The majority of the recent major winners in golf have been some of the top names in the sport.
Tiger Woods and Brooks Koepka enter the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links as the first two major winners of the season.
In the last five years, Jordan Speith, Jason Day, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson have emerged as major champions from the top of the favorites list.
While a few unexpected players could surge up the leaderboard at Pebble Beach because of the large field, the favored golfers could be in line to produce another star-studded final round, similar to what we witnessed when Woods won The Masters.
