Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, aiming for his third major title and fifth win in six starts, arrived at Valhalla for the 106th PGA Championship after a three-week hiatus to welcome his first child with wife Meredith. Despite a Houston Open playoff loss marring his recent streak of victories at Bay Hill, The Players Championship, and the Masters, Scheffler's stellar form sets the stage for a compelling quest for the Wanamaker Trophy.
Scheffler's presence was initially uncertain amid the joyous arrival of his newborn, but the appearance of his caddie, Ted Scott, scouting the course hinted at his participation in the tournament. Alongside world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, Scheffler enters the championship having triumphed in their preceding two events—Scheffler at Augusta National and the Heritage, and McIlroy at the Wells Fargo Championship—infusing the competition with heightened anticipation.
As the championship approaches, golf enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the clash of titans at Valhalla, where McIlroy seeks to replicate the glory of his 2014 PGA Championship victory. With contenders like Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, and defending champion Brooks Koepka vying for supremacy amidst forecasts of inclement weather, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown as the world's best golfers converge for one of the sport's most prestigious events.
