There’s never been a PGA Championship quite like this one. Come Sunday morning there were 21 players within four shots of the lead, and eight major winners among them. Every one of those 21 and a good few more woke up thinking that they had a shot at winning the Wanamaker Trophy.
There was the six-time major champion Rory McIlroy; the 2022 Open champion, Cam Smith; the 2017 and 2022 PGA champion, Justin Thomas; the 2021 US Open and 2023 Masters champion, Jon Rahm; and on, and on, and on, all the way down the leaderboard.
