LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A brief look at the 106th PGA Championship:

Dates: May 16-19

Site: Valhalla GC.

Length: 7,609 yards.

Par: 71.

Field: 156 players (21 PGA professionals).

Prize money: TBA ($17.5 million in 2023).

Winner’s share: TBA ($3.15 million in 2022).

Defending champion: Brooks Koepka.

Last year: Brooks Koepka restored his reputation as a player to beat in the majors when he ran off three quick birdies, never lost the lead amid a duel with Viktor Hovland and closed with a 3-under 67 for a two-shot victory at Oak Hill. His third PGA title was his fifth major. Among active players, only Tiger Woods (15) and Phil Mickelson (6) have won more.

Last time at Valhalla: Rory McIlroy won his second straight major in a back-nine thriller in the dark in 2014 in which Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson all had a share of the lead at some point. Rain delays nearly forced a Monday finish. McIlroy joined the twosome ahead in the 18th fairway to finish. Fowler missed a long eagle putt and Mickelson nearly holed an eagle chip from the fairway that would have forced a playoff. McIlroy made par for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot win.
