The top-ranked players in the world may be playing at the WGC-Bridgestone championship this week, but the golf world is already anticipating next week’s 2012 PGA Championship.

It's the last chance of the year for major championship glory, and for Tiger Woods, the last opportunity to make this season a successful one.

The tournament is being held at the beautiful Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, S.C., and it should be an interesting test.

The Ocean Course is considered to be one of the windiest in the world, and from day-to-day, players could see an eight-club difference from one hole to the next.

This will place a premium on solid ball striking and the ability to fight the ball low.

So, with that being said, let's take a look at a few players who should be favored this week.

 

Jason Dufner

Quietly, Dufner has been one of the most consistent players on tour this season.

He's already won two tournaments this year, and he always seems to be near the top of the leaderboard on the weekend.

He's also performed well at majors this season, making all three cuts. He finished in a tie for 24th at the Masters, a tie for second at the U.S. Open and tied for 31st at The Open Championship.



He's been in contention all season, and the PGA Championship could be the event in which he finally breaks through.

Dufner has a game perfectly tailored to the Ocean Course, He's a remarkably consistent ball striker, and has a piercing flight that will cut help cut through the wind.

Last year, he finished a disappointing second at the PGA, falling in a playoff to Keegan Bradley.

However, Dufner could very well alleviate those painful memories this week with a victory.

 

Luke Donald

He may be the No. 1 player in the world, but Donald has had his share of issues at majors...
