PGA Championship Golf Tips & Predictions

We have expert betting tips for the PGA Championship this week, which is the second major tournament of the year.

All the big guns are in the field, including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Cameron Young, and the best LIV players are also there, so it’s going to be an amazing tournament at Aronimink Golf Club.

We look at the best PGA Championship picks, including our best bet, best roughie, and top 10.

Best Bet

Cameron Young @ $12.00

Bet Now

Cameron Young is a major winner in waiting, and having already captured two titles this year, the PGA Championship is right there for the taking.

The 2026 Players Championship winner didn’t win last week, but he was right in the thick of the action, and he shot a couple of good rounds on Saturday and Sunday. It’s a good sign heading into this tournament, and it’s why he’s being respected in betting markets.

The American is one of the best players in the world, and the former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year won’t take long to win a major. He’s our top pick to win this week at $12, which is a fair price.

Best Value Bet

Jon Rahm @ $15.00

Bet Now

The LIV golfers have a point to prove this week after being somewhat disappointing at The Masters, barring a couple of players.

Among those who didn’t perform well was Jon Rahm, who is enjoying good form at LIV, and he needs to bring that form to the major level once again. We know he’s capable, as his record suggests, so he deserves another chance.

The Spaniard will have his followers, hence the $15 odds, and it could pay to jump on before those odds shorten.

Best Roughie

Justin Thomas @ $46.00

Bet Now

Justin Thomas showed signs of life last week, and confidence is all he needs to get back into the winners’ enclosure.

He has struggled with form over the last few years, and although he’s not playing his best golf, he loves playing the PGA Championship, so this tournament should bring back good memories for the American.

It would be a popular win for golf fans, and given the $46 odds, we’re happy to include him in our PGA Championship picks this week.

Next Best

Patrick Reed @ $71.00

Bet Now

Underrate Patrick Reed at your peril, and as he showed at Augusta, he shouldn’t be overlooked at the major level.

The former LIV player, who is now playing select events on the DP World Tour, has already won this year, and he always plays his best golf in big tournaments. He finished T12 at the Masters, and he would have finished better if he didn’t misfire in the final round.

We can’t believe the $71 odds for Reed to win, so we recommend including him in all golf picks this week.

Top 10

Viktor Hovland @ $6.00

Bet Now

It hasn’t been a vintage couple of years for Viktor Hovland, but we’re prepared to give him another chance this week.

He is a quality golfer at his best, and he’s another golfer who plays his best at the majors. The 28-year-old finished T2 in 2023 before finishing third in 2024 at the PGA Championship, so course conditions should be right up his alley.

He is an excellent top 10 bet at $6, and we priced him at $4, so punters get value odds.
