Welcome to PGA Championship week!

Team Titleist is on site at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield Township, New Jersey for the PGA TOUR's final major of the season and we're bringing you inside the ropes for a closer look at all of the action.

Day 1 was certainly a hot one but that didn't stop the world's best players from getting to work on the A.W. Tillinghast designed layout. We covered a lot of ground today, so we hope you enjoy some of our favorite shots in the gallery above.

Make sure you follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for updates throughout the day and check back soon for more exclusive content.
