Insights: Bryson enters Aronimink as one of the highest-upside plays in the field and one of the toughest to fully trust week-to-week. The major profile remains elite: a U.S. Open win, 3 Top 10s in his last 10 majors, and now four career Top 5s at the PGA Championship including back-to-back runner-ups the last two years. When the setup gets long, demanding, and driver-heavy, Bryson immediately becomes a factor. The recent form still shows the volatility though (3-WD-MC-1-1), with the Augusta missed cut and Mexico frustration balancing out the win equity. Stat profile remains dangerous with OTT gains in 4/4 and positive putting in 3/4, which is usually the formula when he contends. Aronimink should suit his aggressive style as well, and while the lone course result was only T19 in 2018, the scoring profile there showed plenty of comfort. Questions around LIV will continue from the outside, but majors are clearly still where Bryson locks in most. At +2200, you’re betting on ceiling over consistency—and few players in this field possess a ceiling this high if the driver and putter sync for four rounds. -C
Rory McIlroy
Odds: +900
Stats: N/A
Rank: N/A
SG Gains: OTT 4/4, APP 3/4, ARD 3/4, PUTT 2/4
FORM: 19/1/46/WD
Aronimink Results: 5 (62-69-63-68, 2018 BMW Champ)
PGA Results: 47/12/7/8/49/33/8/50/22/MC/17/1/8/1/64/3/3
Comp Results: 4/12/19/21
Insights: When he played this course in 2018, Rory had 4 rounds in the 60s with 2 of those rounds better than 64. He didn’t win, but the top-5 finish showed his upside here. We know what Rory’s floor can be when he’s not all there mentally, but given this is a major, you can count on Rory to be laser-focused this week — especially after being so bad around and on the greens in Charlotte. That’s always the concern with Rory — putting. However, Rory’s best putting performances come on Bentgrass greens, and he has so much creativity that helps him to get out of his wayward misses off-the-tee with relative ease. It’s a classic debate of Scottie vs. Rory this week at the top of the betting board, and I think the odds are fair on both. Pick your poison. -S

FORM: 2/2/2/22
Aronimink Results: DEBUT
PGA Results: 1/8/2/MC/8/4
Comp Results: 2/20/52
Insights: Scottie defends his title this week and once again the clear benchmark of consistency in elite fields. The recent form almost looks fake at this point—2-2-2-22 over his last four starts—and despite not winning in his last nine, he continues to gain across all four major SG categories every single week. OTT, APP, ARD, PUTT all 4/4 gains entering the week is exactly why the number sits at +500 even without a recent win. The surprise is seeing him outside the Top 25% in the field in several approach buckets statistically, but that speaks more to how absurd the expectations are with Scottie than actual weakness. PGA Championship history remains elite as well and skipping Quail feels intentional with eyes fully set on defending this title. Aronimink is a debut, but long demanding setups that require complete tee-to-green control are exactly where Scottie thrives. The question this week isn’t whether the game is there—it clearly is—it’s whether he finally converts another close call into a win and removes the string of runner-up finishes from the form line. -C
