Have you made up your mind on which golfer you’ll bet on for the 2021 PGA Championship? Let some of the golf experts help you decide while there’s still time to bet. Check out their picks and top players to watch out for in this upcoming event at Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, down in Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
Chris Murphy of the Action Network watched the action closely at the 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson last week and came away with a list of three players he thinks could make loud noises this week at Ocean Course at Kiawah Island: Daniel Berger, Charl Schwartzel, Will Zalatoris. Berger finished with a T3 at the AT&T Byron Nelson and how has five top 10s in 14 starts this season. Meanwhile, Schwartzel has not missed a cut in all of his last seven starts, making him catch the attention of Murphy. Lastly, there’s Zalatoris, who was a disappointment at the Wells Fargo Championship with a missed cut but restored people’s confidence with a T17 at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Jordan Spieth
Daniel Rapaport of Golf Digest is excited over the prospect of Jordan Spieth making a run this week. Spieth had just returned to action after dealing with COVID-19, which forced him to miss starts after finishing the Masters Tournament with a T3. He didn’t look so rusty, though, when he finished with a T9 at the AT&T Byron Nelson. Spieth has cracked the top 10 seven times in 16 starts this season, including his win at the Valero Texas Open.

Daniel Berger
Mike McClure of SportsLine believes that Berger is in for a strong performance at the 2021 PGA Championship. Take away Bergers’ cut at the 2021 Masters Tournament, and he would have gone 6 of 6 in his last six starts, a stretch that featured three top 10s, including a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Berger is currently third in birdie average and 10th in greens in regulation percentage.
