Top 10 betting favorites for the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club

The second men’s major championship of the year is on the horizon, as the best players in the world have the sights set on Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.

Defending champion Justin Thomas took down Will Zalatoris in a playoff last season to claim his second Wanamaker trophy at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thomas is among the top-10 betting favorites for the 2023 edition; Zalatoris is out after having back surgery.

Unsurprisingly, Jon Rahm heads the list of favorites.

The Spaniard took home the green jacket at the year’s first major, the Masters, and has won a total of four events on Tour in 2023. Rahm’s best finish at the PGA Championship was a T-4 in 2018.

Here are the top betting favorites for the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
