Marty Jertson is one of the 20 PGA club pros who will try to achieve the impossible at TPC Harding Park.

PGA

The PGA Championship is an iconic — and potentially career-altering — event. A victory means an automatic entry into the Masters, U.S Open and Open Championship for the next five years (and the PGA Championship for life).

It’s also unique — since it’s run by the PGA of America, club pros can earn a spot in the field to tee it up alongside Tiger Woods and others. Every year, PGA pros at golf clubs around the country participate in the PGA Professional Championship in an attempt to gain entry to the PGA Championship. However, due to the continued impact of Covid-19, the tournament was canceled this year. Instead, the top 20 professionals — dubbed the ‘Team of 20’ — on the 2019 PGA Player of the Year list got spots to compete at TPC Harding.

Here are the 20 players who will try to achieve the spectacular this week:

Jason Caron –  Mill River Club, Inc., Oyster Bay, New York 

Benny Cook – Yankee Springs Golf Course, Caledonia, Michigan

Judd Gibb – Lakeside Municipal Golf Course, Fort Dodge, Iowa

Jeff Hart– PGA of America Life Member, Solana Beach, California

Marty Jertson –  Ping Golf, Inc.

Mike Auterson – Hickory Woods Golf Course, Loveland, Ohio

Danny Balin – Fresh Meadow Country Club, Lake Success, New York

Rich Berberian Jr. – Vesper Country Club, Tyngsboro, Massachusetts

Justin Bersch – Club Pelican Bay, Naples, Florida

Zach J. Johnson –  Davis Park Golf Course, Farmington, Utah

Alex Knoll – Glen Brook Golf Club, Jim Thorpe, Pa.

Rob Labritz – GlenArbor Golf Club, Pound Ridge, N.Y.

David Muttitt – Los Altos Golf Course, Albuquerque, N.M.

John O’Leary – Trump National Golf Club Washington, Sterling, Va.

Rod Perry –  Crane Lakes Golf & Country Club, Port Orange, Fla.

J.R Roth – BOYNE Golf Academy, Farmington, N.M.

Bob Sowards – Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club, Dublin, Ohio

Ryan Vermeer –  Happy Hollow Club, Omaha, Neb.
