There's a clear favorite (or two, depending on whom you ask) to win the 2020 PGA Championship.
Brooks Koepka enters the 2020 iteration of this event having won each of the last two outings. Yet Justin Thomas, who last won this event in 2017, is also among the favorites to take home the Wanamaker Trophy after scoring his third win of the season at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational on Sunday.
Will one of those two golfers take home the winner's share this week? Or will it instead go to someone from the field?
