The 103rd edition of the PGA Championship gets underway on Thursday at Kiawah Island as Rory McIlroy begins his quest for a second title.

The 32-year-old dominated the tournament back in 2012 and now nine years later returns as the favourite to top the leaderboard by the end of the weekend.

Meanwhile, Collin Morikawa will be hoping he can defend the Wanamaker Trophy, with Jon Rahm, Jordan Spieth and Bryson DeChambeau also in the mix.

And World No 1 Dustin Johnson will be looking to impress in front of a home crowd in South Carolina. The American won the Masters in November to add to his 2016 US Open and could take his tally to three majors over the next few days.

Here is everything you need to know.

When is it?

The 2021 PGA Championship will get underway on Thursday 20 May and come to an end on Sunday 23 May at Kiawah Island in South Carolina.

Prediction

McIlroy has so often come unstuck under the pressure of breaking his major drought and, even with success at the Wells Fargo Championship, that burden of being favourite will still be a challenge to bear. However, with the improvements already evident since teaming up with Pete Cowen, and the mental benefits reaped from working with revered sports psychologist Dr Bob Rotella, he appears somewhere close to recapturing his best form. Add to that his imperious history at Kiawah Island and it is hard to look past the Northern Irishman.

An outside bet, though, could come in the shape of Viktor Hovland. The prodigious Norwegian already has two wins on the PGA Tour at just 23 years old and is in brilliant form.
