On Thursday, a full field of PGA Tour pros — including the best player in the world — will begin the 2021 Palmetto Championship at Congaree. Here’s what you need to know to watch the first round.
Previewing Palmetto Championship Round 1
The Palmetto Championship may be a one-off event this year (in place of the canceled RBC Canadian Open), but it occupies an important spot on the calendar. Being contested one week before the 2021 U.S. Open, this event is the last chance for pros who have qualified for Torrey Pines to get their games in tournament-shape.
Two players who will be among the favorites next week will be doing just that: World No. 1 Dustin Johnson and two-time U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka. For Johnson, this week is something of a homecoming, as he grew up in South Carolina.
