How to watch the PGA Championship: Start time, channels, and other things

Have you recovered from The Masters? Good, because the PGA Championship, the second men's golf major of the year, is about to begin.

Then, Jason Dufner overcame his position as the world's No. 21 player to secure a surprising upset victory. Any golfer seeking to defy the odds today, ten years later, will have to overcome a field loaded with firepower.

Thomas won the 2018 PGA Championship and second major of his career with a victory at Southern Hills last year. He previously won the 99th edition of the tournament at Quail Hollow in 2017.
