, Southern Hills underwent extensive renovations to prepare for the 2007 PGA Championship, including new greens and renovated bunkers, as well as an upgrade to the clubhouse.

Joking about the heat after hooking one of his drives into the trees, Colin Montgomerie
said "at least it's in the shade".

began his campaign for his 13th major victory by shooting a 71 (+1). Other notable scores include: John Daly

scored a 63, tying the record for the lowest single-round score at a major championship. The feat had been previously accomplished 22 times by 20 other players, and also tied the course record set by Raymond Floyd
in the 1982 PGA Championship. His birdie putt on the 18th hole for the record outright horseshoed around the cup but did not fall. Local fan favorite and former Oklahoma State golfer Scott Verplank
also had good round with a score of 66. The cut was at 145 (+5) and 72 players advanced. Only two PGA club professionals made the cut. Jim Furyk

shot the low round of the day, a five-under par 65. Sergio García
was disqualified after the third round for signing an incorrect scorecard. Had he signed it correctly, he would have been at 219 (+9) in a tie for 63rd place. The scoring average for the round was 71.92 (+1.92) with 15 players under par for the round.
and improved to 13-0 in major championships when holding at least a share of the 54-hole lead. He led by as many as five strokes in the third and fourth rounds. However, his bogey on the 14th hole, coupled with Woody Austin's 3rd consecutive birdie at the 13th, whittled Woods' lead down to a single stroke. Woods rebounded, however, with a birdie on the 15th hole, and then parred in to claim the championship. Simon Dyson shot the low round of the day with a 64 (-6). The scoring average for the round was 71.82 (+1.82) with 16 players under par for the round.

The scoring average for the round was 71.82 (+1.82) with 16 players under par for the round.
