McIlroy is ranked seventh in the world by the Official World Golf Rankings. Conners is ranked 31st, Fitzpatrick is 25th, and Finau is 18th.
In other words, not only is McIlroy the only competitor with odds below +2000, he’s also the only top ten golfer in the tournament.

Finau bears special mention as a golfer who finished second in the Mexico Open last week, which was the best result he’s had all season.
That result catapulted him from being ranked 25th in the world to being ranked 18th, where he sits now.
Still, the fundamentals of this field are unchanged as far as the online sportsbooks are concerned – McIlroy is the only one of the PGA’s true elite to compete in the field.
Golf betting fans would be well served to shop lines on this event. Caesars Sportsbook featured McIlroy sitting at +700, while Bovada has him at +900, notably more profitable.
