Elite Field at 2020 PGA Championship Features Top Betting Favorites And Many Contenders

PGA Championship Betting Favorites at TPC Harding Park Draws 95 of top 100 players

The first major of 2020 is the PGA Championship, which plays at a public course for just the fourth time. The venue at TPC Harding Park has been hardened with much narrower fairways (ave. 23 yards) and thicker rough. A premium on accuracy from the tee and total driving stats will be a start as you handicap the strongest field in golf with 95 of the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Rankings ready to shoot for the Wannamaker Trophy. The top bettting favorites are below and include 2-time defending champion Brooks Koepka and PGA Championship winners Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy. Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm round out the top-5 favorite with each shooting for their first major title.

I’ll update this page and add another post with picks and information you can bet on. But check out my full initial tournament preview at TheLines, which has more PGA Championship odds on top players, key stats to target and more information you can bet on for your major preparation.
