Now that the second major of the 2024 golf season has begun, several players are trying to establish a pattern for the rest of the competition.
This is when Louisville’s Valhalla Golf Club is enveloped in the beauty of May, as the PGA Championship makes its first visit to the city in ten years.
It’s reasonable to question who has the best chance of winning the Wanamaker Trophy while everyone is preoccupied with where and how to watch the PGA Championship.
When it comes to trying to become the first golfer since 2015 to win the first two major events of the year, nobody is under more pressure than Scottie Scheffler.
The 2024 Masters champion Scheffler has won four of the previous five events in which he has participated in addition to winning back-to-back PGA Tour starts.
It’s not surprising that he leads the field because of his skill and how focused he was on the course prior to taking a month break. Talk of a grand slam has gained some credibility thanks to Scheffler’s play.
If he doesn’t finish it this year, the PGA would also be the second leg of his personal slam quest considering that his major championship mantle consists of two green jackets from the previous three years.
On the odds board, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy, who have each won their last two starts, are right behind Scheffler.
Despite finishing T45 at the Masters last month, Koepka is still the PGA champion and looking to win the title again. He has been playing incredibly well abroad.
For the fourth time in his seven-year career, he has an opportunity to win the Wanamaker.
Although McIlroy hasn’t won a major since the PGA at Valhalla was held ten years ago, he is obviously at ease on this course and fresh off a victory at Quail Hollow, where he crushed another well-known site in the Wells Fargo Championship.
Even while going to the PGA Championship might be a lot of fun, it’s always a wonderful treat to be able to watch golf on the biggest stages in the sport.
