    Bethpage will be one hell of a guinea pig. Last time a Major was held there they were overwhelmed with rain. Now they're moving the event to May, a time when the Northeast historically sees even more rain.

    The average high in San Fran in May is 64.3 degrees.

    Oak Hill's a wonderful course, but Rochester in mid-May has a nonzero chance there will be unmelted snow under some of its trees.

    The PGA of America owns Valhalla, so pencil it in for one PGA per decade from now 'til forever.

    When does the acting PGA president or whoever have their pre-tournament press conference to discuss the direction of the organization? Pete Bevacqua took a parachute out from the CEO job for a big chair at NBC Sports Group, and there's plenty of fallout still from Paul Levy's DUI -- which fortunately for the PGA was overshadowed in the mainstream media because that news came out right around when Mickelson was playing hockey on the 13th at Shinnecock.

    Delighed to see there's no Whistling Straits or Quail Hollow on there.
    This was the year to put it at Cherry Hills in Denver.

    Hard to go against JT or Dustin Johnson. But the PGA? Who knows.

    I'll go with Fleetwood this week, just for giggles.

    Can't see Woods making a run. Tired or not, he can't hit enough fairways right now.

    If the greens are going to be slower, I'd have to favor Euro guys in my form chart. Just don't know which ones.

    Are there just very few "major-type" golf courses in the Midwest and the South? Really wish the PGA didn't replicate the US Open's focus on the coasts.
