Five Canadians set to take on Quail Hollow at PGA Championship
Published
The second men's golf major of the season has arrived as the 107th PGA Championship is set to get underway on Thursday from Quail Hollow Golf and Country Club in Charlotte, N.C.
Xander Schauffele will look to defend the Wanamaker Trophy after winning the title last year at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.
Schauffele will be chased by a stacked field including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, two-time PGA champion and 2025 Masters champion Rory McIlroy, three-time PGA winner Brooks Koepka, two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau and other notable names.
