PGA Tour Writers Spotlight 108th PGA Championship Storylines at Aronimink

9 articles · Updated · PGA TOUR · May 13

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy dominate the pre-tournament debate, with writers framing the 108th PGA Championship as a possible showdown between players who have won four of the last five majors.
Aronimink itself is the other central question: players expect scoring chances if rain softens the course, but Donald Ross’s large, demanding greens and any weekend wind could quickly toughen the test.
Matt Fitzpatrick, Ludvig Aberg, Tommy Fleetwood and Brooks Koepka feature prominently as players under pressure or poised to shape the week, while Cameron Young and Matt Fitzpatrick are also cited as possible long-term challengers to golf’s top two.
Predictions still lean heavily toward proven major winners, especially defending champion Scheffler, though Fitzpatrick drew support as a credible alternative and several writers flagged underdog possibilities such as Nicolai Hojgaard and Sudarshan Yellamaraju.
