It’s a big weekend in what has been an excellent first half of the season on the PGA Tour. The PGA Championship is here, the second major of the year, and it’s at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina for the first time since 2012.
Favorites to Win PGA Championship
- Rory McIlroy (+1150)
- Jon Rahm (+1450)
- Justin Thomas (+1450)
- Jordan Spieth (+1450)
- Bryson DeChambeau (+1650)
- Xander Schauffele (+1700)
- Dustin Johnson (+1850)
- Viktor Hovland (+2000)
- Daniel Berger (+3000)
- Collin Morikawa (+3000)
Your eyes do not deceive you. That is Rory McIlroy on top of the favorites board. After 18 months without a win and becoming a forgotten man on tour, McIlroy just won at the Wells Fargo in Quail Hollow, and the betting public is once again on McIlroy to win.
He did miss the cut at the Masters and THE PLAYERS Championship and finished tied for 33rd in last season’s PGA Championship. So buyers be a little wary. Does one win cure all? Maybe not. But the last time the PGA Championship was played on this course, McIlroy won by eight strokes.
This is a long course, so naturally, Bryson DeChambeau is in the running. He was a top-10 finisher at the Wells Fargo, but this past weekend he struggled to a 55th place finish at the Byron Nelson.
Dustin Johnson is still the world’s No. 1 ranked player, but here he’s only seventh. He’s not been great this year, but if you’re looking for a favorite to bet, DJ comes with real value.
If you’re looking for a breakthrough candidate to win his first major, give Daniel Berger a look at +3000. This season he won at Pebble Beach, was top 10 at THE PLAYERS, and tied for third at the Byron Nelson.
Underdogs to Consider
Brooks Koepka is recovering from knee surgery, but as a two-time PGA Championship winner, it’s hard to resist his +5000 payday.
Keegan Bradley was second at Valspar, was just one round away from going top-10 at the Wells Fargo, and is a past PGA Championship winner. He also finished third when the PGA was at this course and is paying a very enticing +7000.
If you really want to take a chance, think about Sergio Garcia at +11000. He missed his last three cuts but started with a 68 at the Heritage and a 65 at the Byron Nelson, and he has 12 top-five finishes at major championships.
