The second men’s Major of the year comes from Aronimink Golf Club in Philadelphia with the PGA Championship.
It’s the second time the course has hosted the event, having also been the location for the 1962 edition, which was won by Gary Player.
Over six decades on, Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion, after he eased to a five-shot win over Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau at Quail Hollow to lift the Wanamaker Trophy.
That was Scheffler’s first PGA Championship title, and he’s the favorite to win again this year.
For the opening two rounds, he’ll play alongside Major winners Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose, with the three getting underway at 2:05pm EDT on Thursday and 8:40am EDT on Friday.
