The 108th PGA Championship tees off this week at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The Mink will not deliver spectacle so much as sustained examination — four days when the margin between contender and casualty is one loose swing, one misjudged recovery from that penal rough, or another bogey that threatens to smear the card and ruin dreams.
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Cameron Young will occupy their usual expanse unless an ambush yields an unlikely hero. Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm must be aching to seize one and turn away from the grim notes trailing their LIV contracts. Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed are pining to be recognised again as major contenders after deciding to dump their LIV affiliations.
