2026 PGA Championship Odds, Predictions: Favorites, Long-Shot bets to make

NEWYou can now listen to Pakinomist articles!

The second major championship of the season has arrived, with 156 players ready to duke it out at the 108th PGA Championship this week at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

In 2025, Scottie Scheffler lifted the Wanamaker Trophy when he won the PGA Championship by five strokes in a dominant performance at Quail Hollow Golf Club.

Although he is favored to repeat at +380, Scheffler has just one win so far this season. That’s somewhat unusual for him after winning six events in 2025 and seven in 2024. However, he enters this tournament with three straight second-place finishes in his last three events and looks to be heating up at the right time.

Rory McIlroy (+910) is the other choice entering the tournament after his second straight Masters win in April.

Can Rory McIlroy win back-to-back majors and capture the seventh major championship of his career? Or will Jon Rahm (+1450) or Bryson DeChambeau (+1950) put a LIV golfer back in the winner’s circle of the major championship? And what if Jordan Spieth (+6300) shocks the world and makes history by completing the career Grand Slam?

Let’s dive into the full odds for the PGA Championship at DraftKing’s Sportsbook starting May 12.

Best outright bets:

Xander Schauffele to win: +1950 (bet $10 to win $205 total)

Schauffele has remarkably finished inside the top 20 in 15 of his last 16 major appearances dating back to 2022. While the top-20 market is probably the safest bet, he also has a strong chance to win the tournament outright.

In his last five starts on tour, Schauffele has finished in the top 12 four times. He ranks seventh on tour in scrambling and has had more than two strokes on approach in two of his last five starts. He won two majors in 2024, including the PGA Championship, and has a strong chance to become a two-time winner of this event.

Matt Fitzpatrick wins: +2250 (bet $10 to win $235 total)

Fitzpatrick has arguably been the best golfer in the world this season. He has three wins in his last five starts, along with a close second at The Players Championship. Fitzpatrick is currently tied for fifth on the PGA Tour in approach games and has hit on the approach in 11 of his last 12 starts.

His short game has also been elite this year, which will be especially important at Aronimink, as he has hit shots around the green in eight straight starts.

Fitzpatrick looks to break through and win a major this season.

Long Shots and Value Bets to Consider

Patrick Cantlay: +5300 (bet $10 to win $540 total)

Cantlay offers perhaps the best value in the entire field this week. Although his major championship history has not been great, he is far too talented to be listed over 50-1. Cantlay is coming off four straight top-12 finishes, including a T-12 at the Masters, where he climbed the leaderboard over the weekend after opening with a +5 round on Thursday.

His putting has held him back at times this season, but he had the best putting weekend of the year last week at the Truist Championship and enters this tournament with real momentum.

Robert MacIntyre: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)

Short game will be extremely important this week at Aronimink, and MacIntyre is one of the best putters in the world. Despite missing the cut at the Masters earlier this year, his recent major championship form has been strong, finishing runner-up at the US Open and T-7 at The Open Championship last season.

His recent form hasn’t been great, with a missed cut, T-42 and T-60 in his last three starts. However, he seems to be elevating his game in major events, which was evident in his fourth place finish at The Players Championship earlier this year.

Adam Scott: +6800 (bet $10 to win $690 total)

The last time Adam Scott won a golf tournament was in February 2020. So why should anyone bet on him this weekend? Because he has been one of the best ball strikers on Tour this season. Scott has been the best approach player on Tour from inside 100 yards, ranks third in total strokes gained on approach and sits inside the top 10 in several other ball-striking measures.

He already has two top-five finishes this season and brings plenty of major championship experience into the week. While he ranks just 90th on Tour in putting, which has largely held him back from a breakout year, he hit the greens last week for the first time in five starts. If he can even putt slightly above average again this week, his iron game is good enough to get him into the winner’s circle.
