We get our second Major this week in One And Done pools, with the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

Scottie Scheffler is back after taking last week off for the birth of his first child, while Rory McIlroy won last week’s event to come in on a roll as well.

All the biggest names and top players are here, and it makes for a key event in your One And Done pools. It also unofficially marks the start of the stretch run to the money. Depending on when your pool began, you are now past the half way point or likely hitting it. There are 13 total tournaments remaining in most pools (that end at the BMW Championship).

Let’s go through what to think about in making your One And Done picks for the PGA Championship.

Last Week’s One And Done Pick Results

• Rory McIlroy surged to victory in a final pairing shootout with Xander Schauffele, beating Schauffele by five strokes and everyone else in the field by at least eight.
• McIlroy and Schauffele both had decent popularity and were among the more common picks in a week where Scottie Scheffler was not playing.
• McIlroy was our third-highest grade on average. Wyndham Clark finished in 47th, while Max Homa was 8th, among our other highest grades entering the week.

PGA Championship One And Done Pick Strategy: Purse Info

The PGA Championship is the second Major of the year. Last year’s purse was a total purse of $17.5 million and $3.15 million going to first place. We will update when we have official purse info but the Majors purses typically aren’t announced in advance, and so it is likely at or above those amounts for this year.

• Brooks Koepka, the defending champion, also won his last LIV event two weeks ago.
• Scottie Scheffler, the betting favorite, took off from last week’s event for the birth of his first child, but has won the last four big-money event starts he has made (RBC Heritage, The Masters, The Player’s Championship, and the Arnold Palmer).
• Rory McIlroy won last week’s Wells Fargo Championship and has now won in both of his last two starts as well (also the Zurich Classic).
• Last year’s surprise story, Michael Block, is back after the club pro finished 15th a year ago.
