2026 PGA Championship Pickswise Expert Predictions

Winner PickBest Bet
C. Young to win PGA Championship(+1550)

This is an all-round test, with the winning score likely to hover somewhere around -10, and it should prove ideal for arguably the most in-form golfer on the planet. Cameron Young’s PGA Tour breakthrough came at another Donald Ross course, Sedgefield Country Club, in last year’s Wyndham Championship. He then placed 4th on another Ross track, East Lake Golf Club, in the Tour Championship before starring as the USA’s best player in the Ryder Cup.

Since then, the New Yorker has gone from strength to strength, winning the Players Championship, finishing 3rd at the Masters – where he looked the most likely winner through 5 holes of Sunday’s final round – then waltzing to a 6-shot win in the Cadillac Championship on his penultimate start. Young was not at his best in the final round of the Truist, finishing 10th, but he has been striking the ball superbly for months now, and the next step for the 29-year-old will be to win a Major, having already served his apprenticeship at the top level with 7 top-10 finishes.

Sunday’s performance has helped keep him at a double-figure price and, on current form, it is difficult to see him failing to at least finish in the top 10.

Winner Pick
B. Koepka to win PGA Championship(+4500)

Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm lead the LIV Golf contingent, and DeChambeau is of particular interest given his 2 Donald Ross wins, including the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No.2, but he struggled at Augusta and will be under media scrutiny, with rumors swirling about his future on the LIV Tour.

Former LIV man Brooks Koepka does not have that distraction, and Aronimink looks an ideal opportunity for him to draw level with McIlroy by winning a 6th Major and a fourth PGA Championship. Koepka’s most recent Major win came in the 2023 PGA at another Ross venue, Oak Hill, and recent signs have been positive, with the Floridian finishing 12th at the Masters and 11th at the Myrtle Beach Classic last week.

He will need to tidy things up on the greens, but his iron play has been magnificent since he returned to the PGA Tour – he leads the Tour in strokes-gained approach – and he has course experience to call upon, having finished 19th in the BMW at Aronimink.

Winner Pick
R. Fowler to win PGA Championship(+7000)

Rickie Fowler has form figures of 8-9-2 from his last 3 appearances, all of them Signature Events, and he is also worth including in our PGA Championship predictions.

The Californian was a runner-up at Pinehurst No.2 in 2014, was 13th in the 2011 AT&T National and 8th in the 2018 BMW, and his last PGA Tour win came at the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club, another Ross venue, in 2023.
