5 sleeper picks for the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, including Tommy Fleetwood and Rickie Fowler at 60/1

It’s major time.

The best players in the world are at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, for the 2023 PGA Championship.

Jon Rahm, the No. 1-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking, claimed the first major of the year at the Masters in April. He’s the second betting favorite at +750 behind Scottie Scheffler (+700). The two players have combined to win six events this season.

Although the field is littered with stars from both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf League, there are several names further down the odds list worth keeping an eye on.

Here are five sleeper picks for the PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
