The 2015 PGA Championship is rife with storylines, not the least of which is world No. 1 Rory McIlroy's return from a ruptured ankle ligament as he tries to defend the Wanamaker Trophy.

A new challenger for McIlroy's perch atop the rankings and for the title of golf's brightest young star is Jordan Spieth. The 22-year-old phenom was just one stroke out of a playoff at The Open Championship after winning the first two majors of the year.

Read on for the complete tee times for the first round, along with predictions as to what will transpire over the first 18 holes.

 



  

Thursday PGA Championship Predictions Rory, Spieth Start Hot



The last time the PGA was held at Whistling Straits came in 2010, when McIlroy's putter went cold in the final round and left him just one shot out of the playoff Martin Kaymer won over Bubba Watson.

Also tying McIlroy on nine under par was Zach Johnson, but the course conditions don't exactly favor the short-hitting American. FoxSportsAsia's Stephanie Wei alludes to how McIlroy has a leg up:



As long as McIlroy is healthy, he figures to be a factor. His massive distance and high ball flight are ideal for PGA Championship venues. Whistling Straits isn't playing much different right now.

If Spieth weren't 17 years old during the 2010 PGA Championship, maybe he would have contended. Based on how tremendous Spieth has been in the majors this year, it's unwise to count him out.
