This week, the US PGA Championship makes its comeback to Valhalla, featuring Scheffler at 4/1, teeing up for the first time in three weeks, and McIlroy at 7/1, aiming for a third consecutive victory.

Rory McIlroy is arriving at Valhalla in peak form, fresh off impressive consecutive victories at the Zurich Classic alongside Shane Lowry and the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow. The former world number 1 is seeking to convert this sparkling form into his first major win in a decade at the PGA Championship, where he is considered one of the top contenders with odds of 7/1.

As the Official Betting Partner of the PGA Tour in the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia, our Trading Team has been hard at work setting odds and offers for this highly anticipated tournament.

Despite not competing in any events for over three weeks, Masters Champion Scottie Scheffler comes into the PGA Championship as the favorite with odds of 4/1. His break from golf allowed him to welcome his first child, but his stellar performance this year keeps him at the forefront of discussions.

Tiger Woods expressed confidence in Scheffler’s return, stating, “If he putts great, he blows away fields. If he has a bad putting week, he contends.” High praise from a golf legend.

Interestingly, bet365 customers have shown the most support for 2023 champion Brooks Koepka, with 14.6% of outright bets placed on him at odds of 14/1. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy follow closely behind at 13.8% and 13.0% of outright bets, respectively.

Should Scheffler triumph in Kentucky, it would solidify his position as the favorite for the remaining Majors of the year. It would also mark a significant milestone, putting him halfway to a Grand Slam of Golf Majors in a calendar year, a feat not achieved since the Masters era. Scheffler is currently priced at 22/1 to win all four majors this year.

McIlroy, at 7/1, is aiming to extend his recent winning streak at Valhalla, the site of his last Major triumph ten years ago in this very competition. The course has undergone significant changes since then, with an extension of 150 yards, now measuring over 7600 yards. These alterations are expected to favor McIlroy, known for his exceptional driving distance and leading in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee during his recent Wells Fargo Championship win.

Regardless of your pick, bet365 offers a wide range of Markets, Specials, and Bet Boosts for the Tournament, ensuring an exciting betting experience for golf fans.
