NEW YORK _ CBS long favored moving the PGA Championship from August to May, and so it came to pass, starting next week at Bethpage Black.
What no one anticipated was that the move would coincide with an extraordinary stroke of luck, or more to the point, 275 strokes from Tiger Woods en route to winning the Masters last month.
"This is unquestionably one of the great cases of serendipity when it comes to scheduling that I've ever seen in the sports broadcasting world," CBS' Jim Nantz said Wednesday on a conference call to promote the event.
