The second major of the 2024 golf season has arrived with plenty of players looking to set a tone for the remainder of the campaign. This as the beautify of May surrounds Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville with the PGA Championship returning to town for the first time in a decade. While everyone is wondering where and how to watch the PGA Championship, it's also fair to consider who has the best chance to take home the Wanamaker Trophy.
No one has more pressure on their shoulders than Scottie Scheffler, who is attempting to become the first golfer since 2015 to win the first two major championships of the year. Scheffler, the 2024 Masters champion, has not only won consecutive PGA Tour starts but four of the last five events in which he has played. Given his ability and how locked in he had been on the course before taking a month off, it's no surprise that he's the clear favorite in the field. Scheffler's play has given talk of a grand slam some legitimacy. The PGA would also mark the second leg of his personal slam journey -- even if he does not complete it this year -- given his major championship mantle consists of two green jackets over the last three years.
Just behind Scheffler on the odds board are Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy, both of whom have also won their last two starts. Koepka has been playing exceptionally well overseas, and while he finished T45 at the Masters last month, he's also the reigning PGA champion seeking to go back-to-back for the second time. He has a chance to lift the Wanamaker for the fourth time in seven years. McIlroy has gone without a major since the last playing of the PGA at Valhalla a decade ago, but he's clearly comfortable on this course and coming off a win in the Wells Fargo Championship where he dominated another familiar venue at Quail Hollow.
While attending the PGA Championship can be a ton of fun, simply being able to watch golf on the game's grandest stages is an incredible treat each year.
