Attention is turning to the upcoming PGA Championship, the next major golf tournament on the calendar. This prestigious event will be held at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, and golf enthusiasts are already speculating on who might claim the title.
Unsurprisingly, the betting markets position Scottie Scheffler (+440) and Rory McIlroy (+450) as the initial frontrunners. Scheffler`s season had a subdued beginning, but he recently found his form, securing his first PGA Tour victory at the CJ Cup last weekend. This recent success could provide significant momentum heading into the Charlotte tournament. Notably, Scheffler has decided to forego competing in the Truist Championship this weekend to prioritize rest and preparation specifically for the PGA Championship.
In contrast, Rory McIlroy arrives fresh off a landmark victory at the Masters, where he earned his first green jacket and, in doing so, completed his career grand slam. A win at Quail Hollow would be another historic step for McIlroy, potentially moving him closer to achieving a modern grand slam within a single calendar year.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele is also in the mix at (+1800). Other notable golfers considered among the top favorites include Bryson DeChambeau (+1200), Ludvig Åberg (+1600), and Collin Morikawa (+1800), completing the list of early leading contenders.
The tournament is scheduled to commence with the first round teeing off on Thursday, May 15.
