Here's what the world's best golfers will face when they take on Valhalla Golf course in the 96th USPGA Championship

Below, you'll see what the world's best golfers will face when they take on Valhalla Golf Course in the 96th USPGA Championship.

Valhalla is one of the USA's most renowned modern courses, having hosted a number of major tournaments since its opening in 1986.

The Jack Nicklaus-designed course has staged two previous USPGA Championships - in 1996 and 2000, where Tiger Woods edged out Bob May in a dramatic play-off.

Valhalla Golf Course also played host to the 2008 Ryder Cup, the only contest the USA has won since Brookline in 1999.
