PGA Championship 2017: The storylines are endless entering the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Will the 99th edition of the event be won by Rory McIlroy, who has absolutely dominated this course in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Many eyes will be on Jordan Spieth to see if he can make history by winning this week to complete the career grand slam, but there are many holes that will need to be played before any real conversation about that can be had.
Before getting into a preview of the event, let's take a quick look at all the vital information you will need to know ahead of Thursday's opening round.
After winning the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational last week, Matsuyama will be seen as one of the favorites this week at Quail Hollow Club.
But this year's field has many contenders looking for PGA Tour glory, particularly Spieth, who will attempt to complete the career grand slam.
After winning the Masters and the U.S. Open in 2015, Spieth went on to win The Open Championship in July. But even with the career grand slam in his sights, the 24-year-old is focused on just golfing well rather than making history.
Rory McIlroy says he has nothing to prove as he chases his first major in three years at the US PGA Championship.
The world number four is among the favourites on a Quail Hollow layout where he has two wins and the course record.
"I'm not putting that much pressure on myself. I've proven myself enough over the last nine years of my career," said the Northern Irishman.Read More:http://super-bowllive.co/pgachampionship/
Story: McIlroy has yet to win a tournament in 2017, though he has 11 top-10 finishes from 19 tournaments across the PGA and European Tours.
"Obviously I wouldn't have won as much as I would have liked this year, and there's been a few components to that, injury-wise, changing equipment and stuff. It has been a bit of a transitional year.
"But I feel like everything has settled. I just want to go out and play my game and hopefully that will be good enough."
McIlroy, the 2012 and 2014 US PGA winner who also took the 2011 US Open and 2014 Open, could become only the third player to win five majors before turning 30, joining Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
