The 2nd golf major of the year gets underway this week with the 2026 PGA Championship emanating from Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania. Rory McIlroy proved his mettle to retain the green jacket in The Masters last month, and is once again among the betting favorites alongside the man who finished runner-up that week, Scottie Scheffler. In fact, Scheffler has finished 2nd in each of his last 3 tournaments, and will be desperate to get over the line this week. Among the favorites is also Cameron Young, who followed up victory in The Players Championship earlier this year with a resounding 6-shot victory in the Cadillac Championship. Let’s break down our best PGA Championship prop bets, featuring picks on Top Englishman, Top LIV Golfer, Top Australian and Top Canadian. You can also find out our golf picks for who wins the PGA Championship this week.
2026 PGA Championship best prop bet: Alex Fitzpatrick Top Englishman (+1100)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Alex Fitzpatrick’s American adventure continued with a 4th-place finish in the Truist Championship on Sunday, and England’s rising star could again feature at the business end on only his 2nd Major championship start. After his DP World Tour breakthrough in India, Fitzpatrick earned a PGA Tour card with success at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside his brother Matt, then demonstrated that he was well up to competing on the US circuit with back-to-back top-10 finishes in Signature Events.
It could be too soon for the Sheffield star to contend for Major honors at Aronimink this week, but he looks a solid option in the top Englishman market. Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick share favouritism, but the former has been unable to make his mark in recent Majors, while the latter had equipment issues when finishing 52nd at Quail Hollow last week. With Tyrrell Hatton hard to weigh up and Justin Rose struggling following his switch to McLaren clubs, this looks like a good opportunity for Alex to continue to outshine his compatriots.
2026 PGA Championship prop bet: Bryson DeChambeau Top LIV Golfer (+260)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing.
Jon Rahm sets the standard among the LIV contingent, all of whom will be under heavy scrutiny this week, but it is Bryson DeChambeau who looks the best bet to be the top LIV representative. The long-driving American, who recovered from the wrist injury sustained in Mexico to finish 3rd in Virginia on Sunday, won the 2020 Rocket Mortgage Classic and the 2024 US Open at Donald Ross-designed courses, so Aronimink could suit his eye.

PGA Championship prop bet: Adam Scott Top Australasian (+250)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Evergreen Adam Scott makes his 100th appearance in a Major – and his 99th consecutive start – in the PGA Championship, and the Queenslander can cap that remarkable feat by claiming top Australasian honors. The 45-year-old has had a consistent season on the PGA Tour, finishing in the top 30 in 8 of his last 9 events and ranking 10th in strokes gained tee-to-green. He was 3rd in the 2011 AT&T National at Aronimink and deserves to be favorite ahead of the talented but unpredictable Min Woo Lee.
PGA Championship prop bet: Sudarshan Yellamaraju Top Canadian (+280)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Sudarshan Yellamaraju has played 99 Majors fewer than Scott, but the debutant looks a contender in the 4-man top Canadian market featuring Corey Conners, Nick Taylor and Taylor Pendrith. Yellamaraju, who was 5th at the Players Championship in March, struck his irons superbly well at the Truist last week, finishing 19th. He is the leading Canadian in the FedEx Cup standings and could prove the best of them at Aronimink.
