The 2026 PGA Championship is finally here, teeing off Thursday, May 14, at 6:45 a.m. ET from the historic Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Golf fans are buzzing as defending champion Scottie Scheffler looks to repeat after his dominant five-stroke victory at Quail Hollow last year. Scheffler enters as the +480 favorite on FanDuel, but the field is stacked with talent eager to claim the Wanamaker Trophy.

Rory McIlroy, fresh off back-to-back Masters wins, sits at +950 odds, while rising star Cameron Young (+1200) is poised to make noise. Other top contenders include Jon Rahm (+1500), Ludvig Aberg (+1600), Xander Schauffele (+1800), and a pair of +2200 sleepers in Matt Fitzpatrick and Bryson DeChambeau. But don't let the odds fool you—this tournament is wide open.

For those building their DFS lineups or making One and Done picks, the SportsLine projection model—built by DFS pro Mike McClure—has simulated the PGA Championship 10,000 times. This model has an incredible track record, nailing 17 majors in recent years, including the 2026 Masters (its fifth straight correct prediction) and last year's PGA Championship and Open Championship. Following its picks has been a game-changer for bettors.

One of the biggest surprises from the simulation? Bryson DeChambeau, despite finishing runner-up in this event the past two years, is projected to barely crack the top 10. The model points to his missed cut at the 2026 Masters and a recent withdrawal from LIV Golf Mexico City due to wrist discomfort as red flags. With three straight top-five finishes at the PGA Championship, DeChambeau's slide would be a major upset.

Whether you're looking for betting edges, DFS sleepers, or just want to see who might hoist the trophy, the SportsLine projected leaderboard is a must-check before the first tee shot. Head over now to see which long shots could make a run and which favorites might stumble at Aronimink.
