Keegan Lands with the Coveted PGA Championship Trophy
Only the third first-timer to win a major event in the history of the sport, for Rookie Keegan Bradley, it was more of a family tradition than anything else. Representing the third generation of professional golfers, Bradley is the proud grandson of Ping G20 Irons
the LPGA Hall of Famer Pat Bradley and comes with a distinct advantage over the rest of the contenders on the tour.Bradley won the HP Byron Nelson on the PGA Tour and was in his best form in the season, rightfully poised to clinch his first major of his career.

and Vijay Singh are the other two winners in the four-year history of the playoffs. When Woods won in both 2007 and 2009, he was first in the standings entering the playoffs. Singh made the biggest jump, winning after starting in seventh place. He won the first two playoff events to make for an easy path. By the time he got to East Lake, all he Ping G20 Fairway Wood
had to do was show up, and the crown was his.There will be new names in Atlanta this year. With 11 first-time winners on the PGA Tour this season, the field is wide open. Woods, who failed to finish in the top 125, will not be in attendance for the second consecutive year.
