PGA Championship 2026 Predictions Picks for Punters

2026 PGA Championship Prediction

One player who stands out when looking at our potential 2026 PGA Championship winner is Cameron Young.

Young has already had a phenomenal 2026, and it certainly has the potential to get even better at Aronimink. He has won twice on the PGA Tour already this year, at the Players and the Cadillac Championship, and was tied for the lead after 54 holes at the Masters before finishing 2 behind Rory McIlroy. His form leading into the PGA would suggest that the next logical step for the 29-year-old is a major triumph, so if you are looking for some value sports betting options at this year’s PGA, look no further than Cameron Young.

He is currently available at odds of 13.96 with Tonybet to win his maiden major at Aronimink.

⛳ 2026 PGA Championship Betting Preview & Odds

Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick are the three players we are going to focus on, and we will provide you with their latest PGA Championship odds with a selection of some of the top Irish betting sites available to punters.

1️⃣ Scottie Scheffler

The world’s No. 1-ranked player opened his 2026 season with a win at the American Express, which was the 20th PGA Tour title of his career. He reached that milestone in just 151 starts on tour, becoming the quickest man since Tiger Woods, who did it in 95 starts to reach 20 PGA Tour wins. He has subsequently had 3 runner-up finishes, including one to our pick Cameron Young in the Cadillac and to Rory McIlroy at the Masters this season, as well as two other top 5 finishes, so he heads to Pennsylvania in good form. He is also the defending PGA champion, winning the 2025 title by 5 shots at Quail Hollow.

2️⃣Rory McIlroy

McIlroy surprised many when he won his second consecutive Masters title back in April. That was the 6th major of his career and could free the 37-year-old up for the rest of the year as he goes in search of more major titles to even further enhance his golfing legacy. He has only had 5 starts in the PGA Tour this year with 1 win to his name at the biggest event there is, but he is scheduled to appear at the Truist Championship from May 10th, an event he has won four times in the past. That could give fans an indication of where his form is at heading into the PGA on May 17th.

If you want to bet on Rory winning his second major in a row this season, you can back McIlroy to be the PGA winner at:

Price of 8.00 with DirectionBet

Price of 7.98 with Tonybet

3️⃣ Matt Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick would probably not have been on our list as a potential 2026 PGA Championship winner a few months ago, but what a 2026 the Englishman has had so far. Like our 2026 PGA Championship pick, Cameron Young, he is a multiple winner on this season’s PGA Tour, winning the RBC Heritage, the Valspar and the Zurich Classic with his brother Alex. He also finished 2nd behind Young at the Players Championship, so his game really is in a brilliant place heading into the second major of the year. Fitzpatrick finished T8 in the PGA in 2025, and if you want to bet on him to claim his 2nd major championship at Aronimink, you can back Fitzpatrick to win the PGA Championship at:

Price of 33.00 with DirectionBet

Price of 24.93 with Tonybet

Price of 33.00 with Festivalplay sports
