Claim 2: “Spieth needs a PGA Championship victory to become just the seventh player in the history of golf to achieve the feat of having won a Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA”
CORROBORATED
Evidence confirms Spieth has won the Masters (2015), U.S. Open (2015), and British Open (2017), and specifically needs the PGA Championship to complete the set. While one source mentions he would be the 'sixth' and the claim says 'seventh', the core factual requirement of the PGA Championship for the career Grand Slam is corroborated across multiple sources.

Claim 3: “the PGA Championship happens to be played this week at Aronimink, outside of Philadelphia”
DISPUTED
The claim states the PGA Championship is being played 'this week' at Aronimink. However, multiple authoritative sources (Wikipedia and web search results) explicitly state that the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club is scheduled for May 11-17, 2026. Therefore, it is not happening 'this week'.
