You have to go back a few years to find a major championship in which Scottie Scheffler wasn’t the prohibitive betting favorite, and for good reason: The 29-year-old has been a stellar performer since bursting onto the PGA Tour scene in 2020 and was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
Since then, Scheffler has amassed 20 PGA Tour wins and four major championships, and is in his 157th consecutive week at No. 1 in the World – a run that began in May 2023. And in addition to these four major victories, Scheffler has finished in the top 10, an amazing one time by the PGA, an amazing four times by P13.
Needless to say, at this week’s PGA Championship IN Aroniminksecond major championship of the year, the betting landscape hasn’t changed much, with Scheffler topping the list at +450. Did we mention he’s also the reigning champion, with three straight runners-up going into this week?
