I attended a PGA many years ago when it was in Edmond. My buddy and I got up early Sunday morning and followed the first group out. That way, no crowds and those 2 guys played FAST so it was a brisk walk. But, more importantly, we could get right next to the tee boxes so we could hear their chatter and the word "press" as they put up their own money for a friendly game. It was a great opportunity to walk the course to see all the holes until we found an ideal spot and parked ourselves there for the rest of the day. Pick up a tee sheet that lists each pairing so you know who's coming through next or to find a pairing you want to follow later.
I do enjoy the Wednesday practice rounds too as previously mentioned; the players are more relaxed, may even engage in a quick exchange with you, less strict on photo ops, and if taking the kiddos -autographs are easier to obtain.
