By far, the biggest game of the year is ready to start with the iconic TPC Sawgrass, the best historical struggle of the PGA Tour. Still online? A check of $4.5 million was made to the winner.
Scottie Scheffler is not only a world No. 1 and bet favorite, but also the one who has won players in the past two years.
World No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who tried to break his shot in his historic sawgrass three games, has won the iconic event title this season, while world No. 3 Xander Schauffele won two major titles last year. The three of them will be in the same group on Thursday.
