Round summaries

First round

Thursday, May 16, 2024

Xander Schauffele took the first-round lead with a 62, tying the record for lowest round at a major championship and breaking the course record of 63, set by José María Olazábal in the 2000 PGA Championship. Schauffele also became the first player to shoot 62 multiple times in majors, having previously done so in the first round of the 2023 U.S. Open.[14]

Second round

Friday, May 17, 2024
Saturday, May 18, 2024

Tee times were delayed due to a fatal traffic accident near Valhalla Golf Club, which led to a police response in the area and created difficulty for players entering the club. World number one Scottie Scheffler was arrested following an incident with a police officer while attempting to enter the venue and taken to a nearby jail; he was charged and released in time to make his delayed 10:08 am tee time.[15]

Play was suspended at 8:42 pm Eastern Time due to darkness, with 18 players remaining on the course. The cut came at 141 (one under par), as soft and calm conditions produced low scoring for the field. Notables to miss the cut included numbers four, five and six in the Official World Golf Ranking: Wyndham Clark, Jon Rahm, and Ludvig Åberg, and four-time PGA champion Tiger Woods.[16] Also missing the cut was PGA Professional Michael Block, who finished T15 in 2023, while Jeremy Wells and Braden Shattuck made the cut.

Third round

Saturday, May 18, 2024

Starting eight strokes off the lead, Shane Lowry shot a bogey-free 62 to move into contention. This tied the record for lowest round in a major championship. Xander Schauffele maintained his lead, although it was now a co-lead alongside 2020 champion Collin Morikawa.[17]

Final round

Sunday, May 19, 2024

Summary

Xander Schauffele birdied the final hole to shoot 65 and win the PGA Championship by one stroke over Bryson DeChambeau.[18] Schauffele led the tournament wire-to-wire to win the first major championship of his career, and his winning total of 21-under broke the major championship scoring record.[19] Braden Shattuck earned the Crystal Ball as the low PGA Professional.
