PGA Championship Final Round: LIVE updates and scores
Welcome to live scores, updates and commentary from the final round of the US PGA Championship at Valhalla.
Xander Schauffele has captured his maiden major title with victory at the 2024 US PGA Championship at Valhalla.
Schauffele, 30, poured home a birdie putt from six feet on the par-5 18th to seal a narrow one-shot victory over LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau.
The World No.3 closed with a gutsy round of 6-under 65 to finish the week on 21-under par, which marks the lowest winning score to par in a major championship.
The previous low winning score at a major was 20-under par (2015 US PGA, 2016 Open, 2020 Masters, 2022 Open).
Schauffele also joins a list of 10 players to go wire-to-wire at a major championship.
The win marks Schauffele's first major title and the eighth of his PGA Tour career.

Schauffele chips up to six feet
Schauffele hits a solid chip shot up to six feet. It's about half the distance and on a similar line to the putt DeChambeau just holed. Six feet for a first major title for Schauffele. Can he do it?
23:47
Fantastic shot from Schauffele
Schauffele grips way down the shaft and hits a fantastic 4-iron just short of the green. It's a great leave straight up the green, some 50 yards from the pin. Up and down for his maiden major title.
23:42
Tough break for Schauffele at 18
Schauffele gets a tough break down the 18th. His drive finishes just shy of the bunker down the left, but he will be standing in the sand. Very difficult shot now upcoming for him. Birdie for the win, par for a playoff with DeChambeau.

Great chip from Schauffele
Xander Schauffele
Schauffele missed just to the right of the green at the par-4 17th but he played a beautiful chip shot down to two feet for a comfortable par. Schauffele needs to birdie the par-5 18th to capture his maiden major title. Will he do it? Let's see.
23:28
Hovland makes bogey at 18
Hovland fails to convert his birdie putt missing low left, and he then misses the return putt for par. A closing bogey sees Hovland finish the week at 18-under par. It's now all down to Schauffele and DeChambeau to decide the 2024 US PGA Championship.
23:27
DeChambeau birdies the 18th
Huge roars at 18 as DeChambeau drops his 12 footer into the cup. The ball was dying of speed but just dropped into the hole on the last roll. DeChambeau joins Schauffele out in front on 20-under par. Now it's the turn of Hovland. He has eight feet for birdie to join them in the lead.
23:24
DeChambeau has about 12 feet
DeChambeau chips up and also comes up short of the hole. The LIV Golf star has about 12 feet for his birdie. It's another must make if he has any intentions of landing a second career major title. Tense times on the 18th green. Schauffele has just two-putted for par on the 16th and is heading to the 17th tee.
23:22
Hovland chips up to eight feet
Hovland chips up to some eight feet short of the hole. It's a must make for Hovland if he wants to win his maiden major title.

Hovland and DeChambeau both miss green at 18
Hovland and DeChambeau have both come up short of the green with their second shots at the par-5 18th. Hovland has gone right but in the fairway and has about 40 yards to the pin, while DeChambeau has gone left in the intermediate rough, and has a similar distance. Birdie a must if both players want to win the US PGA.

22:58
JT gets huge reception at 18
Home favourite Justin Thomas gets a huge reception down the par-5 18th and he rewards the fans with a birdie to finish the week at 13-under par. That's T8 right now so it could be a top 10 finish for the Kentucky hero who has two US PGA titles to his name.
22:55
DeChambeau moves to within one
Bryson DeChambeau
DeChambeau converts his short three footer for birdie after an outstanding shot into the 16th. The LIV Golf man moves to 19-under par alongside Hovland, who two-putts for par. Schauffele two putts for par on the par-3 14th to remain one shot clear at 20-under par.

Big break for Bryson
DeChambeau's tee shot looked for all the world it was heading for trouble in the trees down the left side of the par-4 16th but the ball bounced back into the middle of the fairway. The LIV Golf star is now two shots back so he will need to go birdie hunting with just three holes left to play.
