Justin Thomas claimed another major at last year’s PGA Championship via a playoff, and he seems to be heavily involved in the show. The talk of the PGA coverage, however, will undoubtedly focus on Mito Pereira and his blown chance at history. After leaving his birdie putt on the lip on the 17th, Pereira drilled his tee shot on 18 into a creek on the right side of the fairway and made double-bogey 6 to miss a playoff by one shot.
As our Steve DiMeglio wrote: “In 15 minutes, he lost his grip on the Wanamaker, his place in history and his chance to put his first PGA Tour title on his resume.”
Pereira was listed as an early commit to the show in January, so I’d imagine the cameras were rolling the entire week at Southern Hills. It’ll also be interesting to see if the producers are able to turn anything around after his recent reported move to LIV Golf.
