It's being held at Aronimink Golf Club just outside Philadelphia, a private country club and one of several great golf courses in eastern Pennsylvania, built by and for Old Money. Nothing wrong with that, I would take those wealthy men -- who still had a connection to and who cared about and felt a duty toward the country in which they prospered -- in a heartbeat over today's cosmopolitan anti-American, anti-human robber barons. The only other time Aronimink hosted the PGA was in 1962, when Gary Player won the first of his two PGA titles.
The defending champion is Scottie Scheffler, who has placed second in his last three tournaments, and is the betting favorite to repeat, followed by Rory McIlroy, Cam Young, Jon Rahm, Ludvig Aberg, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, and Brooks Koepka. Koepka was the last to go back to back, winning in '18 and '19 and then again in '23, his only major since his great run in the majors in the late teens.
