⭐ Players to Watch

Scottie Scheffler has been unstoppable this season. He has already won three events, including The Masters. His ball-striking is the best on tour. If he maintains his current form, he could run away with this tournament. Rory McIlroy is seeking his fifth major championship and his first since 2014. He played well in round one but struggled with the putter. Brooks Koepka loves major championships. He has won five of them, including two PGA Championships. He is lurking just a few shots back.

💡 TryOneRead take: The leaderboard is packed with stars. Scheffler is the man to beat, but McIlroy and Koepka have the experience to chase him down. Expect a thrilling weekend at Aronimink.

⛳ Course Breakdown – Aronimink Golf Club

Aronimink Golf Club is a classic William Flynn design. The course opened in 1927 and has hosted major championships before. The course is 7,400 yards long and plays to a par of 70. The rough is thick and punishing. The greens are fast and undulating. Accuracy is more important than distance this week. Players who miss fairways will struggle to hold greens. The par-4 18th hole is a brutal finishing test. At 502 yards with water left and bunkers right, it is one of the toughest finishing holes in major championship golf.
