It’s PGA Championship week!

The second major of the PGA TOUR schedule tees off on Thursday from the famed Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY. The field couldn’t be stronger, as the golfers from the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league will be pegging it up alongside the stars of the PGA TOUR. The winner receives $2.7 million (from the $15 million purse), the Wanamaker Trophy, and etches their name in golf history as a major champion.

Justin Thomas is your defending champion, having won his second PGA Championship last year in epic comeback fashion. He began the final round seven strokes off the lead, caught magic with a three under 67, and got some help as leader Mito Pereira’s tee shot on 18 landed in the water, and capped it off by beating fellow American Will Zalatoris in a 3-hole aggregate playoff.

Will this year’s edition of the PGA be as dramatic? Will a player from the rebel LIV tour come in and steal the spotlight? Only time will tell, but expect fireworks from Oak Hill.

At Gator Wagers, we have our eyes on a certain ball-striker who hails from South Korea. A player who seems to always be in the picture on Sundays in the biggest of tournaments, a fan-favorite, an affable young man whose game is trending in the right direction and is ready for the biggest win of his career.

The South Korean ace, Sungjae Im (+3600 on FanDuel) is our pick to win the PGA Championship. As for some other plays to lock in…
