PGA Championship weather update Day 2: Will thunderstorms affect Friday's second round at Valhalla?

In Round 1 of the 2024 PGA Championship, the 153 golfers who took part enjoyed great weather for a good game of golf. After the conclusion of the round, Xander Schauffele was in first place with a three-stroke lead over Sahith Theegala, Tony Finau, and Mark Hubbard.

While Round 1 also witnessed some great action from other golfers, fans are keen on knowing whether the weather will allow them to see good play in Round 2 as well. As per the tournament's official forecast, Round 2 of the PGA Championship will most likely face Thunderstorms.

Furthermore, there is a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms occurring at the Valhalla Golf Club, in Louisville, Kentucky. Also, due to the strong winds and monsoon-like conditions expected to occur on Friday, there is a possibility that fans might see weather delays take place in Round 2 of the PGA Championship.

A statement from the official weather forecast of the tournament read:

"A low-pressure system will bring showers and thunderstorms to the region throughout the day Friday. Rainfall could be heavy at times, especially with thunderstorms."
