After two rounds at the 2026 PGA Championship, no one has separated themselves from the pack, and there are 58 players within six shots of the lead. As a result, Scottie Scheffler, two shots off the lead, remains the favorite at +340, only marginally shorter than the +385 at which he came into the tournament. Cameron Young, a notable public pick and sportsbook liability who is also two shots back, comes in next on the odds board at +970.
Maverick McNealy and Alex Smalley are the tournament's co-leaders at 4 under through two rounds, but the closeness of the field dictates that they still have relatively long +1175 and +1250 odds, respectively. Ludvig Åberg (+1175), Jon Rahm (+1275), Hideki Matsuyama (14-1), Chris Gotterup (14-1), and Min Woo Lee (+1475) all trail Smalley on the leaderboard but have better odds to win the major championship.
Rory McIlroy recovered from a poor Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club that saw him lengthen from +900 coming into the tournament to 92-1 after the first round; after posting 3 under in the second round, the reigning Masters champion is 28-1 to win the PGA Championship.
Jordan Spieth (105-1), Matt Fitzpatrick (125-1) and Rickie Fowler (130-1) were also popular plays for bettors coming into the fray and have lengthened out to long-shot levels.
