PGA Championship tee times, format, field, purse, TV schedule, how to watch for 2024
The 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla was always going to be intriguing as the second major championship of the year. But with the storylines and narratives we're watching, it could legitimately be an all-timer for the game of golf.
Coming into the PGA Championship, Rory McIlroy is returning to the venue where he last won a major 10 years ago. Scottie Scheffler, the heavy favorite, is eyeing the second leg of the grand slam after a dominant start to the year and just days after the birth of his first child. Brooks Koepka aims to go back-to-back for the second time at the PGA Championship. Jordan Spieth wants to complete the career grand slam, becoming only the sixth player to do so. Justin Thomas returns home to Kentucky for a major he's won twice. Ludvig Åberg aims to continue his torrid start to his pro career. And the list goes on.
It's going to be can't-miss action in Louisville this week, so we've got you covered with everything to know about the 2024 PGA Championship, starting with the ever-important tee times.
