oakland Hills Country Club designed by Donald Ross opened in 1918, and is consistently ranked among the top ten courses in the United States. The North course is ranked in the top ten in Michigan.
