The competition brings men’s major golf back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the first time in 64 years.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFields Ranch East was designed by Gil Hanse and opened as part of the wider PGA Frisco development in 2023.

It can stretch beyond 7,800 yards, yet length is not expected to provide its only defence.

Missing the correct section of a green may still leave a difficult chip, bunker shot or long putt over several slopes. The course’s smaller targets place greater pressure on approach distance and direction than the generous fairways might initially suggest. That is an inference from the published course design rather than a guarantee about the final championship setup.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWind performance deserves attention as May approaches. Some golfers are comfortable reducing spin and flighting the ball down. Others prefer attacking high through the air, which can become harder when gusts change direction.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reliable short game will help too. Even the leading ball strikers will miss greens across four rounds. The eventual champion may be the golfer who turns those misses into pars rather than allowing a difficult lie to become a double bogey.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exact setup remains unknown.

Early markets elsewhere currently place Scottie Scheffler at the front, with Rory McIlroy next and Jon Rahm, Cameron Young, Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Åberg forming the nearest chasing group.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eScottie Scheffler\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScheffler’s position is hardly surprising.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in 2025 and remains one of the game’s most consistent tee-to-green players. The combination of width, length and demanding approaches at Fields Ranch East looks well suited to a golfer who repeatedly gives himself birdie chances without making many large mistakes.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe will also have the advantage of competing close to home. Scheffler grew up in the Dallas area, so PGA Frisco should feel far more familiar than the average first-time major venue.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA short price leaves little room for error, though.

He can also launch long irons high enough to attack small greens when other players are trying to hold them with lower-percentage shots.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFields Ranch East will ask for patience as well as power. McIlroy’s chances may depend on whether he avoids the short putting misses and untidy stretches that have occasionally interrupted otherwise excellent major weeks.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe entered the final round at Aronimink only one shot from the lead in 2026 but could not match Rai’s finish.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eJon Rahm\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRahm came closer than anyone other than Smalley to stopping Rai.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe finished the 2026 tournament on six under after a closing 68, sharing second place. His controlled power, ability to shape iron shots and comfort in wind make him an obvious candidate for another challenge in Texas.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty is price versus recent results.
