It may be a new season, but it's more of the same in 2026 when it comes to Scottie Scheffler's odds. His last official PGA Tour start (not including the unofficial Hero World Challenge) came back in September — a win at the Procore Championship — and yet he's fetching a short +280 price to win this week.

He logged three straight Top-25 finishes from 2022-2024 here at PGA West, as well as a career-best third-place finish in 2020. He didn't play the event last year, but brings his typical level of form into the 2026 edition.

Below Scheffler is a flurry of options in the +1800 to +2500 range, starting with Ben Griffin after a T19 in Hawaii. That bunch also includes Ludvig Aberg and Patrick Cantlay making their 2026 debuts.

Defending champion Sam Burns is in the field and can be had at 40/1 after winning with 50/1 odds a year ago.
