The top players in the world will once again descend upon Baltusrol Golf Club this week for the 98th playing of the PGA Championship.

Baltusrol is a 121-year-old A.W. Tillinghast design that has played host to 11 professional majors and six amateur championships.

Willie Anderson won the first of his three consecutive U.S. Open titles at Baltusrol in 1903.

Jack Nicklaus claimed two U.S. Open titles at this historic gem in 1967 and 1980.

Baltusrol last hosted the PGA Championship back in 2005 when Phil Mickelson won in dramatic fashion with a birdie on the 72nd hole on Monday morning. Heavy rains had halted play Sunday evening.

As a major championship host, Baltusrol has rarely disappointed and will more than likely provide yet another memorable tournament this week.

As is the case with most majors, the favorites are quite easy to identify.

But here are nine players entering this week’s PGA Championship at least somewhat under the radar who may shock the world by hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday evening.

Unless otherwise specified, all odds are from Odds Shark (as of July 27), and all statistics are from the PGA Tour.
