PGA CHAMPIONSHIP | THURSDAY-SUNDAY

The stakes: Rory McIlroy’s victory at The Masters has been the highlight of this golf season so far. Heading into the second major of the year, The PGA Championship will give us golf’s next signature moment and an opportunity for an established star to cement their legacy or an emerging one to make theirs. Unlike The Masters, which is played on the same course every year, the PGA Championship has a new location at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania.

This course sets up as one that will favor precision, rewarding players who are accurate on their second shots and with their putters. The players who excel in these areas will be the ones contending on Sunday.

What to watch for: There are a few important storylines surrounding the top contenders that will define this major:

Scottie Scheffler: Arrives as the defending PGA Championship winner. After a slow start early this season he has finished runner-up in three consecutive PGA tournaments. He has been finding form recently but cannot seem to get over the line. The question is whether he can finally put it all together and defend his PGA Championship title this weekend.
Rory McIlroy: Comes in off his Masters win as the player everyone is chasing. Rory made headlines this week by talking about taking a different approach than most, leaning on his driver rather than playing the conservative, precision game most expect from this course. Watch whether that aggressive strategy pays off on a course loaded with bunkers.
Cameron Young: Arguably one of the hottest golfers on tour this season. He has two outright wins this year and four top-seven finishes in his last seven starts. He is one of the top contenders to win this week.
Jordan Spieth: Won the Masters, the US Open, and The Open Championship. The PGA Championship is the only major he has left to complete the career Grand Slam, one of the rarest achievements in all of sports. Only six players in history have ever completed it. This weekend will be his chance.

The Betting Angle [Powered by WagerXpert]:

Xander Schauffele top-10 (+168): If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. We’re going back to the well after hitting this play for the Masters. Xander Schauffele for a top-10 finish. He has finished top-10 in four of his last five major starts and just finds a way to keep himself at the top of the leaderboard and perform in these majors.
J.J Spaun top-20 (+200): Spaun has gotten hot finishing in the top 25 in each of his last three tournaments. His game is well suited for Aronimink and he is getting hot at exactly the right time.

NBA PLAYOFFS | THURSDAY-SUNDAY

Spurs vs. Timberwolves | Game 6: The Spurs can close out this series with a win on the road on Friday night. After being suspended for throwing an elbow in Game 4, Victor Wembanyama returned with a vengeance putting up a monster game (27pts and 17 rebs) in a blowout Game 5 victory. The momentum is on the Spurs side but Anthony Edwards has singlehandedly taken over games before. See if he can will the Timberwolves to a win setting up for a Game 7 Sunday.

Pistons vs. Cavaliers | Game 6: The Cavaliers have flipped this series entirely. After a concerning start Donovan Mitchell has taken over, averaging 33 points per game and delivering a clutch shot late in Game 5 to steal a road win and put Cleveland in the driver's seat. Friday night the Cavs have a chance to close it out in Detroit and knock off the Eastern Conference top seed in six games. Watch whether Detroit can respond on the road in an elimination game or whether Mitchell delivers one more signature moment to send Cleveland to the next round.
