Scheffler has leading +385 odds at Draft Kings to win at Aronimink Golf Club as of Wednesday morning. It's the 14th consecutive major in which he will be the favorite or co-favorite, and these are his shortest odds going into a PGA Championship in his career, according to SportsOddsHistory.
Rory McIlroy, coming off a second straight Masters win, is +900, with Jon Rahm (+1400) and Cameron Young (+1475) rounding out the top four.
Scheffler remains a popular straight bet to win the tournament across the sportsbook marketplace, racking up the most tickets and handle at BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook. However, his short odds dictate that he isn't much of a liability for bookmakers, and Caesars lead golf trader Anthony Salleroli said he is not a popular selection to finish top five or top 10 because his odds are remarkably short (-120 and -235, respectively, at DraftKings).
