\n The purpose of this market is to pick a golfer that finishes within a certain number of positions from the top. This could be a top five finish, a top 10 finish or a top 20 finish. So long as your pick finishes as per your prediction, the bet will pay out. This isn't the same thing as an each-way bet where two stakes are split evenly over a win bet and a place bet – the payout of which is determined by how many places your bookmaker will pay out for – but instead literally rewards punters for correctly predicting that a certain player will finish in the top 5, top 10 or top 20 of competitors.<\/p>\n\n

As uncommon as it is, bookmakers do accept bets on a hole-in-one occurring during a tournament. In 2019, Lucas Bjerregaard managed this rare feat from 206 yards during the PGA Championship; one year later, at the 2020 PGA Championship, Byeong Hun An recorded another.<\/p>\n\n

\n The PGA Championship has been held at various venues across the USA, and for most of its history, took place in August. From 2019 onwards, it has been held in May, making it the second major of the season.<\/p>\n\n
\n The tournament started out in 1916 and was initially a match play event. Today, though, it is a stroke play event after making the switch in 1958.<\/p>\n\n
\n In February 1916, the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA)<\/a> <\/strong>was formed, hosting their first PGA Championship in October that same year at the Siwanoy Country Club<\/a> <\/strong>in Bronxville, New York. Jim Barnes was the first-ever winner and was awarded the Wanamaker Trophy, named after Rodman Wanamaker, an influential figure in the tournament\u2019s conception. This trophy is still awarded to the winners today.<\/p>\n\n\n In 2022, Justin Thomas<\/strong> staged a stunning fightback as he trailed Mito Pereria by seven shots before beating compatriot Will Zalatoris in a dramatic playoff. Thomas was one over through the first six holes, before finding four birdies in his final 10 holes, and went on to hold is nerve on the third playoff hole with a par to lift the Wanamaker Trophy for the second time in his career.<\/p>\n\n
