Scottie Scheffler is the defending PGA Championship winner after he prevailed by five strokes at Quail Hollow last year. The latest 2026 PGA Championship odds via FanDuel list Scheffler as the +390 favorite (risk $100 to win $390), with back-to-back Masters winner Rory McIlroy (+950) and Cameron Young (+1200) among the other 2026 PGA Championship contenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jon Rahm (+1500), Ludvig Aberg (+1800), Xander Schauffele (+1800) and Bryson DeChambeau (+2000) are among the other PGA Championship 2026 favorites.

Anyone who has followed its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/betting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sports betting<\/a> picks could have seen massive returns on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/betting\/news\/best-betting-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">betting sites<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that the 2026 PGA Championship field locked in, the model simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/2026-pga-championship-odds-picks-proven-golf-model-reveals-projected-leaderboard-surprising-predictions\/#ttag=04202026_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_model_PGAChampionship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard<\/a>, which you can use for PGA picks, one and done contests or PGA DFS lineups.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2026 PGA Championship predictions\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One major surprise the model is calling for at the PGA Championship 2026: It projects that DeChambeau barely cracks the top 10 despite the fact that he was a runner-up in this event the past two years and is one of the favorites at +2000. DeChambeau missed the cut at the 2026 Masters and then had to withdraw from LIV Golf Mexico City with wrist discomfort in April. He has recorded three straight top-five finishes at the PGA Championship, but has also missed the cut twice and finished outside the top 30 two other times at this event.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/2026-pga-championship-odds-picks-proven-golf-model-reveals-projected-leaderboard-surprising-predictions\/#ttag=04202026_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_model_PGAChampionship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">See who else to fade here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another surprise: The model projects a strong showing from Tommy Fleetwood, who has longer odds at +2500. The 2025 Tour Championship winner is still looking for his first major win. He&#8217;s in strong form this season, however, recording five top-10 finishes. He was contending for another top-10 at the Masters this year before a fourth-round 76 dropped him down the leaderboard. Fleetwood has strong metrics off the tee this year, but has struggled with his putting, so if he can have a better weekend on the greens, he has a great shot to be a contender.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/2026-pga-championship-odds-picks-proven-golf-model-reveals-projected-leaderboard-surprising-predictions\/#ttag=04202026_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_model_PGAChampionship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">See who else to pick here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New to sports trading?
