2024 PGA Championship Odds & Picks: Xander Schauffele

by |

Golf’s biggest stars descend on Louisville, Kentucky, this week for the second major of the year, the 2024 PGA Championship, which will be played at Valhalla Golf Club.

This will be the fourth PGA Championship to be played at Valhalla, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course that opened in 1986. Mark Brooks won the first PGA at Valhalla in 1996. Tiger Woods outlasted Bob May in a memorable Valhalla duel to win the 2000 PGA Championship. And Rory McIlroy won the PGA here in 2014, edging Phil Mickelson by a stroke.

Brooks Koepka is the defending PGA Championship winner. He won by two strokes over Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler last year at Oak Hill. But Scheffler is the headliner this week. The No. 1 player in the world has been on fire this year, winning four of his last five events. Last month, Scheffler won the first major of 2024, The Masters, earning his second Green Jacket.

Course History

Xander Schauffele has posted top-20 finishes in four of the last five PGA Championships, but he hasn’t been in serious contention late on Sunday, with his best finish a 10th in 2020. Valhalla Golf Club hasn’t hosted a PGA Tour event in a decade, but is similar to other premier Jack Nicklaus layouts such as Muirfield Village. That bodes well for the reigning Olympic champion. Schauffele has five straight top-25 finishes in Dublin, Ohio. The 30-year old should be feel extremely comfortable in Louisville.

Xander Schauffele Recent Form

Schauffele may be the hottest golfer on Tour not named Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy. The California native has eight straight top-25 finishes but has yet to take home any hardware. That could change this week.
