PGA Championship Betting

The PGA Championship is one of golf’s most prestigious majors, bringing together the strongest field in the men’s game to compete for the iconic Wanamaker Trophy. Bet on the next champion with our in-depth PGA Championship betting markets and expert insights. 

Why Bet on the PGA Championship

The PGA Championship attracts golf bettors worldwide thanks to its elite field, dramatic finishes, and rich history. As the only major exclusively for professional golfers, it consistently features the sport’s biggest stars battling under intense pressure for one of golf’s most coveted prizes. 

With a full field of over 150 professionals competing across four rounds, the event offers thrilling leaderboard swings and countless betting opportunities from the opening tee shot to the final putt. 

Our Most Popular PGA Championship Odds

At Betano, our markets cover every angle of the tournament, from outright winner predictions to specialised bets that let you focus on specific players or matchups. Here are your betting options ahead of this year’s major: 

Outright Winner 

Back any golfer to lift the Wanamaker Trophy. Each-way options are also available, letting you profit if your selection finishes among the top places. 

First Round Leader 

Predict who will sit atop the leaderboard after day one, ideal if you’ve spotted a fast starter capable of firing a low opening round. 

Make The Cut 

Traditionally, the cutline at the PGA Championship has been around the top 70 players. After the first two rounds, only players above the cutline advance to the weekend. Spotting value picks to survive the cut can be a smart strategy. 

Group Betting 

Like other Majors, golfers play their rounds in groups of between two and four. With our group betting market, instead of backing a player to beat the entire field, you can wager on them to outperform the small group they’re paired with, reducing risk. 

Before Placing a Bet on the PGA Championship

Where is the 2026 PGA Championship held?

The 2026 PGA Championship will be played at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, USA, from May 14th to 17th. Designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, Aronimink is regarded as one of America’s premier championship venues, known for its fast greens, strategic bunkering, and demanding approach shots. 

Unlike the Masters, which is always held at the same venue, the PGA Championship rotates between elite courses across the United States, meaning course characteristics change each year and can significantly influence betting strategy. 

What’s the format of the PGA Championship?

The PGA Championship follows the standard major championship structure, a 72-hole stroke-play tournament contested over four days, with one round played each day. 

After the first two rounds, a cut line is applied. Only the top 70 players and ties advance to the third and fourth rounds, while the rest of the field is eliminated. The event typically features a full field of around 156 players, making it one of the strongest and deepest competitions in golf. 

Are there any betting tips or strategies for the PGA Championship?

At demanding tracks, players who excel in driving accuracy, iron play, and approach consistency often hold an advantage.  

Because major championships feature elite fields and tougher setups, consistency tends to matter more than aggressive play. Golfers who combine strong recent form with major-tournament experience frequently offer the best outright betting value. 

Who are the recent PGA Championship winners?

Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 PGA Championship by five strokes to secure his third major title. The American produced a dominant performance to underline his status as one of the standout players of his generation, and he’ll be among the favourites again when the tournament tees off this year. 

In 2024, Xander Schauffele claimed his maiden major title with a composed display under pressure. The year before, Brooks Koepka lifted the Wanamaker Trophy for the third time in his career, continuing his reputation as one of golf’s top performers on the biggest stages. 

Justin Thomas won the 2022 edition after a dramatic playoff victory, while Phil Mickelson made history in 2021 by becoming the oldest major champion ever at the age of 50. 

When planning your PGA Championship betting strategy, reviewing past champions can provide valuable insight, as this major often rewards players with experience and proven pedigree in elite competition. That said, shocks are never far away, and with such a strong field assembled each year, first-time winners can emerge to claim the title.
