The bad news: The 2023 PGA Championship had its first-round start delayed on Thursday morning, with golfers’ tee times getting moved back with frigid temperatures in Rochester, New York causing a frost delay.
The good news: The photos of Oak Hill — hosting the PGA Championship for the first time since 2013 when Jason Dufner won — with all that frost made for some gorgeous shots.
So while you wait for the second major tournament of the year to officially start, check out the photos (plus a video of Shane Lowry!) of the frost-covered course before things warm up and we get some actual golf to watch.
