Best moments from 2017 PGA Championship Media Day
The 99th edition of the PGA Championship may be two months away, but the host city, Charlotte, N.C., got a sneak peek of what's to come today at PGA Championship Media Day.
Media day started early as defending PGA Champion Jimmy Walker met with the folks from Golf Channel's Morning Drive on the course at Quail Hollow.

Walker then took to Facebook Live for his fireside chat where he answered questions about golf, dad life and even aliens.

Jimmy Walker will defend his title from August 7-13, at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. The Queen City seems to suit him well.
