Top 5 Dark Horse Candidates to Win the 2024 PGA Championship

Keith Mitchell

We're going deep into the field with this one. Keith Mitchell brings many traits we're looking for at the 2024 PGA Championship. Mitchell is notoriously known as one of the best drivers on tour and has consistently improved his iron play of late. If Mitchell can show off his length on the tee and putt well this week, there's a real chance he can shock many people. Although his standalone price to win it all is tempting, there's likely more value looking at him to finish in the top 20 or 30 range.

Sepp Straka

With dark horse candidates, we're looking for someone who checks off all the boxes, and Sepp Straka does that, boasting a very intriguing price tag. Straka finished seventh last year at Oak Hill at the PGA Championship, which is telling when you factor in the need to drive the ball well. Straka has been heating up leading into this Major, and his skillset has led him to show up big in events like this. Despite being on the younger side, Straka has plenty of potential, and his price shows real value in him hitting that this week.

Mi Woo Lee

I've struggled to project Min Woo Lee weekly, but all signs point to him being a solid value play this week at Valhalla. Min Woo Lee is one of the top players in the world off the tee, and that comes in handy when you're playing a long and challenging course like this one. He's quietly found success in recent Major tournaments, including a top-20 finish at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open last year. How this week is shaping up, Min Woo Lee strikes us a substantial value in this deep field.

Justin Thomas

It's not as though Justin Thomas has been playing that poorly this year; he just isn't winning tournaments. That's a concern for an outright play like this, but it's not as though Thomas is unfamiliar with winning this specific event. Thomas captured the 2022 PGA Championship, and it won't be a surprise to see him show up ready to go for this Major. The only concern I have right now about Thomas is with his putting. He's struggled in that department, but if he can get some putts to go early, that should help create momentum into the weekend.
