Oak Hill Weather: Friday Forecast for 2023 PGA Championship Round 2 Includes Heavier Wind

The PGA Championship is underway. After a busy Day 1 at Oak Hill Country Club on Thursday, the golfers are ready to get back at it for Round 2 on Friday.

While many are wondering who will make and miss the cut, viewers should keep an eye on the weather forecast for the second day of the tournament before placing any bets.

Oak Hill Country Club Weather

Like any sporting event that takes place outdoors, the PGA Championship is susceptible to the weather. That was certainly the case last month at Augusta, where inclement weather conditions halted and delayed play several times during The Masters.

Due to its location in upstate New York near Lake Ontario, Oak Hill can be impacted by lake effects like heavy precipitation, cooler temperatures, and generally unpredictable weather. That can make navigating an already-challenging course even harder for golfers, who may have to play through cold, windy conditions.

PGA Championship Weather Friday Round 2

Luckily for the golfers and attendees at Oak Hill, the weather forecast for Day 2 of the tournament on Friday looks beautiful. According to AccuWeather, the forecast calls for a warm spring day with temps rising to 78 degrees. The day will be mostly cloudy and breezy as well with 15 mph winds and gusts up to 27 mph.

Friday looks considerably warmer than Thursday, which started in the high 30s before ultimately getting up into the 60s. The weather is projected to be windier as well, however, which could affect drives and longer shots. Golfers will need to be mindful of the wind when teeing off and factor it in when approaching the green.
