The PGA Championship is organised by the Professional Golfers' Association of America and is the last of the four major championships, preceded by the Masters, the US Open and the Open Championship. This year's event will be the last PGA Championship played in August, with the tournament moving to May in 2019. The defending champion is Justin Thomas, who won at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2017. A maximum field of 156 will include past PGA champions plus the last five Masters, US Open and Open Championship winners. The course has previously hosted two previous majors - the 1965 US Open won by South African Gary Player, and the 1992 PGA Championship won by Zimbabwean Nick Price. Bellerive Country Club is built around a creek that comes into play on nine of the holes. There are water hazards on 11 holes and players will find large and undulating greens. Six of the 12 par-four holes measure more than 450 yards, the longest being the 521-yard fourth. There are four par threes and two par fives, with the eighth hole playing to 610 yards. PGA Championship 2018: Can Jordan Spieth mount a charge? PGA Championship 2018: How will Rory McIlroy get on? Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy has won the PGA Championship twice, in 2012 and 2014, and decided not to visit Bellerive in advance to practice on the course. He said: “I’ve always felt less pressure at the PGA because it’s a golf tournament that I’ve always felt comfortable at. "I don’t need to change my game, I don’t need to try and, manufacture different shots. “I think I can go with what I have and know if I do that well, I’m going to have a good chance. “I’ve always felt like it’s my most comfortable major, and I think the results back that up.” PGA Championship 2018 will be held at the Bellerive Country Club How to watch the PGA Championship For the second year running, you will not be able to watch the PGA Championship on Sky Sports. They lost out last year on the rights to the BBC but the broadcaster pulled out of covering the event this time around. So for 2018, the major is not being shown on either freeview or satellite TV. However, golf fans will still be able to catch the likes of Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy in action online. Streaming platform Eleven Sports is allowing free access to the event through their website and mobile app. They promise at least eight and a half hours of continuous live golf on each day, as well as highlights on the website.

Before that, Woods also accomplished the feat in 1999, also at Medinah, and in 2000 at Valhalla, where he famously ran after his birdie putt on the opening playoff hole. If Thomas wins at Bellerive, he'll join Woods, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Leo Diegel and Denny Shute as the only players to successfully defend their PGA title. It would also make him the 19th multiple-time winner in the event's history.<doc-sep>
