The search for five first round plays in the PGA Championship
Not long now until the second Major of 2021 is underway and here are some ways you can get your week off to a great start.
Questions remain about exactly what we're about to witness on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island this week.
Sergio Garcia to miss the cut
In one sense, this week's test ought to suit Sergio Garcia.
That's all so bad you'd think a weekend is due, but that stats suggest he'd be odds on to miss the cut and yet you can get 13/8 with Skybet that he'll miss it.
Bubba Watson to win his first round three-ball
The two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson is up against the 2016 Open champion Henrik Stenson and the same year's Masters winner Danny Willett.

He's also got a very early tee time so he'll get the lightest of the wind if the forecast is correct. He's a whopping 300/1 with Sport Nation.
First Round Leader - the solid option?
Consider this: when this championship came to the Ocean Course in 2012, Rory McIlroy did not win courtesy of one good round but, rather, thanks to three of them.
He's best price 22/1 with Bet365.
