KOHLER, Wisconsin (Reuters) - The stage is set for Thursday's opening round at the 97th PGA Championship being held this week for a third time at Whistling Straits, which is viewed by the players both as a 'Beauty' and a 'Beast'.

Measuring 7,514 yards off the back tees, the links-style layout is lush, green, beautifully manicured and stunningly located on the shores of Lake Michigan where eight of the holes are adjacent to the water.
