The PGA was clearly taking notes on the viewership. With the NBA in the middle of their playoffs, it’s no surprise that the PGA is rolling out a big three of their own. They have officially announced the super pairing of Brooks Koepka, Francesco Molinari and Tiger Woods. 


Tiger coming fresh off his 2019 Masters win, Molinari who set a record in the Ryder cup and won last year’s Open championship and Koepka who won last year’s PGA and U.S. Open Championship. Keeping the tradition of the last three major champs being paired together was a no brainer for the PGA.

Any pairing with Tiger is obviously going to generate ratings but by adding in Chicco (Francesco Molinari) and Brooks you can count on much of the golf world tuning in to watch. With the tour stacking the last 3 major champions on one tee time the expectations will be high. If there are no late breaking injuries, we can tune in to watch these Major Champions tee off on May 16th and 17th.

It wouldn’t surprise me if two of the three are paired together on Sunday afternoon of the PGA Championship. Will Brooks continue his Major championship domination? Will Molinari continue proving that he is one of the best European players in the world? Will Tiger be able to win back to back majors?  We will find out soon enough.
