PGA Championship Odds

Betting on the PGA Championship

When it comes to the PGA Championship, you can access both outright and in-play betting options as the competition develops throughout the month of May.

As we approach the start of the competition, you can begin looking at the outright betting options available for the tournament, including which golfer is likely to finish as the winner. Outright PGA Championship betting options don't stop there. You can also discover odds for finishing positions, allowing you to bet on whether a player will finish in the top 10 etc.

Aside from the final winner, you could also consider PGA Championship odds for the First-Round leader. This bet is decided by correctly predicting who will lead the competition by the end of the first round.

Live in-play Golf betting provides a completely different approach if you're looking at betting on the PGA Championship. These bet types are typically more short-term focused and allow you to place bets live as you spectate the game.

For live PGA Championship odds, you could consider options such as who will score better per hole and betting on the specific score that they might hit on that hole. For example, will they hit a birdie or par on their upcoming hole?

Finding the latest PGA Championship Odds

Throughout each day, the performances on the course will start to reflect who is performing well and those struggling to find their feet at the bottom of the leaderboard. With this being the case, the betting odds for the PGA Championship will likely be updated to reflect these events.

For example, if golfer A is steaming ahead at the top of the table, looking set for the trophy, their odds of winning the competition will drop to reflect the likelihood of this occurring.

Staying on top of the results and performances throughout the PGA Championship can help you to find the best odds as these betting markets are updated. You will also be able to understand why some odds might be lower when compared to others.

At Bet UK, we offer all the latest US PGA odds, including both the option to bet live in-play or outright ahead of the competition. So, whether you're considering an outright bet before the final round or you're looking to bet live on the result of the upcoming hole, you can discover all the available options online.
