The opening day of the PGA Championship was a highly intriguing one. No-one would have predicted the top of the leaderboard after it. The top 10 on it does not feature anyone from within the world top-10 rankings.

None of the top three of Jhonattan Vegas, Ryan Gerard and Cam Davis are even ranked in the top 60 golfers in the world. Davis, in 68th, is the highest ranked of the trio.

European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald is one of five players sharing fourth place, after the 47-year-old was the only man to play a bogey-free opening round. He recorded his lowest opening round in a Major for 20 years.

Pre-tournament favourite Rory McIlroy is 10 shots off the lead in a tie for 98th. He needs an improved second round just to avoid the cut: the top 70 and ties after the second round progress to the final two rounds.

What more suprises may be in store? You can see for yourself by watching the action live. Read on for Golf Monthly's guide on how to watch the PGA Championshiptoday, with details on live streams, TV broadcasts, and timings globally.
