Rory McIlroy PGA Championship Prediction 2023
Rory McIlroy was synonymous with the PGA Championship early in his career, winning the tournament twice while picking up two third-place finishes in his first six entries. While he's found varying levels of success since then, he did impress by placing eighth just last year.

McIlroy has been hard to predict during the current golf season, though. On one hand, he's failed to crack the top 25 five times in eight events played. On the other, he's placed 10th or better in the other three tournaments, highlighted by a win at the CJ Cup.
I'm casting a wide net with the best bet by recommending a McIlroy top-20 finish at -155 odds. While he's placed eighth or better in four of his last five Major appearances, his play this season is too inconsistent to trust, finishing T47 or worse in three of his last four showings.
Having said that, he's capable of turning things on at the flick of a switch, hence why I still see him having the potential to place 20th or better.
