The first major of the 2020 golf year will take place on Thursday from Harding Park in San Francisco, California. Things will be completely different. First off, there will be no spectators. Secondly, the 2020 PGA Championship is the first major this year, instead of the last, which it traditionally was for many years, prior to change from August to May in 2019. Here are the top five threesomes for the 2020 PGA Championship.
Brooks Koepka/Gary Woodland/Shane Lowry–This intriguing group has three major winners from 2019. Last year Koepka won the PGA Championship, Woodland won the U.S. Open and Lowry won the British Open. Koepka has won four major championships as he also has won the 2017 and 2018 U.S. Open, along with the 2018 PGA Championship.
Justin Spieth/Dustin Johnson/Justin Rose–In this group, the golfers have won a combined total of five majors. Rose, the Olympic champion from Great Britain, won the 2013 U.S. Open. Johnson won the 2016 U.S. Open, and Spieth won the 2015 U.S. Open and Masters, along with the 2017 British Open. The one major the three have never won is the PGA Championship.
Rory McIlroy/Justin Thomas/Tiger Woods–In this star-studded threesome, you have the 15-time major champion in Woods, four-time champion in McIlroy, and 2017 PGA Championship winner in Thomas, who made golf headlines this week by becoming the number one player in the world after his win at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis. Unlike the previous group, McIlroy, Woods, and Thomas have won the PGA Championship seven times combined.
Adam Scott/Bryson DeChambeau/Rickie Fowler–Even though there is only one major champion among the three (Scott at the 2013 Masters), the excitement for this group is huge. DeChambeau leads the PGA Tour at the moment in driving distance (324.4 yards per drive), while Fowler could be considered the best golfer in the world never to have won a major.
Jon Rahm/Sergio Garcia/Phil Mickelson–The two Spanish greats of Garcia and Rahm get to tee up alongside Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Championship winner, and five-time major champion. Garcia is a major champion himself, as he won the Masters in 2017. While Rahm is second in the world, and recently won The Memorial Tournament in Akron, Ohio.
