2022 PGA Championship Recap
Last year, Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris played to a tie. JT got the win after beating Zalatoris in a playoff. Mito Pereira and Cameron Young finished in a tie for third at -4. Three golfers tied for fifth: Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood and Chris Kirk. All three shot a -3. Rory McIlroy finished eighth at -2 ahead of four players at -1 and in ninth place: Abraham Ancer, Tom Hoge, Seamus Power, and Brendan Steele.
2023 PGA Championship Top Pick
After 18-holes on Thursday and 18-holes on Friday, it looked like Scottie Scheffler was going to bag another trophy. Scottie shot a 64 in both of the first two rounds at last week’s Byron Nelson.
But a 71 in the third round ended Scheffler’s chance at the victory. Even a 65 fourth-round wasn’t enough to get back to the winner’s table.
No worries. The chalk knows the PGA Championship is the much bigger and more coveted prize. Scottie’s last victory was The Players Championship in March. So, he’s due. The favorite is focused, and when Scheffler is focused, it’s difficult to keep him from winning.
2023 PGA Championship Second Pick
Jon Rahm hasn’t played in a PGA Tournament since the Mexico Open in the final weekend of April. The 2023 Masters winner followed up that performance with a fifteenth at the RBC Heritage.
Then came a second in the Mexico Open. Since then, Rahm has been preparing for this. For sure, the Spaniard can make it back-to-back major titles.
But although Rahm is great, he can throw in a dud once in a while, like finishing a tied thirty-ninth at the Arnold Palmer. If you believe this week isn’t one of those times, pulling the trigger on Rahm makes sense.
2023 PGA Championship Third Pick
Xandar Schaufele is hitting the ball better than he has all season long. Xander finished fourth at the RBC Heritage and a tied fourth at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
In his last, the Wells Fargo Championship, Schaufele finished second. If Xander has his best sticks working, he could land the PGA Championship trophy.
2023 PGA Championship Underdog Pick
Last week, Jason Day’s form took a massive leap forward. Day won the Byron Nelson, which makes him a legit contender.
At one point, Day was one of the top five golfers in the world. This week, he could hark back to those days.
Also, the odds make the latest PGA Tournament winner a decent play. If you’re looking to back a legit underdog offering a square price, Day is a good pick.
