PGA Championship 2021: when is the US golf major at Kiawah Island, UK tee times, odds - and how to watch on TV

Rory McIlroy is widely tipped to compete for honours on the same course he won his 2012 USPGA but will come up against a full-strength field

The 2021 US PGA Championship is almost upon us.

A star-studded field of golf’s elite will return to the Kiawah Island course to compete at the USPGA for the first time since 2012 when Rory McIlroy took the honours.

McIlroy is tipped to be in contention to lift the Wanamaker Trophy, which he also won two years later at the Valhalla Golf Club, after victory at the Wells Fargo Championship earlier this month.
