The 98th PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, will be held the week of July 25-31, 2016, to avoid a schedule conflict with the Olympic Games. The PGA Championship will be played in July for the first time since 1968. The Championship, with the exception of 1971, has been conducted in August every year beginning in 1969. The Open Championship is set for July 14-17 at Royal Troon, leaving only 11 days between the final two majors of the year. Baltusrol Golf Club was selected in 2008 as the site of the 98th PGA Championship. The Summer Olympics, scheduled for Aug. 5-21, will be hosted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
