Justin Thomas won the 104th PGA Championship last year at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After shooting a final-round 67 to storm up the leaderboard, Thomas took down Will Zalatoris in a playoff to claim his second major championship and his second Wanamaker trophy.
This year, the PGA Championship heads to Oak Hills in Rochester, New York.
Jon Rahm, the No. 1-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking as well as the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, captured the first major of 2023 at the Masters. The Spaniard’s best finish at the PGA was a tie for fourth in 2018 at Bellerive Country Club.
