World No 1 Scottie Scheffler is back in action for the first time since his Travelers Championship victory last month, with the two-time Masters champion the pre-tournament favourite and chasing a seventh victory in 11 starts
Rory McIlroy has had 21 major top-10s since his 2014 PGA Championship victory without adding to his win tally, having squandered a two-shot lead in the closing holes of the US Open last month, but insists he is ‘closer than ever’ to a fifth major title.
The last six men’s majors have all been won by Americans, with Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau both confident of adding to their victories at the PGA Championship and US Open respectively, while Collin Morikawa is among the names expected to impress.
