With some of the top golfers in the world competing at the 2023 PGA Championship, the competition will be a tough one. Needless to say, the 2023 Masters winner Jon Rahm and last year’s Masters winner Scottie Scheffler are the top favorite to win this year.

Both golfers, at the top of their form, enter the tournament with 15-2 odds. According to Sportsline, World No.3 Rory McIlroy is the third strongest, with 14-1 odds.

Jordan Spieth (18-1) and last year’s PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas (16-1) round of some of the top players at the 2023 PGA Championship.

There are, however, doubts about Jordan Spieth’s performance, with Sportsline predicting a possible ‘stumble’, leading him out of the top 10. On the other hand, long shot Patrick Cantlay (22-1) could pull off a surprise win.
