The season’s second major championship is upon us, with 156 competitors set to battle at the 108th PGA Championship this week at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
In 2025, Scottie Scheffler claimed the Wanamaker Trophy with a dominant five-stroke victory at Quail Hollow Golf Club. He enters as the favorite to repeat at +380 odds, though he has only one win this season—a notable drop from his six titles in 2025 and seven in 2024. However, Scheffler has posted three consecutive runner-up finishes in his last three events, suggesting he is heating up at the perfect moment.
Rory McIlroy (+910) is the second choice after securing his second straight Masters title in April. Can he win back-to-back majors and capture his seventh career major? Or will Jon Rahm (+1450) or Bryson DeChambeau (+1950) return a LIV Golf player to the major winner’s circle? And what about Jordan Spieth (+6300), who could complete the career Grand Slam with a shocking victory?
Let’s examine the full odds for the PGA Championship from a leading sportsbook as of May 12.

**Best Outright Bets**
**Xander Schauffele to win: +1950**

Schauffele has been remarkably consistent in majors, finishing inside the top 20 in 15 of his last 16 appearances since 2022. While the top-20 market is safe, his outright chances are strong. In his last five Tour starts, he has four top-12 finishes, ranks seventh in scrambling, and has gained over two strokes on approach in two of the last five. He won two majors in 2024, including the PGA Championship, and has a solid chance to become a two-time winner here.
**Matt Fitzpatrick to win: +2250**

Fitzpatrick may be the best golfer in the world right now. He has three wins in his last five starts, plus a close runner-up at The Players Championship. He ranks fifth on Tour in approach play and has gained strokes on approach in 11 of his last 12 starts. His short game is elite, with gains around the green in eight straight starts. He looks poised to finally break through with a major this season.
**Long Shots and Value Bets**
**Patrick Cantlay: +5300**
{IMAGE_3}
Cantlay offers tremendous value at over 50-1. Despite a mixed major history, his talent is undeniable. He has four straight top-12 finishes, including a T-12 at the Masters after a slow start. His putting has been inconsistent, but he posted his best putting weekend of the year last week at the Truist Championship. He enters with real momentum.
**Robert MacIntyre: +6500**
{IMAGE_4}
Short game is critical at Aronimink, and MacIntyre is one of the world’s best putters. He finished runner-up at the U.S. Open and T-7 at The Open Championship last season. While his recent form has been lackluster (missed cut, T-42, T-60), he tends to elevate his game in big events, as seen with his fourth-place finish at The Players Championship earlier this year.
**Adam Scott: +6800**
{IMAGE_5}
Scott hasn’t won since February 2020, but his ball-striking this season has been elite. He leads the Tour in approach from inside 100 yards, ranks third in total strokes gained on approach, and sits inside the top 10 in several other ball-striking metrics. He already has two top-five finishes this season and brings major championship experience. Putting remains a weakness (90th on Tour), but he gained strokes on the greens last week for the first time in five starts. If he can putt even slightly above average, his iron play could carry him to victory.
