PGA Championship betting guide

The most straightforward bet you can make on the PGA Championship is on the outright winner.

Futures betting odds for the next PGA Championship are posted at Maryland online sportsbooks well in advance. That said, the odds will continually change down the road, depending on weekly results and injury reports.

Apart from the outright winner market, you have plenty of other chances to get involved with PGA Championship betting. They include:

Each way: The each way market is comprised of two bets: one to win and the other to finish inside a specified position in the tournament. It will decrease your variance as you’ll receive a payout if your player wins and finishes in a top number of places. On the flip side, you’ll have to double your stake since you’re placing a two-in-one bet. Also, the payoff will be reduced if your golfer wins outright.
Head-to-head: This bet basically sifts out two golfers from the entire field and lets you pick which one will outperform his opponent (have a lower cumulative score). You can wager on a round-by-round basis or on the entire tournament. Head-to-head bets are usually expressed in a moneyline bet format. For example, the bet could be expressed as Tiger Woods -120 vs. Dustin Johnson +140. Some books will also allow you to bet the spread in a given head-to-head matchup (Woods -1.5 vs. Johnson).
Straight forecasts: This requires bettors to select two entries in a field that will win the tournament and finish as the runner-up—in the correct order. Straight forecasts are one of the most popular forms of parlay bets in golf.
Versus the field: Here, you’re betting that anyone else from the field (other than a specified player) will win the round or tournament. If you pick the “field,” then someone from your selected group of golfers must win for your bet to be successful.
Group betting: The sportsbook creates a matchup pool featuring three or more golfers, and you have to guess which one will have the best group score.
Nationality: This is a bet on the winning player’s home country or region of origin. Alternatively, you can make some nationality bets on the top-performing players from a particular country. For instance, you can place a bet on Bryson DeChambeau being the top American player in the PGA Championship.
Round leader: A bet on which player will top the leaderboard at the end of a specified round.

PGA Championship live odds

Live or in-play betting has boomed in popularity across all sports, including golf. This form of wagering allows bettors to swing into action while the event is unfolding.

As the tournament plays out, the books will release various in-play markets to keep you engaged, some of which can revolve around a single swing of the club. Other options may include:

Which golfer wins ‘x’ round
Totals bets on round scores
How will ‘x’ player perform on the next hole

Depending on how the PGA Championship unfurls, Maryland sports betting sites will constantly update odds, although not as rapidly as with team sports, due to long breaks between rounds. This should give you enough time to look over your picks and address the changing lines appropriately.

To fully capitalize on live golf betting, we recommend you download the dedicated apps that almost all sportsbooks nowadays offer. The odds can change quickly, and the app gives you the fastest way to adjust and bet.

Better still, most sportsbooks also have live streaming coverage of the PGA Championship, so you can watch your favorite golfers square off on the course via your phone or computer.

Prop bets for PGA Championship

Prop betting in golf can include all sorts of miscellaneous statistical milestones that don’t necessarily impact the tournament’s outcome directly. They can be a fun way to lock in bets on individual holes.

Here’s how the prop bet offerings may look:

Will ‘x’ player hit a hole-in-one?
Will there be any holes-in-one during the opening round?
Which player will have the best score on holes 5-8?
Over/under bet on the number of birdies on a specific hole

PGA Championships odds boosts

The second major of the year is a VIP event in the sports betting scene. Most Maryland sportsbook sites will dish out exclusive PGA Championship promos to gain a competitive edge and attract more players. These include bonus sports bets, live bet deals, and odds boosts.

The last type is particularly popular among bettors. Odds boosts allow you to cash in on a golf bet at a much better price. The sportsbooks may remove some of the juice or enhance the odds straight up. Either way, you’ll see bigger profits than you would have otherwise.

Odds boosts are usually based around props or futures markets. For instance, you could come across a Maryland sportsbook promotion that gives you a 20% odds boost on a selected field of golfers to win the PGA Championship. Or you may get an enhanced price for the “X player to Miss the Cut” bet.

Tiger Woods’ odds at PGA Championship

Every time golf fans get involved in GOAT debates, Tiger Woods leads the conversation, and rightfully so. In his prime years (1999-2004; 2005-2010), Tiger was an unstoppable force on tour, winning 13 of his 15 majors.

Tiger Woods won four PGA Championship titles and was a runner-up on three occasions. He claimed his fourth and last Wanamaker Trophy in 2007 with a two-stroke victory over Woody Austin at the Southern Hills Country Club.

Unfortunately for his fellow fans and bettors, Woods likely won’t play in the PGA Championship in the foreseeable future. He’s currently rehabbing from a major car accident in which he sustained career-threatening lower leg injuries.

Worst PGA Championship meltdowns

We’re always expecting great things from top-tier golfers, especially on the biggest stage. But sometimes, even legends have bad days. Sometimes they can’t sink a three-foot putt, or their shot goes haywire. Whatever the reason, the PGA Championship has seen its fair share of chokes. Let’s check out some of the biggest collapses in tournament history:

Jason Dufner in 2011: Dufner was off to a strong start at the 2011 PGA Championship, with a five-stroke lead with only four holes left to play. However, he struggled down the stretch, hitting his tee-shot into the water and triple-bogeying 15.
Mike Reid in 1989: In 1989, Payne Stewart stole the PGA Championship crown after Mike Reid, who was widely known as the “Radar” for his pinpoint driving accuracy, blew up. Reid failed to protect a three-stroke lead with three holes remaining. He three-putted for a double-bogey in the 17th and finished with a 74 in the final round.
Gene Littler in 1977: The two-time major champ suffered a choke of epic proportions at the 1977 PGA Championship. He had a six-stroke lead through 63 holes, but then the unthinkable occurred. He failed miserably on the back nine, bogeying five of the next six holes. Lanny Wadkins ultimately won the title after a sudden-death playoff with Littler.
