The 105th edition of the PGA Championship will take place in 2023. The Oak Hill Country Club's East Course in Pittsford, New York, will host the 72-hole stroke play competition from May 18 to 21.


CBS and ESPN broadcast the PGA Championship in the United States. Beginning in 2020, ESPN has exclusive rights to early-round and weekend morning coverage. ESPN+, a digital subscription service, will air supplemental coverage before weekday coverage and during weekend broadcast windows.


The rights to weekend afternoon coverage belong to CBS. Both agreements are valid through 2030, with ESPN's contract taking the place of an earlier one with TNT. Since 1991, when CBS took over for ABC, the PGA Championship has been broadcast on CBS. Similar to how ESPN handled the Masters Tournament, CBS Sports and ESPN collaborated to produce the ESPN telecasts.
