Scottie Scheffler towers over the PGA Championship field with a +2.87 SG Total (best in the field by 0.64 strokes) and our model projects a 13.8% win probability โ€” more than double the implied odds at +624. Bryson DeChambeau presents perhaps the most compelling narrative value play: his SG Total of +1.40 ranks only 14th in the field, yet his extraordinary course history (T2 in 2025, 2nd in 2024, T4 in 2023) and +0.109 course fit adjustment make him dangerously underpriced at +3241. Cameron Young quietly profiles as a top-tier contender at +1607 with the third-best SG Total in the field (+2.13) and a strong +0.118 course fit, yet he draws a fraction of the attention of players ranked below him in our model.
Scheffler Is the Clear Alpha Play
Scottie Scheffler leads the field in SG Total (+2.87), SG Approach (#1 at +1.08), and SG Putting (#2 at +0.55) โ€” a rare combination of elite ball-striking and putting. His model win probability of 13.8% at +624 makes him the strongest edge in the field, and his PGA Championship history (1st, T8, T2 over the last three years) is immaculate.
Scottie Scheffler
DeChambeau's History Screams Live Longshot
At +3241, Bryson DeChambeau carries the best three-year PGA Championship history in the field (T2-2nd-T4) and a +0.109 course fit adjustment that ranks among the highest. His 3.0% model win probability against an implied 0.03% at the current price represents roughly 100x value on paper โ€” the kind of asymmetric bet you build a card around.
Bryson DeChambeau
Cameron Young: Stealth Top-3 Profile
Cameron Young's +2.13 SG Total ranks third in the entire 156-player field, yet his +1607 price implies far less respect than Jon Rahm (+1576) who sits just one spot above him in the model. Young's +0.118 course fit is the second-highest among the top 10, and our model gives him a 5.9% win probability โ€” nearly identical to Rahm's 6.0%.
Cameron Young Jon Rahm
Rory's Course Fit Leads the Favorites
Rory McIlroy boasts the highest course fit adjustment among any player in the top 10 at +0.158, significantly above Scheffler (+0.098) and Schauffele (+0.096). At +1224 with a 7.5% model win probability and the fourth-best SG Total (+2.11), McIlroy is the top course-specific overlay among chalk plays despite a soft T47 finish in 2025.
Rory McIlroy
Aberg's Missed Cuts Are a Red Flag
Ludvig Aberg carries an elite +1.90 SG Total (fifth in the field), but his PGA Championship history is alarming: missed cuts in both 2024 and 2025. At +2311 with a 4.2% model probability, the raw talent is undeniable, but bettors should tread carefully when a player hasn't proven he can survive the weekend at this major.
Ludvig Aberg
Fitzpatrick Surging Into Major Form
Matt Fitzpatrick posted a T8 at the 2025 PGA Championship and carries a +1.80 SG Total (seventh in the field) at +3135 odds. Our model assigns him a 3.1% win probability, and his methodical game โ€” built on precision iron play โ€” should thrive this week, though his +0.042 course fit is modest compared to other contenders.
Matt Fitzpatrick
Cantlay Headlines a Loaded Longshot Tier
Patrick Cantlay at +5425 leads our longshot group with an 18.2% top-10 probability and a +1.51 SG Total. His PGA Championship track record includes a T9 in 2023, and at this price, a top-5 or top-10 wager offers significant expected value for a player with clear top-tier skill metrics.
Patrick Cantlay
Morikawa's Irons Make Him Dangerous
Collin Morikawa ranks third in the field in SG Approach at +0.90 โ€” trailing only Scheffler and Rahm โ€” yet sits at +7563 odds. As a former PGA Championship winner who thrives when iron play is at a premium, Morikawa at this price is a high-upside tournament wager worth a small-unit sprinkle.
Collin Morikawa
Schauffele's Defending Title at Fair Price
Xander Schauffele won the 2024 PGA Championship and carries a solid +1.86 SG Total with elite ball-striking (SG Approach +0.86, 4th in field). At +1845 with a 5.1% model win probability, the defending champion is fairly priced โ€” not a screaming value, but a reliable anchor for any outright portfolio.
Xander Schauffele
Min Woo Lee: Best Risk-Reward Longshot
Min Woo Lee at +5471 offers a 17.2% top-10 probability and a +1.50 SG Total that ranks just behind Patrick Cantlay among longshots. His well-rounded game and aggressive style make him a prime candidate for each-way or top-10 placement bets in a field where bombs-and-wedges players can separate from the pack.

FAVORITE
Three straight runner-up finishes โ€” Masters, Heritage, Miami โ€” and the model still has him at 13.81% to win, more than double the next guy. His +2.87 SG Total leads the field and the course history reads 1-T8-T2 over the last three years. At +624 he's the obvious play, but the real edge is the -115 Top 10 number, which the model's 53.4% backs cleanly. Lock the Top 10, sweat the win.

He won the Masters last month and the market has him at +1224 like nothing happened. The course fit adjustment of +0.158 is the largest in this tier, and his +0.94 SG OTT pairs with a venue that historically rewards length off the tee. Course history is solid (T47-T12-T7) but not elite, which is why the price drifted. At a 7.55% model win rate against an implied 7.5%, he's roughly fair โ€” but the Top 5 at +292 is where the value lives.

One competitive start since the Masters (T38) and OWGR has slipped to #20, yet the underlying numbers are still elite: +2.23 SG Total, +0.91 Approach, and a 5.96% model win probability that beats his +1576 implied odds by a healthy margin. The 2025 T8 here is the only course history data point that matters โ€” the T50 and MC are noise from a different swing era. He's the cleanest mispricing in the contender tier. Play the win number.

Two wins in his last nine starts โ€” Miami and THE PLAYERS โ€” plus a T3 at the Masters sandwiched in between. The +0.72 OTT and +0.118 course fit adjustment are both top-tier for this venue, and the model's 5.86% win number is essentially tied with Rahm. Course history is the red flag (T47-T63-MC) but the form arc is undeniable. At +1607 with this trajectory, the Top 10 at +196 is the play.

The 2024 PGA champion is back at the venue where he broke through, and the +0.042 course history adjustment quietly leads this tier. His Players Championship 3rd and Valspar T4 in March showed the iron play is humming (+0.86 SG Approach), though the Truist T60 muddies the picture. Model gives him 5.14% to win against a +1845 implied 5.1% โ€” basically fair. The defending major champ angle is real, but there's no edge in the win price.

Six straight top-10s, including a T8 at Truist last week and a T4 at Hilton Head โ€” this is the hottest non-Scheffler stretch in the field. The wrinkle: he's missed the cut here in both prior appearances, and the course history adjustment is blank for a reason. Model still loves him at 4.15% to win versus +2311 implied, driven by a +0.78 SG Approach and +0.099 fit grade. The form trumps the history. Bet the Top 10 at +260.

Back-to-back wins at the Zurich and Heritage, a Valspar title in March, and a runner-up at THE PLAYERS โ€” this is a player in the middle of a career-best stretch, now ranked OWGR #4. The catch is brutal PGA Championship history: MC-MC the last two years and only a single T8 to point to. The +0.76 Approach and +0.4 Around Green numbers travel anywhere, and the 3.09% model win rate beats the +3135 implied. Form over fit. Play him.

The course history is absurd โ€” T2, 2nd, T4 in the last three PGAs, the best three-year run of anyone in the field at this event. He also missed the cut at the Masters in his only 2026 start shown, and the +1.4 SG Total is the weakest of any contender here. The model splits the difference at 2.99% versus +3241 implied, which is roughly fair. The +0.109 course fit and history say bet him; the form says don't. Top 10 at +351 is the compromise.

World #6 priced as a value play at +4432 is the kind of mispricing that wins seasons. The full SG profile is balanced and elite โ€” +0.58 Approach, +0.51 OTT, +0.29 putting โ€” and the course history reads T18-T26-T41 across the last three PGAs. A T5 at Truist last week and a T8 at THE PLAYERS confirm the form is real, and the 20.5% top-10 model number says this number should be closer to +3500. Bet it.

Quietly stacking results again: T10 at Truist, T8 at Hilton Head, T12 at Augusta, T7 at Valspar.

The course fit number is what jumps out โ€” +0.111, one of the better marks in the field โ€” and he's coming off a T14 at Truist with a T3 in Houston and T6 at Bay Hill earlier this spring. The SG profile is well-rounded without a true elite category, which is why the +5471 price feels honest rather than exploitable. Better as a top-20 play (31.2%) than a winner.

OWGR #10 at +6290 looks juicy on the surface until you dig in: the SG Total of +1.23 is good, not great, and the only PGA Championship start on his rรฉsumรฉ is a missed cut in 2024. The course fit adjustment of +0.154 is the best in this group and the recent run (T14, T38, T25, T24, T6) is steady without being threatening. Pass on the outright, consider the top-20 at 27.9%.

The +0.76 SG Approach is the second-best number in this entire batch, and at 45 years old Scott is still hitting his irons like it's 2013. T4 in Miami and a T19 at last year's PGA show the major-week ceiling is intact, though the -0.07 putting mark is the obvious tax. At +7217 he's a reasonable top-20 dart (28.5%) but the outright requires the flat-stick to cooperate for four days, which is asking a lot.

The +0.35 putting and +0.41 approach combo is the best balanced profile he's shown in years, and he's back inside OWGR top 40. The catch: career PGA Championship history at this venue is MC-T63-MC, and the +0.014 course history adjustment barely moves the needle. Top-10 ticket at +577 is the spot, not the outright.

VALUE
Best putter in this batch by a mile at +0.63 SG, and the T7 at Augusta proves the major-week game is intact. The concern is the approach number โ€” just +0.23, which is pedestrian for a PGA Championship contender, and the irons need to show up at this level of test. The +0.108 fit number is encouraging and the +7235 price is fair given a 1.36% win equity. Lean top-20 over outright.

VALUE
Two-time major champion with a T4 at this event in 2024 and a T7 at Augusta last month โ€” Morikawa's major-week pedigree is a different conversation than the +7563 price suggests. The +0.9 SG Approach leads this group and pairs with +0.5 off the tee, giving him the ball-striking profile that wins PGAs. The putter (-0.02) is the only thing holding him back from being priced 30 spots higher. At this number, he's a value play.

T8 here in 2025 is the only made cut in three tries at this event, so the course history sell is thin despite the recent finish. What's intriguing is the +1.51 SG Total backed by a T4 in Miami and a 3rd at Hilton Head in April โ€” the game is sharp, just not specifically tailored to this venue. The -0.069 course fit adjustment confirms the model's skepticism. At +7795, it's a fade for me.

He won at Valero in April and just posted T5 at Truist โ€” that's the profile of a player whose number should be shorter than +8153. OWGR #8 with +0.82 SG Approach and a recent victory is exactly the type the market sleeps on at a major. The 2023 MC and T37 last year here are the drag, but his current ball-striking form is materially better than those visits. Worth a small ticket for top-20 at +27.5% implied.

T2 at this event in 2023 and 3rd in 2024 โ€” Hovland's PGA Championship resume is genuinely elite, and the +0.01 course fit adjustment confirms the venue suits him. The problem is the form: T31, T38, T42, T18 in his last four, with the SG Approach down to +0.61. He's the rare longshot where the history screams value but the current trajectory says wait.

T3 at the Masters last month is the headline, and the +0.33 SG Around Green plus +0.28 putting give him the short game to survive a major setup. Two missed cuts in three tries at this event is the obvious red flag, and the -0.067 course fit adjustment isn't doing him any favors. OWGR #9 at +8351 is a fair price, not a bargain โ€” the Augusta finish already got baked in. Pass on the outright, consider top-20.

Runner-up at Valero and 4th at THE PLAYERS in his last six starts โ€” there's a major-week ceiling here, and the +0.044 course fit adjustment is the second-best in this batch. The +0.54 SG Putting leads the group, which matters on slick major greens. The concern is the +0.07 SG Approach, which is well below the rest of this tier and a tough profile to win a PGA with.

Seven straight made cuts with finishes between T13 and T37 paint him as a steady top-30 type, not a winner. At +9409 the outright is a pass, but top-20 at +25.2% has merit.

Five-time major winner, three-time PGA champion, and the defending logic says you can never fully fade him in this event โ€” he won here in 2023 and has the +0.52 SG Approach to suggest the ball-striking is back.

T3 at the Masters last month is the only recent data point we have, and it was a genuine contention-level performance from a player whose +0.93 SG Total and +0.50 SG Approach travel to any venue.

At +10909 with an 11.2% top-10 number, this is a top-20 play (22.7%) more than a trophy bet โ€” the temperament still works against him in majors.

The defending Ryder Cup captain has quietly logged three straight made cuts at this event โ€” T8 in 2025, T18 in 2024, T29 in 2023 โ€” and the +0.049 course fit adjustment confirms the eye test. At +13414 with a 0.74% model win number and a 10.2% top-10, the price isn't egregious but it's not screaming value either. Recent form (T19 at Truist, T12 at Heritage, T21 Masters) is steady without being threatening. Worth a top-20 sprinkle at +21000 implied, not a winner ticket.

VALUE
The LIV import has the best course fit adjustment in this batch at +0.144, and the +0.54 SG Off the Tee leads the group by a healthy margin. Problem: there's zero recent PGA Tour form to verify, his -0.05 SG Approach is a red flag at a major, and prior course history is MC/T60. At +13661 you're paying for raw distance and model projection, not proof. Hard pass on the win, marginal interest in a placement sprinkle.

T12 at the Masters last month is a reminder that Reed still shows up in majors, and the +0.47 SG Approach is the second-best mark in this entire batch. He's logged a T18 here in 2023 and a T53 in 2024, so the course doesn't scare him. The 70% make-cut projection is the highest in this group, and at +13693 with a 23% top-20 number, he's a defensible top-20 play. Win equity is thin but the placement math works.

Riding one of the hottest stretches in this batch โ€” runner-up at the Zurich, T7 in Miami, T17 at Truist last week โ€” Smalley is playing the best golf of his career at exactly the wrong price point. The +0.46 SG Approach plus +0.31 off the tee is a legit major-week profile, and the T28/T23 course history shows he can survive the test. At +14323 the win number (0.69%) is light, but the +1029 top-10 is where the value lives. Top-20 ticket all day.

The +0.59 SG Approach is the best mark in this entire batch and one of the best in the field, period. The catch: back-to-back missed cuts at this event in 2024 and 2025, which is why a top-15 OWGR player is sitting at +15943. Recent form is mixed (T4 Miami, T8 Players, but T63 Truist last week and an MC at Valero). The iron play justifies a top-10 swing at +1034 even if the course history says fade the outright.

The +0.43 SG Putting leads this batch, the 68.2% make-cut is the second-highest in the group, and T4 at Heritage last month confirms the game is sharp.

The +0.47 SG Putting is elite and the +0.074 course fit adjustment is the second-strongest in this batch, but the rรฉsumรฉ is thin โ€” an MC here in 2025 is the only major data point, and recent form (T52 Truist, T65 Miami, T33 Heritage) is trending the wrong direction. The T5 at Players in March is the lone spike. At +17291 with a 0.57% win projection, the model isn't buying it either. Fade the outright, maybe nibble a top-30.

Won the Truist Championship last week and followed a T2 at the Zurich and T10 at Valero โ€” that's three top-10s in his last five starts including a victory.

At +17495 you're betting the heater carries into his first PGA, which is a real ask โ€” but the top-20 at 18.4% has actual juice. Placement play, not an outright.

API winner in March and a T13 at THE PLAYERS โ€” when Bhatia's iron play shows up (+0.42 SG Approach), he's one of the more dangerous young players in the field. The problem is two straight missed cuts at this championship and a Masters MC last month suggest majors aren't yet his thing. The +0.07 course-fit adjustment helps the case marginally. At +18305 the outright is a stretch; the top-10 at 8.7% is the more honest play.

LONGSHOT
The +0.046 course-fit adjustment is one of the better marks in this longshot pool, and the +0.46 SG Off-the-Tee gives him the length profile majors increasingly demand. Problem: the irons (+0.26) and flat (-0.01) are pedestrian for a guy you'd need to gain 8-10 strokes to win a PGA. A T41 here in 2025 as a rookie was respectable, and at +25651 he's a defensible top-20 dart, but the win number is theoretical.

Alex Fitzpatrickโ–ผ
USA - OWGR #83
LONGSHOT
Won the Zurich, finished 4th at the Truist, T9 in Miami before that โ€” Fitzpatrick is on the heater of his career and nobody in betting markets has noticed. The +0.96 SG Total is elite for a +26101 longshot, the +0.43 SG Approach travels to any venue, and the T8 at this PGA in 2025 means he's already proven he can navigate a major setup. This is the longshot of the week.

Ryan Gerardโ–ผ
USA - OWGR #36
LONGSHOT
Best iron player in this batch at +0.58 SG Approach, and a T8 at last year's PGA proves the skill set scales to major venues. The recent form has cooled though โ€” T65 at the Truist, T30 in Miami, a March MC at Houston โ€” and the -0.05 putter is a structural problem at a major where putting separates winners from T20s. At +27937, the top-20 number (15.3%) is where the value lives, not the outright.

Wyndham Clarkโ–ผ
USA - OWGR #71
LONGSHOT
Former U.S. Open champion priced at +29603 tells you everything about how far the perception has fallen โ€” two missed cuts at this event in 2023 and 2024, plus a T50 last year, and the iron play has flatlined at +0.28. The +0.084 course-fit adjustment is the best in this batch and the only reason to look twice. Until he proves the major game is back, this is a fade at the outright number with maybe a small top-20 sprinkle.

Corey Connersโ–ผ
USA - OWGR #50
LONGSHOT
Three straight top-26s at the PGA Championship (T12-T26-T19 from 2023-25) make Conners one of the most reliable major performers nobody talks about. The +0.42 SG Approach is the calling card, but the -0.07 course-fit adjustment is a real concern this year and the putter (-0.01) remains the ceiling-killer it's always been. At +30051 the top-20 ticket (13.6% model equity) is the only sensible bet โ€” the win price is a mirage.

Keith Mitchellโ–ผ
USA - OWGR #109
LONGSHOT
The +0.56 SG Off-the-Tee is genuinely elite โ€” top-tier bomber profile that travels to any major venue โ€” but Mitchell has missed the cut at this event in both 2024 and 2025 and the -0.12 putter is the reason why. OWGR of #109 also screams the model is rating him higher than reality. At +30203 there's a top-20 case if he catches a hot week with the flat, but the history at this tournament is a hard fade signal.
