PGA Championship takes center stage and Nelly Korda returns to LPGA Tour in Cincinnati

The PGA Championship is back, and this year, it's bringing all the drama to Aronimink Golf Club for the first time since 1972. With a massive $19 million purse on the line—and the winner taking home over $3.4 million—the stakes couldn't be higher. Scottie Scheffler is looking to defend his title after a dominant five-shot victory last year, making him the first player since Seve Ballesteros to win his first three majors by three shots or more. But the field is stacked, featuring 98 of the top 100 players in the world ranking. Jordan Spieth is chasing history, needing just this one title to complete the career Grand Slam. Rory McIlroy, fresh off his win at the Masters, is aiming to become the first player since Spieth to sweep the first two majors of the year. Keep an eye on past Aronimink winners like Justin Rose and Keegan Bradley, too. With Americans winning the last 10 PGA Championships—the longest streak of any major—the home crowd is buzzing. Catch all the action on ESPN, CBS, and Paramount+ starting Thursday.

Meanwhile, the LPGA Tour is heating up in Cincinnati as Nelly Korda returns to action after a week off. She's on an incredible run, winning three of her last four starts, including her third major at The Chevron Championship and the Riviera Maya Open. Korda has been nothing short of unstoppable this season—playing in the final group in all six of her tournaments, with three wins and three runner-up finishes. That's the best start to a season by any player in years. This week, she'll face a strong field that includes Jeeno Thitikul, fresh off her victory at the Mizuho Americas Open. With a $2 million purse and the winner taking $300,000, the competition is fierce. Tune into the Golf Channel Thursday through Sunday to see if Korda can keep her winning streak alive.
