World No 1 Dustin Johnson, fresh off a win and a top five in his last two outings, heads the bill this week at the PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club.
PREDICT THE FINISHING ORDER OF THE SAFFAS THIS WEEK AND WIN!
Local bookmakers, BetOlimp, have priced the world No 1 as the man to beat this week as he goes in search of his second Major championship.
A final round 64 at the WGC-Bridgestone has Johnson in a confident mood as he looks to continue his good run of form that includes a win at the RBC Canadian Open two weeks ago. Johnson faces the stiffest competition from two-time PGA Championship winner Rory McIlroy, who finished T2 at the Open and stalled in the final group at Firestone on Sunday, and WGC-Bridgestone winner, Justin Thomas.
Since 1980, only two players have won the week before the PGA and then captured the Wanamaker Trophy: Tiger Woods in 2007 and McIlroy in 2014.
Thomas is also looking to become the first player since Woods, inside the top 10 according to the bookmakers, in 2006-07 to defend the championship.
Top 10 bookies favourites:
1. Dustin Johnson – 8.75/1
2. Rory McIlroy – 12.25/1
3. Justin Thomas – 14.25/1
4. Jordan Spieth – 19.5/1
5. Jason Day – 20/1
6. Brooks Koepka – 20/1
7. Justin Rose – 21/1
8. Rickie Fowler -21/1
9. Tiger Woods – 23/1
10. Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm – 24/1
