The final major of the year begins today at the Bellerive Country Club in Missouri as the finest golfers on the planet battle it out for the US PGA Championship.

Dustin Johnson goes in as the favourite with the bookies to lift the giant trophy this year, although the likes of Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and defending champion Justin Thomas are also fancied.

There is a brand new set-up in terms of coverage in the UK with the tournament not being shown on Sky Sports, BT Sport or the BBC.

Here is everything you need to know about when and where to watch the golf, starting on Thursday…
