SAN FRANCISCO – The PGA Championship Tournament at TPC Harding Park is underway as many golfers look to position themselves above the cut line.
The field of golfers participating in this year's PGA Championship is deep and that allows bettors to score big on longshot golfers this early in the tournament.
After one round of play, the top five golfers with the shortest odds to win the PGA Championship are currently being led by Brooks Koepka (+450), who has won the tournament in back-to-back years.
Odds to Win PGA Championship
- Brooks Koepka +450
- Xander Schauffele +750
- Jason Day +900
- Bryson DeChambeau +1200
- Tiger Woods +1800
Outside of these five, there are numerous options for bettors who want to test their luck on golfers with long-shot odds, and with the depth in the field betting this way could help bettors hedge their bets and maximize their potential profits.
Justin Thomas (+4000)
Of all the golfers with longshot odds, Justin Thomas is the best candidate to finish atop the leaderboard.
Thomas is in first place of the FedExCup Standings and has the most wins as well as top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season.
Thomas ended the first round at +1 but bettors can expect him to bounce back and make a run in the second round. Thomas won the 2017 PGA Championship and shouldn’t be counted out of contention for this major despite his poor showing in the first round.
The +4000 odds on Thomas should be taken immediately as it's rare to find a golfer with such lucrative odds available while having the type of year he is.

Webb Simpson (+10000)
Webb Simpson was another victim of a weak showing in the first round as he finished barely above the cut line at +1.
However, he’s still worth a small wager at +10000 odds simply because of his performance on the tour this season. Simpson is second in the FedExCup Standings and has two PGA Tour wins this season along with six top-10 finishes.
Simpson will likely make the cut and will have to use Saturday to climb the leaderboard but he’s a longshot for a reason.
Roll the dice on his +10000 odds as he’ll have a better second round.
Collin Morikawa (+5000)
Collin Morikawa is another golfer whose longshot odds should be considered. Morikawa is currently in the middle of the pack tied in 32nd place after shooting -1 in the first round.
He’s in prime position to make a jump into the top-15 going into the weekend with a solid second round today. Morikawa at +5000 odds is a good value bet because of his solid track record this season with one victory and five top-10 finishes.
There aren’t any other golfers at +5000 odds that are as worthy of the risk being taken than over Morikawa which should give bettors the extra confidence needed to place the bet.
The PGA Championship won’t conclude until Sunday, so continue to the online betting sites for the latest odds. Watching the event is just as easy, as the PGA Championship will be broadcasted by ESPN and CBS.
