- Tiger Woods still unable to commit to Ryder Cup captaincy
- Rory McIlroy files for divorce from wife of seven years
On one of the more chaotic days in the buildup to a major championship thunderstorms disrupted practice sessions, interviews were cancelled and then reinstated, Tiger Woods said he may not have time to become the Ryder Cup captain and shock news emerged that Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce. If this was a sign of things to come, Valhalla and the 106th staging of the US PGA Championship could prove quite the scene.
Weather disruption was a theme when McIlroy won this event at Valhalla in 2014, his last major success. The threat of electric storms caused play to be halted shortly before 10am on Tuesday, with pre-event media conferences for the remainder of the day scrapped. More inclement conditions feature in the forecast for the remainder of this week, which is sure to cause anxiety among the hierarchy of the PGA of America.
