The new one 2026 PGA Tour Season continues this week at the American Express 2026 in California, and the world No. 1 is making his season debut as the betting favorite. Here’s everything you need to know about the American Express odds and other betting favorites to start the week.
American Express Betting Favorites
In this week’s tournament, the second new event PGA Tour season, several Tour stars will make their season debuts. But far and away, the most obvious is Scottie Scheffler.
The World No. 1 has won Player of the Year awards four times, dominating the game unlike anyone since. Tiger Woods at its peak. As a result, Scheffler’s betting odds are often lopsided.
Look no further than this week.
Scheffler comes to American Express as a massive betting favorite with +280 odds to win.
The next player on the list is Scheffler’s Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin. Griffin won three times in 2025 and was nominated for Player of the Year. But Scheffler’s dominance has been so great that there is a huge gap between him and Griffin.
Griffin’s winning odds are +1800.
Rounding out the top 5 in betting odds are three players with multiple PGA Tour wins: Ludwig Aberg, Patrick Cantlay AND Russell Henley. They are tied at +2200 odds to win.
