PGA Championship Betting & Odds

The PGA Championship is one of golf’s four majors and one of the most exciting tournaments to bet on. As the second major of the year, it brings together the world’s best players, huge crowds and four days of drama where any shot can change everything.

Played each May, just before Memorial Day weekend in the United States, the PGA Championship follows The Masters and sits right in the heart of golf’s major season. With a prize fund of around $18,000,000, iconic courses and a field packed with elite talent, it always delivers high-stakes golf from start to finish.

At BetWright, you’ll find a wide range of PGA Championship betting markets, competitive odds and in-play options to keep you close to the action from the opening tee shot to the final putt.

What is the PGA Championship?

The PGA Championship is one of the four major championships in professional golf, alongside The Masters, the US Open and The Open Championship.

Organised by the PGA of America, the tournament is played at a different prestigious course each year, giving every edition its own unique challenge. Unlike some events, players from the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Japan Golf Tour can all qualify, creating a world-class field.

Winning the PGA Championship is one of the biggest achievements in golf. Champions not only lift the famous Wanamaker Trophy, but also earn entry into the other majors and the Players Championship for the next five years, as well as become eligable to play in future PGA Championships for life.

Popular PGA Championship Betting Markets

Just like with with event available for Golf betting, there are plenty of ways to bet on the PGA Championship, whether you’re backing the favourite or looking for value further down the field.

PGA Championship Winner Outright

This is the most popular market and one of the first many punters look at.

You’re simply choosing the golfer you think will win the tournament and lift the trophy on Sunday evening.

Outright betting is popular before the tournament begins, with odds available well in advance so you can back your pick early.

Top 10 Finish

Picking the outright winner from a field that can reach 156 players is never easy, which is why Top 10 betting is such a popular alternative.

For this market, your chosen player only needs to finish inside the top ten for your bet to win.

It still requires a strong performance but it gives you a little more flexibility compared to backing the outright champion nd is a good choice if you're looking to back an outsider.

Each Way Betting

Each way betting is a popular option for golf majors.

This means your stake is split into two bets, one for your player to win and one for them to finish in the places, usually the top five, top eight or top ten depending on the market.

It can be a smart way to back players with strong chances of contending without needing them to win outright.

First Round Leader

This market focuses only on round one.

You’re betting on which player will finish day one at the top of the leaderboard. It’s a popular option for punters looking for quicker results rather than waiting for the full tournament outcome.

In-Play Betting

Golf is perfect for live betting and the PGA Championship is no exception.

As the tournament unfolds, you can place bets based on current form, leaderboard changes, weather conditions and momentum swings.
