When is PGA Championship? Dates, schedule, course and how to watch Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler

Rory McIlroy begins the PGA Championship after glory at the Masters with his next major stop aiming to keep alive an audacious bid to claim a calendar slam.

After a thrilling and emotional victory at Augusta National, completing the grand slam by slipping on the green jacket, McIlroy will hope to pick up his third PGA Championship this week at Quail Hollow, after victories in 2012 an 2014.

Defending champion Xander Schauffele and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be highly fancied, Bryson DeChambau is back to winning ways on the LIV Golf tour and will hope to contend for a third career major, while Jordan Spieth could join McIlroy and complete the grand slam with victory.

In a Ryder Cup year, set to be hosted by the United States in September at Bethpage Black, contending on US soil could prove decisive for players in their efforts to impress Team Europe captain Luke Donald, making the remaining majors vital in the race to qualify automatically or earn a precious wildcard.

Here’s everything you need to know about the second major of the men’s golf season.
