The PGA Championship may be the last of this year's four major championships and the lowest-ranked in public perception, but this year's battle for the Wanamaker Trophy could turn out to be the most competitive tournament of the year.

Not only is Jordan Spieth honed and ready to make a run at his third major championship of the year, but also, Rory McIlroy is back after rupturing an ankle ligament earlier this summer, Dustin Johnson wants to make amends for his U.S. Open final-hole disaster and Bubba Watson is very close to top form.

The favorites are well-represented, but golf does not always play to form. Take last week, for example, as Irishman Shane Lowry crossed the Atlantic and outlasted the field in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. In a field that included Spieth, Watson, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day, Lowry's victory was a clear upset.

It could happen again in the PGA Championship. Less than 24 hours before the start of the tournament, it seems unlikely that one of the big names won't come away with the championship, but here's a look at several underrated players who have a chance to win the year's final major.



 

Robert Streb (+8,000)

Talk about underrated, Streb definitely fits the description. Streb is relatively unknown to casual golf fans, but he has accomplished quite a bit this year, as he ranks fifth in FedEx Cup points and is the 40th-ranked golfer in the world.

Streb has been very active on the PGA Tour this season, having played in 25 tournaments and making the cut in 20 of them. He has one victory and one second-place finish to his credit, and he has finished in the top 10 eight times. He has won more than $3.4 million this year, and that's pretty good for an "unknown."

Robert Streb has 7 top-20s in his past 8 starts, including 3 top-5s. He was P2 at Greenbrier and T5 at Bridgestone. 5th in FedExCup.
