Welcome to the final 2024 PGA Championship edition of SI Golf’s Fact or Fiction, where we deliver a series of statements for writers and editors to declare as “Fact” or “Fiction” along with a brief explanation. Responses may also be “Neutral” since there's a lot of gray area in golf.
Xander Schauffele birdied the 72nd hole to win the PGA Championship by one shot over Bryson DeChambeau for his first major title. Now that he’s off the schneid, Schauffele will win more majors.that Schauffele would win this one—and now let me warn you that there are more to come. He’s too consistently good in majors not to win more. Just as this one was inevitable, so are others to come. Phi Mickelson was 34 when he won his first, then won five more.

But Valhalla Golf Club again delivered high drama in front of huge crowds, and it should get another PGA Championship.This pains me to say as a Louisville resident, and as someone who has covered every bonkers PGA and Ryder Cup hosted by Valhalla. They have been fun and memorable and dramatic—but there also is a lot of negative momentum to overcome.
