If you’re Jack Nicklaus, then there’s probably not much you haven’t been asked about the game of golf over the years.

With 33 majors between them and countless other wins, it’s hard to argue against anyone who says any different.

Justin Thomas might be in fine form himself right now but even he has admitted he’d take an element of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler’s game if he could. Thomas won the RBC Heritage to get back to the winner’s circle recently and ahead of the PGA Championship, he’s among many people’s favourites to win.

It might be the PGA Championship this week for the best golfers in the world but for Keegan Bradley, there’s one eye on the Ryder Cup later this year.
