U.S. PGA Championship. The event takes place annually, normally during the second weekend of April and has been played at the beautiful Augusta National Golf Club since 1934 (87 years and running). Unsurprisingly, the Masters boast one of the biggest prize purses, with the victor slated to take home a whopping $11.5 million and the prestigious Green Jacket.

However, even if you watch from home it’s always a highly entertaining event.
