Golf Betting: PGA Championship Tips - Tommy looks a great fit for TPC Harding Park

Tommy Fleetwood will be 2 tournaments deep in terms of a warm up before the PGA Championships and he should be in perfect shape for a run at the trophy at a good price on a perfect course for him

The US PGA Championships will make it's 5th appearance in Cali and first in San Francisco when the "test of shotmaking" TPC Harding Park course takes centre stage. No better place to look for clues then than at TPC Southwind for the WGC ST. Jude - a track described as a "shotmaker's paradise". TPC Harding Park itself is described as being built on gently rolling peninsula surrounded by Lake Merced off the Pacific Ocean. There's a clue right there: think wind.
TPC Harding Park hosted the American Express in 2005 and the WGC Matchplay in 2015. In all, 50% of the contenders were European's, solid drivers and fine links exponents. Might not be much of a sample but sometimes it doesn't have to be - just logical and I think the Euro's will really fancy this track for the PGA championships
