LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It’s been 10 years since Rory McIlroy won the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club. McIlroy has +800 odds at USA online sportsbooks to win again at Valhalla and snap his 10-year dry spell without a major championship victory.

McIlroy won the Wells Fargo Championship over the weekend for the fourth time in his career, the only player to win it more than twice. His +800 odds are well worth a bet on the PGA Championship coming into Valhalla Golf Club with plenty of confidence, which happens to be the site of his last major victory exactly 10 years ago.

Scheffler, Koepka Biggest Threats To Ruin Rory’s Moment

Of course, claiming victory at Valhalla won’t come easy for McIlroy, who has to get past notorious major championship winners like Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Kopeka. Scheffler is the consensus betting favorite at Kentucky online sportsbooks with +450 odds to win the 2024 PGA Championship.

The only thing that stopped Scheffler from winning last week is the birth of his son, but the baby watch is now over for the World No. 1. Scheffler looks to continue his historic run at Valhalla after finishing with four wins and a runner-up in his last five events.

Rory and Scottie are the clear top two heading into the PGA Championship, but you can never count on Brooks Koepka at a major championship. Koepka has +1400 odds at online golf sportsbooks to hoist the Wannamaker Trophy for a fourth time, marking his sixth career major championship victory.

The defending champion enters Valhalla after a first-place finish at LIV Golf Singapore. Koepka shot 15-under 198 for the three-round competition, beating out fellow PGA Championship competitor Cameron Smith by two strokes.
