Scheffler vs. Rahm Prediction on May 21, 2023

Match info

The PGA Championship 2023, the second major of the 2023 PGA season, is soon to arrive. The world’s top men’s golfers will compete at the Oak Hill Country Club (Pittsford, New York, USA) courses from Thursday, May 18 (7 AM local time), through Sunday, May 21. They’ll be vying for one of the sport’s richest prizes as well as a sizable portion of the $15 million purse.

There won’t be many of the more well-known names in golf competing in the event. Tiger Woods is out after having ankle surgery, and Will Zalatoris, last year’s runner-up, is out after having back surgery. The PGA Championship, though, will have a big celebrity lineup. Rory McIlroy, who’s attempting to bounce back after failing to make the cut at both the Players Championship and The Masters, will be competing with. Among others, Jon Rahm, the champion of The Masters.

You may see the most recent odds for the four-day event in the state of New York, and some professional forecasts below, relying on top bookmakers for wagering on golf.

Meeting statistics

The terrain at Oak Hill is predicted to be thick, so precision and power will be in high demand. That implies that we will closely monitor the tee-to-green game. As a result, statistics that can help determine a victor include strokes gained off the tee (SG:OTT), ball striking, strokes gained on approach (SG:APP), and overall scrambling. Given the extensive bunkers that surround the fairways and greens on the course, the sand save percentage might also be significant. Additionally, as usual, strokes gained putting (SG:Putting) may be the deciding factor in the competition for a championship between the top tee-to-green players.

At the Masters, Rahm claimed the first major title on the PGA Tour’s schedule. He’ll now want to build on his accomplishments at the PGA Championship. The Spaniard is one of the favorites to take home the Wanamaker Trophy in the 2023 PGA Championship. He’s having one of the best PGA Tour seasons in recent records and might join a select group of golfers by winning two majors in a single campaign. Of course, it won’t be simple to do that.

The second-ranked golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, the defending PGA Championship champion, Justin Thomas, and other elite competitors like McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, and Brooks Koepka will be Rahm’s opponents. The 2023 PGA Championship is predicted to be very competitive due to a number of unheralded sleepers, value picks, and a revitalized Jason Day lurking in the shadows at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford.
