2010 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
Tickets for Wisconsin’s next date with a major golf championship are officially on sale right now.
Ticket packages for the 92nd PGA Championship – scheduled to be played at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan on Aug. 12-15, 2010 – may be purchased through the official championship Web site at www.pga2010.com or by phone at (800) PGA-GOLF. Customer orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Ticket prices range from $30 for a one-day, Monday practice round ticket to $450 for a week-long, premium Wanamaker Club ticket.
For the first time at Whistling Straits, viewing areas will be constructed in various areas around the course, so spectators can sit down in a shaded, open-air venue and watch the action. Similarly, a new grandstand with reserved seating will be added next to the 18th green.
The PGA of America is also making it easy for junior players to see the top names in golf. Juniors ages 17 and under will be allowed access to the Whistling Straits grounds during tournament week provided they accompany a ticketed adult. Each ticketed adult will be allowed to bring with them as many as four juniors, but tickets for those juniors will have to picked up at the Will Call office on the day of admission.
For complete information regarding the 2010 PGA Championship, visit www.pga2010.com or www.destinationkohler.com. To discuss hospitality packages or volunteer opportunities, call the tournament office at (920) 565-4300.
The PGA Championship last visited The Straits in August 2004, when Vijay Singh won the Wanamaker Trophy for the second time in a playoff over Justin Leonard and Chris DiMarco. All three shot 8-under-par 280 for the week. Singh also won the PGA Championship in 1998, as well as the 2000 Masters.
