The PGA Championship Week at Valhalla Golf Course is going on this week from Monday, May 13 to Sunday, May 19. The impact of this week of golf cannot be understated.
According to Louisville Metro Government’s Economic Development Agency, the PGA Championship Week is set to bring in $80 million for the city’s economy from Monday through Sunday. Fans of the sport are also flooding the city, with an estimated 200,000 visitors coming to Louisville throughout the week.
