The world’s elite golfers are set to converge at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, for the highly anticipated 2026 PGA Championship. This tournament marks the second major of the golf season, drawing in fans and competitors from around the globe.
Leading the pack is Scottie Scheffler, the reigning champion, who enters the tournament as the +350 favorite according to FanDuel Sportsbook. This event continues a remarkable streak for Scheffler, who has been the top betting favorite in 14 consecutive majors.
Not since the 2022 Open Championship, where Cam Smith emerged victorious, has anyone else begun a major with better odds than the 29-year-old Scheffler. His consistent performance and formidable skill set make him a perennial favorite among both fans and oddsmakers.
Hot on his heels is Rory McIlroy, positioned as the second favorite with odds of +650. McIlroy, who celebrated a victory at Augusta National just a month ago, remains a formidable contender. Despite having only participated in one event since his Masters win—finishing tied for 19th at the Truist Championship—his talent and recent form cannot be underestimated.
Interestingly, aside from Scheffler and McIlroy, no other golfer in the field has managed to secure single-digit odds, highlighting the dominance and expectation surrounding these two formidable players.

Cameron Young, this season’s breakout superstar, is right behind Scheffler and McIlroy after finishing T10 at Quail Hollow this past weekend.
A pair of LIV juggernauts, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, are the fourth- and fifth-favorites at 15/1 and 20/1 with Xander Schauffele (18/1) wedged in between.
Both Rahm and DeChambeau were trendy picks to win the Masters, but they both struggled. DeChambeau missed the cut, while Rahm finished T38.
They’ll also be dealing with plenty of distractions as they’re sure to be peppered with questions about the future of LIV.

Robert MacIntyre, who was a popular pick at Augusta at 35/1, is 60/1 ahead of the second major of the season. Min Woo Lee, who was near the top of the board at last week’s Truist Championship, is being offered at 100/1 at Aronimink.
