This year’s PGA Championship ticket prices have reached its lowest in the past four years.

According to TicketIQ, the average price of tickets on the secondary market were listed at $94. This is the cheapest single-day priced ticket since 2015 when tickets dropped to an average of $70, and were the second-cheapest priced tickets since 2012.

The prices could have plummeted for a number of reasons, including the 60 degree temperatures with the possibility of rain, Ticket IQ founder Jesse Lawrence said in a blog post. Additionally, Lawrence noted that it may be difficult for families to attend the Championship since the tour has shifted from its traditional date in August too May.

“As a result of all those factors, there’s an opportunity to see Tiger and the rest of the field for prices [that] are historically cheap and well below the $110 face price,” Lawrence wrote.

The Championship kicked-off yesterday and will run through Sunday. Conducted by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America, the event is one of the four major championships in professional golf. The 43-year-old golf star Tiger Woods played yesterday at Bethpage Black, the same course he played during the 2002 U.S. Open and won; Woods has been crowned the champion of the past four PGA Championships. This year’s purse is $11 million.

Tickets to the event this weekend are still available via Ticket Club.
