Next week, the golf world heads to Rochester, N.Y., for the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club. Justin Thomas is the defending champion, as he took down Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff last year to claim his second major championship and second Wanamaker trophy.
Jon Rahm claimed the year’s first major at the Masters in April and is the betting favorite to win at Oak Hill next Sunday (+750).
