The GOLF.com staff makes its sleeper selections for this week's PGA Championship at Aronimink, following Scottie Scheffler's win last year.

Five years ago, that wager on Phil Mickelson would’ve brought home $250 . Hmm. Could the underdog-winning-every-five-years trend continue this week at the PGA Championship ?
The odds are, well, long. For various reasons, players aren’t favorites, and what’s happened here is very likely coincidental. Then again, who doesn’t like a good story line?
Should you have some buy-in to that thought, members of our staff have each made a long-shot selection to assist you. It’s an enjoyable endeavor for us. Deploy it as you wish.
