The world’s best golfers are deep in battle as Aronimink Golf Club hosts the 2026 PGA Championship. Reigning champion Scottie Scheffler is the favourite with Sky Bet, priced at 7/4 to claim the outright title.
Although Scheffler has managed just one victory so far this calendar year – at The American Express in January – the four-time major winner has been remarkably consistent without quite getting over the line.Â
He has finished second in each of his last three starts, including a narrow one-shot defeat at The Masters, where he was edged out by Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy, meanwhile, has fallen from 8/1 second favourite to 50/1 outsider after an opening round score of 74.
Favourites revealed: Sky Bet’s key markets for the 2026 PGA Championship after Round One
Fresh from his victory at Augusta, the Northern Irishman also finished runner-up at the Genesis Invitational earlier in 2026.Â
He finished tied 47th at three-over-par last year and has a mountain to climb to challenge the leaders.Â
Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm, Min Woo Lee and Cameron Young complete the group of leading contenders, priced at 10/1, 12/1, 14/1 and 22/1 respectively.Â
Young impressed with a tied-third finish at The Masters before going on to win the Miami Championship earlier this month, while Schauffele also secured a top-ten finish at Augusta.
For those looking further down the market, England’s Matt Fitzpatrick offers strong value at 35/1.
Fitzpatrick has been in exceptional form of late, capturing victories at the Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage and Zurich Classic this year, alongside a runner-up finish at The Players Championship.
