Golf fans will be able to alter the course of the par-three 15th at Oakhill ahead of next month's PGA Championship in an online poll.

Golf fans have been offered a unique opportunity by the PGA, as the results of an online poll will design part of the course for next month's PGA Championship.

Fans will be able to decide where to place the pin on the par-three 15th at Oak Hill Country Club, Rochester, New York in the 'PGA Championship Pick the Hole Location Challenge'.

The poll offers four different positions for the pin on the 181-yard hole, which slopes downhill to a narrow green and is surrounded by water and two bunkers.

Jack Nicklaus, who won his fifth PGA championship title at Oakhill in 1980, is pioneering the challenge and has hailed it as a fantastic opportunity.

"The chance for golf fans to interact with the PGA Championship and play a role in shaping the outcome of the final round fascinates me," Nicklaus told the PGA's official website.

"It's like being able to call the shots during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. In addition to playing a key role in the outcome of the Championship, golf fans can learn many aspects of on-course strategy, as the PGA of America and I present educational videos to enhance their golf experience.

"I believe this new concept will serve as an exciting hands-on learning experience for golf fans and I'm happy to be involved."

PGA President Ted Bishop believes that the poll - the first of its kind in the sport - will enhance the link between the players and the spectators.

"The PGA of America is delighted to present this innovative opportunity, as we believe this is the first time that consumers have been able to make a direct and significant impact on a global sports arena," said Bishop.

Voting for the poll closes on August 10.
