Can Scottie Scheffler win the 2024 PGA Championship?

As mentioned above, Scheffler is the outright favorite to win the 2024 PGA Championship with 3-1 odds. It is pertinent to note that the World No.1 golfer has been in stellar form this season. For the unversed, Scheffler started off his PGA Tour season with a T5 finish at The Sentry in January.

He has since finished in the top 10 on eight different occasions. The 27-year-old won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, the Masters and the RBC Heritage ahead of the PGA Championship. Notably, his T2 finish at the Houston Open denied him a five-win streak.

Having won the Masters already, the ace golfer will be eyeing his second major title of the year this weekend. It is also noteworthy that this will be his first outing since becoming a father. It’ll be interesting to see how he performs at Valhalla.
