On the second Saturday in August 2008, there will be a good deal of temptingly interesting sport to watch. The fourth major of the golfing year, the US PGA Championship, will be under way in Michigan: perhaps Tiger Woods will be on his way to achieving the Grand Slam.
In the UK, the final Test at The Oval will be taking place between England and South Africa, for the past decade the best-matched international cricket teams – a full house is guaranteed – and there will be horse racing at Ascot. Across Europe, the football season will just be getting into gear.
