PGA Championship picks 2026: Our 13 best bets to win at Aronimink Golf Club

Cause for concern: His play around the green, where he's losing strokes for the season, has been uncharacteristically sloppy.

3. Cameron Young (16/1)

2270961916

Kevin C. Cox

Reason to pick: It's already been a career year for Young with victories at the Players and Doral, and a close call at the Masters. Winning a major is the next logical step.

Cause for concern: Maybe if there's not a church conveniently located? Struggling to think of anything else for this guy who has been firing on all cylinders this year.

4. Tommy Fleetwood (25/1)

2271813443

Kevin C. Cox

Reason to pick: If you had been told you could wager on Tommy Fleetwood in this event at this number after last year's FedEx Cup, you would have run to the betting window.

Cause for concern: He's still never won a PGA Tour event with a field of more than 30 players.

5. Rory McIlroy (6.5/1)

2020761579

Harry How

Reason to pick: He's Rory F-ing McIlroy, the two-time defending Masters champion and the only player in the field with the chance of pulling off the calendar Grand Slam this year.

Cause for concern: We haven't seen him in action since slipping the green jacket on for a second time.

6. Scottie Scheffler (3.5/1)

2271489068

Kevin C. Cox

Reason to pick: The World No. 1 has finished runner-up in three consecutive events and won this event by five shots last year.

Cause for concern: He also got arrested in the middle of this event the year before.

7. Justin Rose (35/1)

2273899580

Orlando Ramirez

Reason to pick: Had a two-shot lead on the back nine on Sunday at the Masters and has great vibes at Aronomink, where he won the 2010 AT&T National.

Cause for concern: Despite all the good golf he's played in the past couple years, Rose switched equipment. And to a new player in the golf club industry, McLaren. And his first week using those new irons at Doral didn't go well.

8. Bryson DeChambeau (10/1)

2271514444

Hector Vivas

Reason to pick: He's won two LIV events in 2026 and he's been the runner-up in this event each of the past two years.

Cause for concern: Aronimink doesn't quite fit the same profile as those past two PGA sites. Plus, he's been dealing with a lot around his future with all the recent LIV news.

9. Jon Rahm (12/1)

1980594532

Manuel Velasquez

Reason to pick: He's the LIV standings leader and he finished T-8 at last year's PGA.

Cause for concern: Like with Bryson, there's a lot up in the air regarding his golf future.

10. Collin Morikawa (22/1)

2270587145

Andrew Redington

Reason to pick: He's put up five top-10 finishes in the past five PGA Tour events that he's finished.

Cause for concern: The one that he didn't complete was that WD from the Players with a back injury that's still clearly bothering him.

11. Ludvig Aberg (20/1)

2266253469

Icon Sportswire

Reason to pick: He's 10th in the FedEx Cup standings and fourth in strokes gained/total.

Cause for concern: Closing out tournaments (Players, Valero) has been an issue.

12. Brooks Koepka (33/1)

2209786390

Harry How

Reason to pick: He's a three-time winner of the Wanamaker Trophy.

Cause for concern: He's outside the top 60 in the FedEx Cup standings and he just announced an equipment switch.

13. Patrick Reed (30/1)

2270267185

Jared C. Tilton

Reason to pick: After winning twice on the DP World Tour earlier in the year, Reed finished T-12 at the Masters.

Cause for concern: Reed hasn't finished that high at the PGA since 2017, when he notched his lone top 10 (a T-2 at Quail Hollow) in the event.
