Scottie Scheffler is the favourite to win the 2026 PGA Championship, which takes place at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. He enters with odds of +480. The tournament begins on Thursday, May 14, and will be played on the par-70, 7,394-yard course. Scheffler won last year’s tournament by five strokes.
Other contenders include Rory McIlroy (+950), Cameron Young (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1500) and Ludvig Aberg (+1800).
Expert’s Best Bets and Predictions
Golf expert Brady Kannon has made his predictions for the 2026 PGA Championship. Kannon has over 30 years of experience and has called eight major winners since 2013. He also hit six PGA winners, including Harris English at 110-1 at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2025. Kannon is also 43-34-5 on head-to-head bets since joining SportsLine.
Kannon has identified his best bets, prop bets, sleepers and golfers to avoid for the 2026 PGA Championship.
Fading Jon Rahm
One of Kannon’s predictions involves fading Jon Rahm at 15-1. He advises avoiding Rahm in outright and head-to-head bets.
“The two-time major champion is a top 5 choice on the odds board to win the PGA Championship but I am guessing his price will drift higher,” Kannon said. “In seven trips to East Lake for the Tour Championship, he’s finished top 5 twice but otherwise has been below average. He finished 24th here at Aronimink in 2018, missed the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in 2024 with injury, missed the cut in 2016 in his only attempt at the Wyndham Championship, and has never played Detroit Golf Club.”
Longshot to Watch
Kannon’s best bets include a longshot with odds higher than 200-1. This player has performed well on similar courses and has an elite short game.
