PGA Championship favorites
Scottie Scheffler (+350)
Scottie Scheffler has been fetching short odds at all four majors for nearly two years, and that hasn't changed in 2026. The World No. 1 lapped the field a year ago, winning by five shots at Quail Hollow, and he's finished inside the Top 10 four other times since his PGA Championship debut in 2020.
Rory McIlroy (+700)
The back-to-back Masters champ finished T47 at Quail Hollow last year 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.
PGA Championship biggest odds movers
Biggest riser:
Cameron Young (+6000 to +2000)
Winning the PLAYERS Championship and being in the final group at the Masters stamped Cam Young as a true major championship threat, and though he didn't get the job done, it feels more like when and not if he snags his first big trophy.
Biggest faller:
Joaquin Niemann (+4000 to +5000)
Once viewed as someone who might be able to make some noise at a major, Joaquin Niemann has been a total non-factor over the last six months, missing four straight cuts in non-LIV events.

How to bet on the PGA Championship
The PGA Championship is one of the most bet golf events of the year, so naturally, many will be placing their first golf bets on the tournament. If that happens to be you, we've got you covered with our beginner's guide to how to bet on golf.
The most popular way to bet on golf is by simply picking the winner, which is referred to as an outright. There are plenty of other ways to wager on most golf betting sites, however, including top finishers, head-to-head matchups, and plenty of props.

PGA Championship odds FAQs
Who has the best odds to win the 2026 PGA Championship?
Scottie Scheffler has the best odds to win the 2026 PGA Championship at +350. That's an implied probability of 22%. Remember, odds are subject to change, so the favorite can shift as results and news move the market.
How often are 2026 PGA Championship odds updated?
Books can adjust PGA Championship futures at any time, especially after PGA Tour events, major news, or heavy betting action. On this page, the odds shown reflect the timestamp listed in the odds table. If you’re comparing prices, refresh the page and check the book’s current listing.
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.
