Scottie Scheffler looks to win his fifth major and second PGA Championship in a row this week when he competes at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa. He enters Round 1 on Thursday as the +480 favorite in the 2026 PGA Championship odds from FanDuel. Other favorites include Rory McIlroy (+950), Cameron Young (+1200) and Jon Rahm (+1500).
Before making any 2026 PGA Championship picks, you NEED to see the predictions and best bets from elite golf expert David Bearman.
Bearman joins SportsLine after serving as ESPN’s golf researcher from 2008-11 and as the Deputy Editor of ESPN Chalk from 2019-23, where he authored the weekly golf betting column for that site.
In 2026, he cashed 28 placement bets (top 5/10/20) in the first 11 tournaments, and hit Cam Young outright at the Players Championship. He picked Matt Fitzpatrick at RBC Heritage and Cam Young at Cadillac Championship — both in the SportsLine Discord and in his Betting with Bearman newsletter. He is +18.1 units on the season since joining SportsLine! Anyone following could have seen HUGE returns.
Now, Bearman has been digging into the 2026 PGA Championship field to find the best betting value and just locked in his 2026 PGA Championship best bets to back. We can tell you he’s fading Ludvig Åberg, despite him being among the top-10 favorites.
“Simply put, I don’t trust Aberg with it all on the line on Sunday,” Bearman told SportsLine. “Yet. He may very well win 3-4 majors when all is said and done, but I need him to win the first one on Sunday before I feel comfortable taking him.”
Bearman’s best bets include a player who is higher than 60-1 in the odds and “has one of the best iron games on Tour.” He’s also sprinkling two shocking triple-digit longshots. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see who it is before locking in any 2026 PGA Championship picks!
