Jon Rahm is Kannon’s main fade for the PGA Championship, with the SportsLine handicapper avoiding the Spaniard in both outright and head-to-head bets ahead of Thursday’s start at Aronimink.
Kannon said Rahm’s off-course distractions — including turmoil around LIV Golf and controversy over a possible DP World Tour return — could hurt his preparation for the year’s second major.
Rahm also brings mixed course and event form into the week: he finished 24th at Aronimink in 2018, missed the 2024 U.S. Open with injury and has uneven results at several comparable stops cited by Kannon.
Scottie Scheffler enters as the +480 favorite after winning the 2025 PGA Championship by five shots, with Rory McIlroy at +850, Cameron Young at +1200 and Rahm at +1500.
