But one key area to consider is what exactly it takes to become such a proficient golfer.

Coming into this year's PGA Championship, most eyes are fixed upon Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy, but this is golf and the favourites don't always win. If there is to be an unexpected name etched on the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday - it could be one of these players.

It would take the most hipsterish of hipsters to declare that the PGA Championship is their favourite of golf's four men's majors, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't sit up and pay attention. Beyond the obvious, why should you be feeling excited about the coming days? Here are some of the leading storylines that we're keeping an eye on.

We would love your feedback in our latest survey focused on watching professional golf either live in person or on television or streaming services.

The PGA Championship takes place as Valhalla, the course where the most recent of Rory McIlroy’s four major successes was achieved in 2014. If he's going to reclaim the Wanamaker Trophy, he will have to overcome the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka.

It's time for the second men's major of the year as the world's best golfers arrive at Valhalla in Kentucky for the PGA Championship, where Brooks Koepka is the defending champion. World number one Scottie Scheffler and former winner here Rory McIlroy are in ominous form, but can anyone stop these favourites?

Should men's golf introduce a fifth major and what form should it take? Golfshake's Derek Clements explains why he thinks a new, travelling worldwide championship is the way to go.

When Rory McIlroy won the PGA Championship at Valhalla in August 2014 it seemed certain that we were witnessing the start of a period of global domination from the Northern Irishman, who just a month earlier had also claimed The Open. If only we had known what was to come…

Twelve months ago a resurgent Brooks Koepka became the first LIV golfer to claim a major as he cruised to victory in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, seeing off the challenges of Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland.

A new film from EDGA that celebrates a fantastic group of golfers with disability will premiere on Sky Sports Golf this week with several showings during the coming days.

The health of golf clubs remains the truest way to assess the current state of the game. And things currently look pretty strong.

Golf is a sport that is seemingly built on tradition, but when you think about it, few of these conventions have anything to do with actually playing the game and have instead been imposed by institutions in the form of golf clubs and governing bodies. Here are some of these old-fashioned rules that Golfshake's Kieran Clark really thinks ought to go.

Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry's decision to partner each other in the Zurich Classic paid dividends when the pair triumphed in the PGA Tour's unique team event on Sunday. But how would the two men celebrate their win?

Just five months after he quit, Rory McIlroy has opened the door to potentially make a surprising return to the PGA Tour's Policy Board, in an effort to help forge unity in men's professional golf, something that Golfshake's Derek Clements is stunned about.

Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler have produced a run of results that we arguably haven't witnessed since those heady days of Annika Sorenstam and Tiger Woods. But how do these two amazing players compare to each other? We have looked at the statistics and where they rank on their respective tours.

In theory, golf is a pretty simple game. You put a ball on a tee, hit it and chase it around until you stroke the ball into the hole at the 18th. But have you ever tried to explain the rules to an absolute beginner? These are the rules that drive Golfshake's Derek Clements nuts - and should be tossed into the nearest water hazard, without penalty.

A worrying statistic emerged as the dust settled on The Masters. It is traditionally the most-watched golf tournament on the planet but CBS in America revealed that its viewing figures had fallen from well over 12 million in 2023 to less than 10 million this time around. But what does this mean for the game?

Scottie Scheffler continues to dominate men's professional golf, but in the aftermath of his Masters victory, Golfshake's Derek Clements was struck not by the American's sensational play, but instead by a gesture that demonstrates what a classy individual he is.

It comes as something of a surprise to see Rory McIlroy in the field for this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans. This is a team event and is one of the season’s fun tournaments and McIlroy has opted to partner former Open champion Shane Lowry as he begins his preparations for the US PGA Championship.

LIV Golf is back in Australia for its Adelaide event, which was a huge success last year. Eyes will be on home favourite Cameron Smith, but Joaquin Niemann could once again surpass the biggest names and show why he's been the man to beat this season.
