The PGA Championship is set to be contested for the 102nd time as the Wanamaker Trophy will be awarded to the best golfer to take over the course by the end of this coming weekend. The first and only major of the 2019-20 season will also witness a bit of history as the PGA Championship will be taking place at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco for the first time.
As the only golf major to be held this season amid the coronavirus pandemic, the PGA Championship holds even greater esteem as 95 of the 100 best golfers in the world are joined by some top PGA of America amateurs to go after the trophy. Golfers are champing at the bit for their lone opportunity to bring home a major championship trophy this season on a pristine course.
Strap in for all-day coverage of the 2020 PGA Championship this week from CBS Sports, which will host weekend action of the event. What you’ll catch when you tune in is a fun course at TPC Harding Park that should produce exciting action over the course of the week.
Brooks Koepka will attempt to become the first golfer since the 1920s to win three straight PGA Championships as the betting favorite alongside Justin Thomas, who is looking to win his second Wanamaker. Jordan Spieth is still efforting for the career grand slam, while Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and others hope to find their games after recent struggles.
Enough talking about it. Here’s how you can watch as much of the PGA Championship as possible over the rest of the week days. Be sure to stick with CBS Sports for live coverage during the entire tournament.

There are several notable storylines to follow this week in San Francisco. Arguably the most compelling from a history standpoint is Koepka looking to win the championship for a third-straight year, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished at the PGA Championship since Walter Hagen won four in a row back in the 1920s and in any major since the 1950s.
Woods, meanwhile, is looking to see if he can win the PGA for a fifth time in his career, which would tie Hagen and Jack Nicklaus for the most victories in the championship. A win would also give Woods his 83rd career PGA Tour victory, pulling him out of a tie with Sam Snead for the all-time tour victory record.
Another player to follow is Jordan Spieth. Should he prevail this week at TPC Harding Park, he will complete the career Grand Slam, becoming the sixth golfer to accomplish the feat.
