## Resource

The PGA Championship is underway in Pennsylvania with 156 of the world's best golfers, but the event long nicknamed the fourth major has a prize money problem that no one in golf is ignoring. FOS reporter David Rumsey is on the ground at Aronimink and the business storylines surrounding this tournament are as compelling as anything happening on the course. The PGA of America has a new CEO who just stepped into the public eye for the first time since being hired in February, and he had things to say about the tournament's identity, its date, and whether it could ever leave the United States. There are also 11 LIV players in the field this week including Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, and the future of both of them on LIV is genuinely uncertain in ways that could reshape the entire golf landscape before the year is out. Then there is the food situation, which is more interesting than it sounds. General admission to the PGA Championship includes all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages baked into the ticket price, and the secondary ticket market this week has done something unexpected for a sold-out event. David Rumsey has all the details from inside the ropes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
