Schauffele has never captured a major tournament title and now holds the best odds on the board to win the 2024 PGA Championship. His best performances in a major thus far came in 2018, when he finished second in The Open Championship, and in 2019, when he finished second at the Masters.
Scottie Scheffler, the winner of the 2024 Masters, is one of the players tied at four under after the first round of the PGA Championship. The current PGA odds place Scottie third overall, and will award 5-to-1 payouts if he wins.

Scheffler has yet to add a PGA Championship win to his resume, but two notable winners are a part of the field – Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
Tiger won the PGA Championship in 1999, 2000, 2006, and 2007. He posted a +1 in the first round and tees off at 2:59 PM today. While the odds suggest he has no real shot of winning, his moneyline of +100000 will payout at 1000-to-1 if he does.
Phil walked off the course yesterday with a respectable +3, giving himself a decent chance to make the cut if he can perform well today. Mickelson won the PGA Championship in 2005 and 2021, and holds an astronomical moneyline of +250000 to win on Sunday.
