PGA Championship favorites

Scottie Scheffler (+400)

Scottie Scheffler has been fetching short odds at all four majors for nearly two years, and that won’t change in 2026. The World No. 1 lapped the field a year ago, winning by five shots at Quail Hollow, and he’s finishing inside the Top 10 four other times since his PGA Championship debut in 2020.

Rory McIlroy (+700)

Rory McIlroy finished T47 at Quail Hollow despite entering the week as a popular choice at a course he’s won on many times before. Still, the two-time champ is in great form, and he did finish T12, T7, and eighth in the three previous editions of the PGA.

Do betting favorites usually win the PGA Championship?

Not always. PGA Championship outrights are a deep market, and even elite players win at a low rate in a single-event sample. Historically, many winners come from the short-to-mid range rather than the single shortest favorite. Use favorites as a starting point, then compare price to course fit, current form, and alternative markets like Top 10/Top 20.

What’s the best way to bet the PGA Championship besides outrights?

If you don’t want the volatility of an outright, consider Top 5/Top 10/Top 20 finisher bets or head-to-head matchups, which can better reflect form and course fit. Props can also offer angles without needing the winner.
