PGA Championship 2023: Dates, UK tee times, field, course info, live stream free and how to follow action – Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and co head to New York
The second golf major of the year is fast-approaching 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 year 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.

“Sadly the current division in the professional game is not good for the sport or the future of the game. We hope there might be some resolution soon.
