2025 PGA Championship long shots, sleepers and prop picks: Top 10s, head-to-heads and more
The PGA Championship has produced a long list of big-name winners over the last 20 years. But the long shots in the field this week can still hold out some hope by looking back on John Daly and Rich Beem and picturing themselves holding the Wanamaker Trophy over their heads on Sunday. Some people like to point to Y.E. Yang with his win over Tiger Woods as a somewhat recent underdog to win the PGA Championship, but he was far from a long shot in 2009. He had already won on the PGA Tour that season at the Honda Classic and was a winner at the Korea Open just a few years before that. Advertisement While most of the attention will be on the top of the field regarding winning bets, there is some value in long shots in this field. To bet a long shot in this tournament, they need to be in some sort of ball-striking form, whether it's off the tee or on approach. Players will be using the driver more than 85 percent off the tee this week, and they are going to need to have a decent carry distance to avoid long second shots into the greens. The average approach shot distance on the par 4s is over 185 yards for most players in the field. Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and a handful of others will be playing a slightly different course because of their distance advantage. The long shots I picked below can hang with those guys off the tee and on their approach shots when they are at their best. Min Woo Lee (+9000) is a winner on the PGA Tour this season at the Houston Open and absolutely mashes it off the tee. He gained over 3.6 strokes off the tee for the week at the Truist Championship. He has been excellent around the greens all season, which has helped him save par in big spots while also making par 5s less of a risk on the long second shots. Lee has been inconsistent with the irons all year, and that has made him rely on his putter and his driver a little too much. His best-ever finish in a major was a tie for fifth at the 2023 U.S. Open. He has two straight top-26 finishes at the PGA Championship and is playing Quail Hollow Club for the first time. Keith Mitchell (+10000) has gained over 1.6 strokes off the tee in nine of his last 10 measured events. You throw in a T2 at the Corales Puntacana Championship and the way he drove it at the Zurich Classic, and he is more than likely 11 for his last 12. He has five straight top-18 finishes, and he battled McIlroy here shot for shot in 2021. But his around-the-green game has killed him at the PGA Championship over the years. Advertisement Wyndham Clark (+10000) won the 2023 U.S. Open after surprisingly winning the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. A little putter change and a lesson from Rickie Fowler made all the difference at the time. He has had stretches where he looked like he was going to be among the top five players in the world. A win at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was followed up by a second-place finish at Bay Hill and a T2 at the Players Championship before a back injury derailed him a bit. Clark gained strokes across the board at the Houston Open this year, finishing T5, and gained over 1.3 strokes on the field with his driver in his last round at the Truist Championship. He's a long shot for a reason, as he has never had a very good showing at the PGA Championship, but his experience at this course and his ability to pop out of nowhere have me intrigued. Si Woo Kim (+12500) is at one of his lowest points in his career with his putter, and yet I look at him and know he can win anywhere and against anyone. He has three straight top-17 finishes in regular non-team events, and he has gained over 10 strokes combined on approach over his last two tournaments. He gained over nine strokes at Quail Hollow Club from tee to green in 2024. He has gained over five strokes combined off the tee in his last two trips here.

Masters champion McIlroy to headline Australian Open
The Northern Irishman became just the sixth golfer to complete a career grand slam of all four majors with his dramatic play-off win at Augusta last month. On the eve of the second major of the year, the US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, McIlroy announced he will tee up in the Australian Open from December 4-7 this year at the world-renowned Royal Melbourne course. The 36-year-old will return to Australia in 2026 when the prestigious event moves to the nearby Kingston Heath course. "I'm proud to be committing to the Australian Open for the next two years, especially with it being played on the world-class Melbourne Sandbelt, somewhere I've always wanted to play professionally," McIlroy said. The success of the 121-year-old tournament is "important for the global game", he said. "Melbourne is known for being one of the world's great sporting cities and I can't wait to be part of that atmosphere and soak in everything it has to offer, both on and off the course." His appearance will end an 11-year absence from the tournament he won in 2013. Australian tournament officials are also hopeful of luring home PGA Tour winner Min Woo Lee, as well as major champions Cameron Smith and Adam Scott. "Rory McIlroy, one of the best to ever play our game, playing on the world-renowned Melbourne Sandbelt, is a mouth-watering proposition for golf fans," Golf Australia chief executive James Sutherland said in a statement. At the Masters last month, McIlroy ended a majors win drought stretching back to 2014. Augusta National had been the only major missing from McIlroy's collection, having claimed the US Open in 2011, the Open Championship in 2014 and the PGA Championship in 2012 and 2014.
