The 99th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow



Welcome to the last Major of the season. Jimmy Walker is the defending champ for this major, though Jordan Spieth enters as the favorite.  He is a victory in this major away from the career grand slam. Rory McIlroy has been hot and has had success at Quail Hollow, he also is a top pick among Vegas sharps. Entering the tourney, here are the current OWGR.

2017 PGA Championship Rules:

The final score of all the players on each team will be added up and the lowest cumulative score wins. Each team will have 4 golfers.

+5 will be added to any players score who misses the cut

-10 will be deducted from the score of the team who picks the Champion

If there is a WD, that player will be given a score of the worst round from that day. And then a one time penalty of +5 (the same penalty a player who misses the cut would get.)

The draft order will be the reverse final standings of the previous major
