CHARLOTTE — One month ago, less than 24 hours before the Masters began, a local radio station was incredulous reading through the nine most likely golfers to claim the green jacket. Some of the hosts raised eyebrows, while others lamented that only big names and betting favorites were among the selections in this space.
Well, your voices were heard, and for the 2025 PGA Championship, some seasoning has been added. Perhaps a little marinade. The selections were given an opportunity to chill overnight before being cooked hours before the 107th playing of this tournament for the Wanamaker Trophy.
To set the record straight, though, Rory McIlroy was chief among that list of nine players who could actually go out and win the Masters. Spoiler alert! He is on the short list of players who could win the PGA Championship, too. Why wouldn’t he be? McIlroy has the most wins this season and the most wins at this golf course — a total of four, including just last year.
Sometimes, it is easy to overthink predictions. It is similarly easy to try and be different. Simply acknowledging the dissidents, in this case, allowed us to fall into that trap.
However, when it comes to projecting major championship victories … the last five have been, well, simple to figure out. An early deluge of rain at Quail Hollow Club may allow this PGA Championship to follow suit in terms of predictability,
McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele. Those four players possess the last five major championships. Those four players are the top four players. Those four players are among the nine who can win this golf tournament.
As far as the other five? Well, find out for yourself. There will be a little something for everyone.

Knicks’ 3-point defense was disastrous in Game 5 loss to Celtics: Film breakdown
BOSTON — One would assume a team with an opportunity to move one step closer to its ultimate goal would be focused. One would assume a team on the cusp of doing something no team before it has done in 25 years would execute at the highest degree. One would assume a team with a 3-1 series lead over the defending champions, who are without their best player, would be eager to put the champs down on the mat as soon as possible.AdvertisementThe New York Knicks had an opportunity to do and show all of those things Wednesday night, and yet they did none of them.

From Jaylen Brown to Luke Kornet, Celtics show world there’s more basketball to be played
BOSTON — Let’s be clear on this: These 2024-25 Boston Celtics are not scrappy underdogs. Being faced with a 3-1 second-round deficit as they punched in for work Wednesday night was entirely of their own doing, thanks to too many missed 3’s, too little defensive cleverness and, worst of all, a general sluggishness that’s unbecoming of defending NBA champions.AdvertisementAnd yet here they are, heading back to New York for Game 6 after their take-that 127-102 victory over the Knicks at TD Garden. And as the hoops world well knows, they did it without Jayson Tatum. Or maybe they did it because of Tatum, using their star player’s season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon to provide an emotional boost to keep this season going.“Honestly, losing JT is tough, especially for how much work he puts into the game, works on his body, everything […]
