So, who are the experts picking to win this year’s PGA Championship? Let’s take a closer look at some of the top contenders and dark horse picks.
One of the favorites to win this year’s tournament is Jon Rahm. The Spanish golfer has been in excellent form recently, winning the US Open in June and finishing in the top 10 in his last four events. He has a strong all-around game and is particularly impressive off the tee, which should serve him well at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, where the PGA Championship is being held this year.
Another top pick is Bryson DeChambeau. The American golfer has been making headlines recently for his incredible power off the tee, and he could be a real force to be reckoned with at Kiawah Island. He won the US Open last year and has been in solid form this season, finishing in the top 10 in his last two events.
Other top contenders include Justin Thomas, who won the PGA Championship in 2017, and Rory McIlroy, who won the tournament in 2012 and 2014. Both players have struggled with consistency this season but have shown flashes of their best form at times.
When it comes to dark horse contenders, there are several players who could surprise everyone and win the tournament. One of these is Viktor Hovland, a talented young Norwegian golfer who has been making waves on the PGA Tour recently. He has a solid all-around game and has shown that he can compete with the best players in the world.
Another dark horse pick is Will Zalatoris, a rising star on the PGA Tour who has been in excellent form this season. He finished second at the Masters in April and has been consistently finishing in the top 10 in his recent events.
Of course, predicting the winner of a golf tournament is never easy, and there are sure to be plenty of surprises and upsets along the way. But with so many talented golfers set to compete, this year’s PGA Championship promises to be an exciting and unpredictable event.
