The European Tour presence at the US PGA Championship will be as strong as it has ever been, with a record equalling 41 Members heading to Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield, New Jersey, next week for the 2005 season’’s fourth and final Major.
The record number of representatives was set in 2003 and equalled in 2004, and once again accentuates the strength and depth of The European Tour, which will be displayed by this powerful presence at Baltrusol.
Among the 41 are debutantes Stephen Dodd of Wales, Englishman Nick Dougherty, Scotsman Stephen Gallacher, Australian Richard Green, Sweden’’s Peter Hanson, Maarten Lafeber of the Netherlands, Henrik Stenson of Sweden and England’’s Steve Webster.
US Open Champion, and current European Tour Order of Merit leader, Michael Campbell of New Zealand is making his first appearance in the States since holding off the challenge of World Number One Tiger Woods at Pinehurst No.2 back in June.
The 87th US PGA Championship, the first to visit historic Baltusrol Golf Club, is the second Championship to be contested in New Jersey. The legendary Sam Snead captured the 1942 US PGA Championship at Seaview Country Club in Atlantic City.
