The second major of the season begins on Thursday as the PGA Championship will kick off at Quail Hollow. Early forecasts call for rain as the week begins which could make for some soft conditions when things get going on Thursday.

As far as need-to-know information what is most important to understand is that Xander Schauffele is the defending champion, Justin Thomas won the event the last time it was held at Quail Hollow and that Rory McIlroy has won often at Quail Hollow... oh and Rory is also the reigning Players and Masters Champion.
Clearly there are a ton of storylines going on, I didn’t even mention Scottie Scheffler, so it stands to reason that you are going to want to watch all week long. Here is how you can do that.
