PGA Championship past winners
Based on recent history, Koepka has a leg up to win the PGA Championship after winning each of the last two tournaments. Koepka is tied with McIlroy for second-most wins in the event this millennium (two), trailing only Tiger Woods’ three. Koepka is also the only golfer besides Tiger to have won this event in back-to-back years since 2000; Woods won in 2006 and ‘07.
That said, Thomas enters the event having won the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational last weekend, and he is the last golfer prior to Koepka to win the PGA Championship. Woods (world No. 15) last won the event in 2007. Here’s a full breakdown of the winners (and their first-place share) for each of the last 20 PGA championships:
