Top Contenders and Best Bets for the PGA Championship: Scheffler, McIlroy, Koepka, and More

The PGA Championship is set to tee off at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, with top golfers Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Brooks Koepka entering the tournament in top form. Each of them has won their last start, making them strong contenders for the year’s second major.

Scheffler and McIlroy are the favorites to win the tournament, with Xander Schauffele and Koepka following closely behind on the betting board. However, Jon Rahm is also a strong contender, being the fifth choice at Circa Sports. Golf betting expert Wes Reynolds has identified Rahm as one of his best bets to win the tournament, citing his explosive ball-striking and sharp short game as key strengths.

Reynolds has also highlighted other potential winners, including Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquin Niemann, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau, Akshay Bhatia, and Dean Burmester. Each of these players has unique strengths that could give them an edge at Valhalla Golf Club.

In addition to individual player bets, oddsmaker Jeff Sherman has recommended matchup bets for the tournament. He favors McIlroy over Schauffele and Mickelson over Woods in tournament matchups. Sherman has also backed long shots Sahith Theegala and Tyrrell Hatton to win, noting their strong performances this season.

As the PGA Championship approaches, the competition is heating up, with top players and long shots alike vying for the prestigious title. Stay tuned for all the action and updates from Valhalla Golf Club.
