Value Selections For The PGA Championship This Summer

The sporting world has been shaken by the cancellation of many of the biggest events that were due to take place this year. However, golf fans would have breathed a sigh of relief when it was revealed that the PGA Championship would still be going ahead but at a later date. The first major of the season is now expected to take place over the week of the 3rd August.

Rory McIlroy is the heavy favourite for the PGA Championship this year. The Northern Irishman hasn’t won a major for four years and will be hoping to dethrone the reigning champion Brooks Koepka, who is also among the favourites. However, there could be value elsewhere in the market for gamblers.

Gary Woodland

Gary Woodland would be an interesting bet for those looking for each-way value. The majority of sportsbooks will allow ten places, and that would suit this selection perfectly. Woodland will be valued at around 50/1, but has saved some of his best performances for the PGA Championship.

He has finished eighth and ninth in the last two editions of this competition, with Woodland among six players tied for eighth in 2019. He shocked the world in 2019 by winning the U.S. Open, which illustrates that he does have form on the major stage.

Xander Schauffele

Xander Schauffele is currently in the highest ranking of his career, and his major form is improving year-on-year. He hasn’t yet been able to leave his mark on the PGA Championship, with his best appearance in the major coming last year as he finished in a tie for 16th.

However, his form in the other majors will ensure that he is a player that gamblers will be keeping a very close eye on. He finished second at the Masters last year, while he also finished second at The Open in 2018. A major success could be on the cards for the American, and with odds of around 25/1, gamblers will not be hesitant to place an each-way bet on the 26-year-old.

Justin Thomas

While Justin Thomas isn’t considered a long shot by any stretch of the imagination, his odds would suggest that there could be value in this selection for gamblers. Last season he was consistent, and he finished in the top ten on five occasions out of the eight events that he played in. So far this season, he is leading the PGA Money List after accumulating over $4 million in prize money. Over the past 12 months, he has won by the CJ Cup and Sentry Tournament of Champions.

However, there is a feeling that placing a bet on Thomas does come at a huge gamble as he can be inconsistent. That has been shown in the Genesis Invitational and the Sony Open as he missed the cut in both of those events. However, the former PGA Championship winner will still have a chance, and that means that he will be a popular pick at odds of around 15/1.
