<h2>PGA Championships – The Contenders</h2> <p><em><strong>Scottie Scheffler</strong></em></p> <p>He’s the raging favourite heading into the tournament, which isn't surprising considering that he’s the best golfer in the world at the moment by so far it actually doesn’t matter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Coming off a big win at the Masters last month, he is in red-hot form.</p> <p>The 27-year-old two-time major winner is a heavy favourite and chasing his first win at this event after being in a tie for second last year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Rory McIlroy</strong></em></p> <p>The veteran is still one of the biggest names in the golfing world.</p> <p>Despite a disappointing showing at the Masters and the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town, he is still one of the favourites at a course he has saluted at twice.</p> <p>He is still yet to finish in the top 10 at an event this year. They say form is temporary &amp; class is permanent, but I’d be looking at the pattern and form line here.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Bryson DeChambeau</strong></em></p> <p>After parting ways with his smelly socks after missing a put at the LIV event in Australia last week, DeChambeau has maintained his consistency despite finishing in a big chaser pack at the Grange.</p> <p>In arguably the best form of his career, finishing in a tie for sixth last month and Augusta and making a deep run to finish in a three-way tie for fourth here last year, he is pushing to add to his one career major title.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>John Rahm</strong></em></p> <p>The Spaniard bounced back after misfiring at his Masters' defence at Augusta earlier this month to shoot -16 in a tie for third at last week's LIV event in Adelaide.</p> <p>Seen as the best value pick heading into this major though the Valhalla is not a happy hunting ground for Rham, with a best finish of a tie for fourth back in 2018 from six appearances.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Brooks Koepka</strong></em></p> <p>Last year’s champion returns to the Valhalla full of confidence he can repeat the deed despite a mixed bag of results at both Augusta at the Masters and Grange at LIV’s Adelaide event.</p> <p>He’s saluted in this event three times before and knows the course back to front. He’s everyone’s favourite villain in golf but he’s hard to bet against here.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Best Tip for the PGA Championship – Scottie Scheffler</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>PGA Championships – Aussies in Action</h2> <p><em><strong>Cameron Smith</strong></em></p> <p>The man with the mullet will again lead the Aussie charge at Valhalla and Cameron Smith is brimming with confidence after impressive showings at both Augusta and Grange.</p> <p>Smith finished In a tie for ninth last year and remains Australia’s best chance come May 16th.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Min Woo Lee</strong></em></p> <p>The rising star of Australian golf is never short of confidence and wants to put on a show.</p> <p>He returns to Valhalla for only the second time, looking to build on his tie for 14th finish last year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Cameron Davis</strong></em></p> <p>Another Aussie star on the rise, Davis will be looking to improve on his impressive T4 finish last year as he continues to make waves around the golfing world.</p> <p>The Sydney native competes like he has nothing to lose with that classic Aussie spirit, making him a local worth cheering for,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Jason Day</strong></em></p> <p>The former world number one is on his way back once again from a back injury and is looking to string together some back-to-back tournaments after a wretched run.</p> <p>It’s been nearly a decade since he won this event, can he repeat the events of 2015 and walk off the course a winner?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Best Aussie Tip– Cameron Smith</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>PGA Championships – The Details</h3> <p><em><strong>Date:</strong> May 16-19</em></p> <p><em><strong>Course: </strong>Valhalla Golf Course, Louisville</em></p> <p><em><strong>Purse:</strong> $17, 500, 000</em></p>
