This week, PURE Grips' player Matt Jones is preparing for the last Major of the year- the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. Jones, paired with Brian Davis and Ricky Barnes, will tee off at 9:10am EST this Thursday and play till around 2:30 that afternoon. He will be one of the record breaking 73 international players at the PGA Championship.
Whistling Straits hosted the PGA championship back in 2004 when it was won by Vijay Singh. It's located right on the coast of Wisconsin, overlooking panoramic views of Lake Michigan. The course is described as being extremely tough to play with rugged, windswept terrain. We wish Matt the best of luck!
