This year’s field will include Tiger Woods, the world’s top-ranked player and a four-time PGA Champion; 2005 PGA Champion Phil Mickelson, who won the 2013 Open Championship last month; defending PGA Champion and World No. 3 Rory McIlroy; reigning U.S. Open Champion Justin Rose; 2013 Masters Champion Adam Scott, and many more of the world’s best golfers.
In the days leading up to the Championship, SiriusXM hosts Matt Adams, Brian Katrek and John Maginnes will broadcast their daily shows live from Oak Hill, providing fans with daily golf talk and an in-depth analysis of this year’s field. East broadcast day starts at 7:00 am ET with Fairways of Life with Adams. Katrek’s Teed Off can be heard at 9:00 ET and Maginnes on Tap airs at 5:00 pm ET.
