With a record six Canadians in the field, there's an increased chance that one will hoist the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday. More on that below, plus some other things to know about the tournament: It's round 2 of the PGA Tour vs.

LIV Golf showdown. This is the second major since the flow of defectors to the Saudi-funded league stemmed and battle lines were clearly drawn.

The only arena for players from the rival tours to square off is the four majors, each run by independent entities. The PGA Championship belongs to the PGA of America, a separate organization from the PGA Tour.
