The 2026 PGA Championship is set to tee off at the historic Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, and the excitement is already building. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler arrives as the man to beat after his commanding five-stroke victory last year over Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, and Davis Riley. Scheffler enters as the +480 favorite on the par-70, 7,394-yard course that promises a stern test for the world's best.
But the field is stacked with talent ready to challenge the crown. Rory McIlroy (+850), Cameron Young (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1500), Xander Schauffele (+1800), and Bryson DeChambeau (+2000) are all poised to make a run. However, before you place any bets, it pays to listen to someone who knows the sport inside out.
Enter Brady Kannon, a seasoned golf betting expert with over three decades of experience. Kannon has called eight major winners since 2013 and nailed six PGA winners in 2025 alone, including a stunning 110-1 longshot pick on Harris English at the Farmers Insurance Open. His recent form is red-hot, with Matt Fitzpatrick (15-1) at the Valspar Championship as an outright winner, and a sharp 42-33-5 record on head-to-head bets since joining SportsLine.
For the 2026 PGA Championship, Kannon has locked in his best bets, prop picks, sleepers, and golfers to avoid. One of his boldest calls? Fading Jon Rahm at 15-1 odds on FanDuel. "The two-time major champion is a top 5 choice on the odds board, but I'm guessing his price will drift higher," Kannon explains. "His off-the-course issues right now can't be helpful for preparing for a major. I felt this was the case at The Masters, and it's only escalated since. The LIV circuit seems to be falling apart, and Rahm's negotiations to return to the DP World Tour have been controversial. None of it has been a good look, and all of it has been a distraction. In seven trips to East Lake for the Tour Championship, he's finished..."
