💰 PGA Championship odds betting favorite
Scottie Scheffler (+400)
Scottie Scheffler has been the favorite by the 2026 PGA Championship odds since the market first opened last May, following his first win of the Wanamaker. He opened with odds of +400, and they've held steady since. Then his third career major championship victory, he went on to win last year's Open Championship as well.
Scheffler started the 2026 PGA Tour season with a win in The American Express. He had a run of middling results since and skipped the final two tune-up events ahead of the Masters for the birth of his second child.
Though his "fine" still competes on the PGA Tour in many statistical categories, he had regressed at least somewhat with his irons and dropped in strokes gained: approach. His short game and putting was improved, but not enough to contend in the season's first few Signature Events.
I don't expect these odds to shorten before the week of the PGA Championship, so I'd hold out for any outright bets.
Rory McIlroy (+700)
After defending his title at the 2026 Masters, McIlroy is heading to Aronimink Golf Club with the most momentum of his career and a chance to secure his seventh major title. Historically, McIlroy has excelled on Ross layouts. While the course's undulating greens are a massive test for the field, Rory currently ranks fourth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: total, proving his all-around game is one of the best in the world right now. Rory played in the BMW Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in 2018 where he was 18-under and finished solo fifth. At +700, you could do worse.
