Preamble
Welcome to our coverage of the 108th PGA Championship. It’s only the second time the tournament has been held at Aronimink Golf Club, about 30 minutes west of Philly; the first time was in 1962, when Gary Player won the first of his two PGA Championships. The world number one Scottie Scheffler defends, the Masters champion Rory McIlroy goes for stage two of the calendar grand slam, the in-form Cameron Young looks to make it 11 wins in a row for the USA, and the equally on-song Matt Fitzpatrick attempts to become the first English winner since 1919 (!). Many other narratives are available, and will pan out over the next four days. So let’s waste no more time, because the early starters are already out there. It’s on!
