Ranking the entire PGA Championship field, Nos. 1-156

The season’s second major is upon us as Aronimink Golf Club hosts the PGA Championship, the first major championship to be contested at the Newtown Square, Pennsylvania club. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the reigning PGA champion, having won last year at Quail Hollow, though Scheffler enters this week fourth on Data Golf’s trend table behind Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Åberg.

Young has won twice in his last five starts, including The Players, while also tying for third at the Masters. He’s the strongest bet to win among players currently without a major title. Aronimink has hosted three previous PGA Tour events, most recently the 2018 BMW Championship, as well as the AT&T National in 2010 and 2011.

From what we’ve learned, it’s a ballpark that rewards length and strong approach play (shockers! ) but also one where putting is perhaps more important and driving accuracy is less important than typical major venues. The par-3s at Aronimink are particularly difficult, there are 180 bunkers in play and the undulating Donald Ross greens are comprised of bentgrass.

Without further delay, let’s get into ranking the entire field, with the last 20 spots reserved for the Corebridge Financial Team because club pros rarely make the cut – and are even less likely to do what Blockie did at Oak Hill: Nos. 1-10 1. Cameron Young: The hottest player in the world who has two wins plus a T-3 at the Masters in his last five starts.
