Pick rationale

Analysis & key factors

The second major of the 2026 golf season is set for Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania this week. All eyes will be on leading FedEx Cup stars such as Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, but as with every major on the PGA Tour calendar, there are interesting alternative betting markets available. You can find out standout PGA Championship picks for a top 10 finish this weekend here.

PGA Championship Picks: Top 10 Finish

Collin Morikawa (+400)

We liked the chances of Collin Morikawa to win The Masters last month, and his form this season is reliable enough to suggest another bold showing in Pennsylvania this weekend.

The American was T7 at Augusta, and he has already won on the PGA Tour this season, which is a notable trend when considering the leading chances at the second major of the season. The fifth-ranked player in the world has bounced back to his best this season, and his record in majors is staggeringly impressive.

The 29-year-old has made the cut in all six of his previous appearances at the PGA Championship, with his best showing coming in 2020 when winning the first of his two majors. Has since finished in the top ten on two of his previous five appearances.

Justin Rose (+600)

It is constantly remarkable that Justin Rose is overlooked in the betting for the majors, despite his excellent record in the biggest events on the calendar.

The Englishman was well in contention at last month’s Masters, eventually finishing T3 and just two shots off the lead. His form has dipped since Augusta, finishing outside of the top 30 at the Miami Championship and Truist Championship.

However, Rose is constantly a player who is able to flick a switch and rediscover his best game when it really matters. The Englishman’s record at the PGA Championship deserves respect, finishing in the top ten in four of the last six events.

Rickie Fowler (+500)

One of the stories to follow this weekend will center around Rickie Fowler. The American will be playing in his 56th major, as he looks for the elusive victory.

It could be argued that he has never been in better form coming into a major championship, having finished in the top ten on his last three starts, including a T2 at the recent Truist Championship when making an electric charge in the final round, going six-under.

Fowler has made the cut in 12 of his 16 appearances at the PGA Championship, finishing in the top ten on three occasions since 2014. This could be his year to go close.
