PGA Championship: main flight line-up, where and when to watch the golf major

PGA Championship tournament information

Previously held in mid-August, serving as the fourth and final men's major of the golf season, starting from 2019, the tournament has been held in May, serving as the second major tournament of the season after the Masters Tournament in April.

This is an official money event on the PGA Tour, European Tour, and Japan Golf Tour, with a prize fund of $11 million for the 100th tournament in 2018.

Like other major tournaments, winning the PGA Championship provides privileges that enhance career security. PGA champions are automatically invited to participate in the other three majors (the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open Championship), and The Players Championship for the next five years, as well as having a lifetime exemption to play in the PGA Championship.

The PGA Championship is the only one of the four majors exclusively for professional players.
