When the PGA Championship rolls into town, it brings more than just world-class golf—it brings a front-row seat for the neighbors lucky enough to live along the fairways. As some of the biggest names in the sport compete at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, residents are turning their backyards into prime viewing destinations.

Take Doug Siberski, for example. His home backs right up to the course, and in just a few hours, wooden steps and benches went up to create a makeshift viewing area overlooking the first fairway. "They did a fantastic job," Siberski said, noting that the setup gives him and his guests a birdie's-eye view of the action. Of course, it wasn't without a few adjustments—like renting scaffolding to see over a temporary fence separating his property from the course.

"It was exciting for the last year or so to see the infrastructure go up," Siberski added, reflecting on the buildup to the tournament. While Aronimink has hosted major events before, he acknowledged, "This is just a little bit bigger." And with the PGA Championship being one of golf's four major championships, he's not wrong.

Next door, the viewing experience has gone full-scale. Event planner Adam Muhlenhaupt has spent the past eight months organizing a weekend-long bash for a client during the championship. "The fact that the PGA, we got Rory, Scottie, some of the biggest names coming through, it is once in a lifetime," Muhlenhaupt said. His setup includes a stage, dance floor, tables, chairs, and decorations—all designed to accommodate a crowd of about 1,000 people over the weekend. The key, he says, is maintaining clear sightlines to the course so no one misses a single swing.

For these neighbors, the PGA Championship isn't just a tournament—it's a chance to share the excitement of the game from the comfort of home. Whether you're watching from a simple bench or a full-blown party setup, one thing's clear: when golf's biggest names come to town, the view from the backyard is hard to beat.
