Scottie Scheffler is the odds-on favorite to win his third Memorial Tournament championship in a row when he takes part in the event at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. He won last year's event by four strokes over fellow American Ben Griffin by four strokes. The tournament, which begins on Thursday, will be played on the par-72, 7,569-yard course. Scheffler enters as the +310 favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook. Others near the top of the odds board include Rory McIlroy (+1200), Ludvig Åberg (+1500), Cameron Young (+1600), Xander Schauffele (+1800) and Russell Henley (+2000).
Before making any 2026 Memorial Tournament picks, you NEED to see the predictions and PGA Memorial Tournament 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 44-37-5 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 Memorial Tournament field to find the best betting value and just locked in his PGA Memorial Tournament best bets to back. We can tell you he's fading Cameron Young at 14-1 at BetMGM.
"We were correct in guessing that Justin Thomas was going to be a very popular selection last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge and I have a feeling Young could be in the majority this week," Kannon said. "He finally cooled off a bit in his last start at the PGA Championship and this particular tournament hasn't ever been his best. In four consecutive appearances since 2022, Young has finished 60-CUT-50-25 at the Memorial, losing nearly a stroke to the field on average. Yes, he is playing at a different level in 2026 but it appears his price has gotten a bit aggressive in my opinion, especially at a place where he has struggled in the past."
Kannon has revealed his best bets, and they include a gigantic longshot of higher than 50-1 whose "record here at the Memorial is excellent." You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your bets!
