Majors seem to be falling in favor of the world's best players now more than ever. The last six have gone to four of the best players in the world -- Scheffler (twice), Xander Schauffele, (twice), McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau -- but a couple bounces here and there, and the stories being told are completely different.

With thick, 5-inch rough and very narrow fairways, driving accuracy will be at a premium this week. Given the thick rough and the fact that the course is 7,373 yards, driving distance and clubhead speed will be another critical asset.
