The 99th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow starts on Thursday, and Rickie Fowler is one of the favorites to win just as he’s been at every major this year. Fowler goes to Quail Hollow coming off top 10s in four of his last six tournaments including the U.S. Open and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. He is fourth-biggest favorite in the field.
- Rory McIlroy: 7-1
- Jordan Spieth: 9-1
- Hideki Matsuyama: 12-1
- Dustin Johnson: 12-1
- Rickie Fowler: 14-1
There is some pretty compelling data, however, about why this weekend could be Fowler’s first major.
