PGA Championship Odds: Options to Consider this Weekend

The 2023 PGA Championship, which is being held on the Oak Hill Course in Pittsford, New York, is almost upon us, which means that it’s time to start talking about the potential winners. We are in a bit of a different world now in golf, with the players split between the PGA Tour and the recently formed LIV Tour. It’s a contentious time in the sport, but all of that will be set aside when the players tee off on Thursday, as the players who left to join LIV will be allowed to play in this event, as well as in all the other majors. We will have a breakdown of the PGA Championship betting favorites coming your way soon, but for now, we are going to look at some dark horses who might make an impact this weekend.

PGA Championship Betting Update: Dark Horses and Players to Keep an Eye On

When: May 18-21
Where: Oak Hill East Course
TV / Streaming: ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN+
Purse: $15,000,000

Adam Scott

Betting Pick: +7500

This has not been a tournament that Scott has had much success at, missing the cut in each of his last 2 appearances. That might be enough to put some people off, but let’s take a look at what he has done of late. He finished up T5 at the Wells Fargo tournament, which he followed up with a T8 at the TPC Craig Ranch. While this event has not been a favorite, I think the Oak Hill Course actually suits his style of play. He is definitely a longshot to win it all, but a top 10, or maybe even a top 5, might not be a bad bet.

Si Woo Kim

Betting Pick: +12000

Yes, we are digging a little deeper to try and find some value plays here, and again, it is worth noting that these are not necessarily players we like to win, but those who might stick around near the top of the leaderboard all weekend. Kim is an interesting proposition in that he does not rely on the long ball, but rather supreme accuracy on the fairway. His putting has let him down at times, but he was in good form with the putter last weekend with a T2 finish at the TPC Craig Ranch event.

Rickie Fowler

Betting Pick: +6000

Fowler is still looking for his first win of the season, as well as his first major, and while he is certainly a longshot here, he might be worth a look in regards a top 10 finish. While he has yet to win this season, he has only missed the cut once in the 14 tournaments that he has taken part in. He has been no worse than 17th in 5 straight events, including a T13 at the Players Championship. Definitely worth a look as a top 10 finisher.

Taylor Moore

Betting Pick: +16000

After a bit of an up and down start to the season, it appears as though Taylor Moore is rounding into form. He picked up the win at the Valspar tournament in March, made the cut at The Masters, and has made 3 more straight cuts since then, including a T4 in New Orleans a couple of weeks back. Moore appears to be in the groove at the moment and definitely has to be seen as a potential top 10 finisher at very good odds.

Previous Betting News

The 2023 PGA Championship is here, and the top golfers from around the world make their way to Oak Hill Country Club outside of Rochester, New York, to fight for the Wanamaker Trophy and earn the title of major champion. The 105th edition of the four-day event begins with the first round on Thursday, May 18th, and concludes on Sunday, May 21st.

The second major of the season returns to the East Course at Oak Hill Country Club for the fourth time in PGA Championship history. Justin Thomas is the defending champion after a dramatic Sunday final round that led to his second Wanamaker Trophy.

The 156-man field is made up of the world’s best golfers, along with 20 spots designated for club professionals from around the United States.

Let’s dive into our favorite dark horses and players to watch out for this week PGA Championship lines that should be of good value for your next golf bets.

PGA Championship Betting Update: Dark Horses and Players to Keep an Eye On

Tours: PGA Tour | European Tour | Japan Golf Tour
When: May 18–21, 2023
Where: Oak Hill Country Club | Pittsford, New York
Par / Length: 70 / 7,394 yards (6,761 m)

Dark Horses

Tony Finau (+2200)
Finau has already won twice this season and has finished T31 or better in 14-straight events. The 33-year-old is searching for his first major and this week could be it. Finau has had success at this tournament in the past, with three top-10s in eight starts.

Tyrell Hatton (+3500)
Not a name typically thrown around in major tournament conversations, but Hatton fits the billing of a dark horse. If you look at Hatton’s recent play, it is notable that the 31-year-old has strung together back-to-back top-5 finishes. A pair of T10s in 2016 and ‘18, along with a T13 last year, shows he can play in this major.

Rickie Fowler (+6000)
The golf world would love nothing more than to see Fowler lock up his first major title. Fowler’s game is trending in the right direction, with five consecutive finishes of T17 or better. He has been close here before, finishing T19 the last time the PGA Championship was played at Oak Hill in 2013.

Players to Watch

Jon Rahm (+750)
One of the top two favorites, it is hard not to look at Rahm’s game and be confident that he could win back-to-back majors. The No. 1 ranked player in the world is at the top of his game with four wins already this season. Rahm’s best finish here was a T4 in 2018.

Justin Thomas (+3000)
Not a lot of excitement around the defending champion this week. Thomas hasn’t won since his win a year ago, and the 30-year-old has only a pair of top-10 finishes this season. The two-time PGA Championship winner has played just twice since missing the cut at the Masters, but a T25 and T14 showing tells us the game is close.

Dustin Johnson (+3500)
Johnson picked up his second LIV Golf League victory last week and is an intriguing player to watch this week. DJ’s last PGA Tour victory was the 2020 Masters played in the fall, but the two-time major winner has been close to hoisting the Wanamaker recently with a solo second in 2019 and T2 in 2020.
