PGA Championship 2023 LIVE: Tee times, field, leaderboard, betting tips, course info and how to follow action
The second golf major of the year will take place this week as the game’s best head to New York for the 2023 PGA Championship.
Justin Thomas claimed glory at Southern Hills last year, beating Will Zalatoris in a playoff after Mito Pereira suffered a spectacular final hole collapse.
It was JT’s second major title and he’ll headline another stellar field this year.
The tournament will take place at the superb Oak Hill Country Club, a much-loved venue for many in the game including Rory McIlroy.
The PGA Championship is regarded as having the strongest field of the season and invites twenty PGA club or teaching professionals rather than amateurs like the other majors.
Jon Rahm will no doubt be the man to beat following his superb victory at The Masters in early April.

PGA Championship 2023: What has been said?
A subdued McIlroy admitted he has been working on lowering his expectations ahead of this week’s tournament after his miserable Masters.
"Less expectations," McIlroy said. "Just sort of trying to be in a good spot with taking what comes and not thinking about things too much, not getting ahead of myself.
"Just trying to go out there, play a good first hole of the tournament, and then once I do that, try to play a good second hole and just sort of go from there.
"Golf is golf, and it happens and you're going to have bad days. It wasn't really the performance of Augusta that's hard to get over, it's just more mental aspect and the deflation of it and sort of trying to get your mind in the right place to start going forward again, I guess.
"I think I'm close. I think I've made some good strides even from Quail Hollow a couple weeks ago.

"I'm seeing some better things, better start lines, certainly just some better golf shots. A little more sure of where I'm going to start the ball and sort of a more consistent shot pattern.
