PGA Championship Betting is hot with the upcoming tournament at Bethpage Black Course on May 16-19.
Tiger Woods is coming from winning the green jacket at the 2019 Masters, and he's definitely one of the favorite ones to get the victory this time.
PGA Championship Betting at Bethpage Black Course: The Favorites
But, when it comes to PGA Championship Betting, he's not the only one with chances of getting the win at Bethpage Black Course. So, here's a recount of the favorites:
Tiger Woods: 8 to 1
Reason to pick: After 11 years without winning anything at all, Tiger Woods finally got another win at the recent 2019 Masters. And he was also the winner of the 2002 US Open at Bethpage Black, so this is a course he's definitely familiarized with. So, after getting a new green jacket, many are already talking about a Grand Slam for Woods.
Cause for concern: Now, Tiger skipped the Wells Fargo tournament, so people are questioning his current rhythm for this competition. But despite this negative fact, he remains a favorite, and many oddsmakers are sticking with him...
Brooks Koepka: 12 to 1
Reason to pick: Koepka is the current PGA champion, and he's definitely the favorite besides Tiger. In fact, no one is actually playing better than the Florida native.
Cause for concern: Now, there's always the questions surrounding his putting, as he's currently ranked 148th in strokes gained. Still, the chances are definitely good for Koepka.
Dustin Johnson 12 to 1
Reason to pick: Now, when it comes to PGA Championship Betting, placing a wager on the World No. 1 is never a bad idea.
Cause for concern: Although he managed to make it into the final mix at the Masters, other recent performances can make you question if DJ is really a good candidate to put your money on.
Rory McIlroy 12 to 1
Reason to pick: Apart from a low performance at the Masters, McIlroy has been playing very well, and has had a great season start.
Cause for concern: Rory McIlroy is 30 and hasn't won any Majors’ tourneys in a while, so this is a serious reason to avoid placing your bets on him.
Francesco Molinari 20 to 1
Reason to pick: The Italian has been close to winning at the last three Masters Majors, and has also been playing impressive mistake-free stretches of golf.
Cause for concern: With that said, there are long courses, and then there's Bethpage, in wet conditions! And these factors apparently doesn't favor Molinari at all.
Xander Schauffele 25 to 1
Reason to pick: Schauffele has been adding to an already growing positive reputation with six top finishes during his last 8 majors’ appearances.
Cause for concern: Just like with Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia, to be a Majors’ contender during your 20's really doesn't guarantee that you're going to come up with the win.
So, try to study these players a little bit more, so that you can make the most out of your PGA Championship Betting.
