The beautiful Aronimink Golf Club, located in Newtown Square (just west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), is hosting the 108th edition of the PGA Championship this week. Thursday to Sunday is when it all goes down.

The weather looks to largely agree, but will it be a hole-in-one?

Forecast

Long story short, as the event proceeds, the chances of rain drops, but the temperature should increase. With those increases in temperature comes an increase in humidity. Winds also shift direction but remain largely consistent in terms of speed.

Golf, like other sports, is a game of inches. All weather factors need to be taken into consideration for the golfers. The graphic below has more information.

Thursday

On the first day of this event, the weather is looking mainly good. There is a slight chance of a shower in the morning or early afternoon. Fortunately, this clears up as the afternoon progresses. The high is looking to be in the low to mid 60s, and a west-northwest wind between 10-15 mph is possible.

Friday

For Friday, the rain chances are greatly reduced, and the temperature is slightly warmer. A high in the lower 70s is expected with a northwest wind of 10-15 mph.

Saturday

The pattern of warmer temperatures continues. The high is now in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Winds also are expected to shift to come out of the west-southwest from 5-10 mph.

Sunday

The final day of the championship is also the warmest. Highs are expected to climb well into the 80s, with winds out of the west at 10-15 mph.
