"Glory's Last Shot" begins this morning when the 2009 PGA Championship tees off at Hazeltine. We've had two memorable playoffs (Masters, British Open) and a wild Monday finish (U.S. Open) in the majors this year so it's safe to say we can expect some excitement this week when the world's best tee off on the longest course in major championship history (7,674 yards). Length is the hot topic of the week but here's what else people are talking about this week...

• Jay Coffin from the Golf Channel gives you some things to watch for in round one.
• Doug Ferguson from the AP talks to some of the players about the length of the golf course which features three par 5's over 600 yards.
• Bradley Klein from Golfweek gives you more history on the course including what changes were made for this year's event, what holes and shots to watch for and his ratings on course features like routing and variety and memorability.
• Mark Whicker from the O.C. Register says Padraig Harrington will continue the momentum he picked up last week at Firestone and contend this weekend.
• One of my favorite parts of major championship week is Jason Sobel's live blog on ESPN.com. Great insight into on-course and behind-the-scenes activity and great interaction with readers. Check it out at some point today. Sobel also ranks his top 25 players in the field this week and four of the top five wear FootJoy! You might be surprised by his #1 pick....

Enjoy the PGA Championship!
