It is the fourth time Valhalla golf course has hosted the championship.
General manager Keith Reese tells us about some of the changes that have been made to get the course ready.
We did make some changes to the golf course in preparation for this championship where we changed our Fairway turf out.
We went from a cool season, grass bent grass to a warm season.
Grass Zion's idea, which not only is a fantastic playing surface for both the members and and the championship when it comes, but it's also a great story of sustainability.
It takes less water, less chemical inputs.
So there were several reasons why we did that.
The bulk of it was really to make the golf course play as it should each and every day.
But we did also add some length.
We added some additional tees with lengthened hole number one with length, the total number 12, hole number 14, and then most recently hole number 18.
So I think the players will see a bit of a different golf course.
And when they're here, they've been here in the past in August, which you know this, you can see the lush grass around us now that you know, it's got the rough is going to be thick.
It's going to be gnarly.
That'll be something that maybe they didn't see in August that they'll see in May.
That'll be a little different.
So but the fans in general, when they come in, they're going to they're going to see the you know, the clubhouse looks like my old Kentucky home.
They're going to see the the entry drive.
But it's going to has the look and feel of a of a Kentucky farm now, which is fantastic.
