The PGA Championships at Oak Hill will get underway this week.

Taking place at the famous Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., the world class course is hosting its seventh major overall and fourth PGA - but the first since 2013. Intriguingly, there have been several changes implemented to the course which could give it an air of unpredictability going into the tournament.

Justin Thomas will be returning as the defending champion and If he was to be successful it would mean he would become just the sixth player to clinch the championship three times.

John Rahm is expected to post serious competition though, having already tasted victory four times this year, while Jordan Spieth is hoping to shrug off injury and get the all-clear to challenge for the only major he is missing.

Scottie Scheffler will present a big challenge while Rory McIlroy will be looking to end a Major drought that now stretches back to 2014. Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa and Sam Burns will be among those battling it out for the title as will Englishmen, Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton.
