The PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club is looking at a historically crowded top of the leaderboard. So, it's looking likely that 72 holes might not be enough to decide who gets to lift the Wanamaker Trophy.

If two or more golfers are tied after the completion of Sunday's final round, we'll be looking at a playoff to determine the PGA Championship.
