Scottie Scheffler will look to win his second PGA Championship in a row when he takes part in the 2026 event at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa.

The tournament, which begins on Thursday, May 14, will be played on the par-70, 7,394-yard course. Scheffler enters as the +350 favorite. Also favored are Rory McIlroy (+650), Jon Rahm (+1200), DeChambeau (+1200), Cameron Young (+1400) and Xander Schauffele (+1500).

Before making any 2026 PGA Championship picks, you NEED to see the predictions and PGA Championship best bets from elite golf expert Brady Kannon.

Kannon is an elite golfing handicapper with more than 30 years of experience in the industry. He has called eight major winners since 2013 and hit six PGA winners, including 110-1 longshot Harris English at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2025. He also hit on Matt Fitzpatrick (15-1) this year for an outright winner. Additionally, he's 42-33-5 on head-to-head bets since joining SportsLine. Anyone who followed his lead could have been WAY UP!

Now, Kannon has been digging into the 2026 PGA Championship field to find the best betting value and just locked in his PGA Championship best bets to back. We can tell you he's fading Jon Rahm at 12-1 at FanDuel.

"The two-time major champion is a top 5 choice on the odds board to win the PGA Championship but I am guessing his price will drift higher," Kannon said. "His off the golf course issues right now can't be helpful in trying to prepare for a major championship. I felt this was the case at The Masters and it seems to have even escalated since then. And what I am referring to is the LIV circuit seemingly falling apart and Rahm experiencing controversy in his negotiations of returning to the DP World Tour. 

"None of it has been a good look for Rahm and all of it has been a distraction. Furthermore, in seven trips to East Lake for the Tour Championship, he's finished top 5 twice but otherwise has been below average. He finished 24th here at Aronimink in 2018, missed the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in 2024 with injury, missed the cut in 2016 in his only attempt at the Wyndham Championship, and has never played Detroit Golf Club." 

Kannon has revealed his best bet, and it's a longshot who comes at a "bargain" price!
