PGA Championship 2021: Rory McIlroy's revival, Jordan Spieth's resurgence among 10 storylines at Kiawah

McIlroy, Spieth and Dustin Johnson are among the stars with increased attention this week

The second major championship of the year has arrived, and despite a field that lacks some momentum at the top going into this tournament, there are still some outstanding storylines (as always) for the 2021 PGA Championship. There's plenty to look forward to this week as the PGA returns to the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island after a nine-year hiatus. Rory McIlroy has won just two more majors since that romp in 2012 (if you had under 2.5, congratulations on somehow hitting that), and he is once again playing best-player-in-the-world kind of golf coming in. He won his last start at the Wells Fargo Championship two weeks ago and has emerged as the somewhat-surprising favorite to run it back this week at Kiawah. McIlroy is one of a handful of interesting player narratives leading into what should be an awesome week. Kiawah is a curious course, and gallery sizes are starting to swell. Oh yeah, the career grand slam is again on the line this week with somebody who might currently be the No. 1 player on the planet.
