We are back to big-time golf as the 2023 PGA Championship tees off Thursday, May 18th at the Oak Hill Country Club's East Course in Rochester, New York. Here are the last 10 Wanamaker Trophy winners at the PGA Championship:
Since the PGA Championship is separate from the PGA Tour itself, 18 LIV Tour golfers are in the field. This includes 2-time PGA Champions Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson and the 2022 Champion Golfer of the Year, Cameron Smith.
I'll circle back Tuesday with my Horses for the Course and a golf gambling show on the OutKick Bets podcast feed. But, first, let's look at betting odds for the top 20 golfers at the 2023 PGA Championship and overview the Oak Hill Country Club.

Oak Hill Country Club (East Course) overview
The East Course at Oak Hill Country Club has hosted several PGA Tour majors, most recently the 2013 PGA Championship. This is a Par 70 that plays to 7,394 yards with two Par 5s, four Par 3s, and 12 Par 4s and Bent grass greens.
Hitting fairways and greens-in-regulation are a must at Oak Hill because the rough is thick. The bunkers are “hazards” at Oak Hill. Meaning, golfers might have to “take their medicine” and lose a shot if hitting out of the sand traps.
Here are the average distance of approach shots for several distances at Oak Hill’s East Course measured by data analyst Andy Lack from RickRunGood.com:
