2018 PGA The PGA Championship Preview and Picks
Ready to bet on this week’s 2018 The PGA Championship betting odds? The 4th and final major is set to tee off this weekend at Bellerive CC in St. Louis. With all the stars coming out for this event it should make an exctiing weekend of golf.
2018 The Bridgestone Invitational

- Format: 72 holes – Stroke Play
- Purse: $10,500,000
- Defending Champion: Justin Thomas
- TV Coverage: Golf Channel, CBS
- Updated Sportsbook Bonuses For Today
With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 The PGA Championship Favorites:
Dustin Johnson +800
Dustin Johnson is the favorite to win it all this year which isn’t surprising because he has had himself a nice little season this year.
He has three wins this year, and he really should have had four in the US Open if it wasn’t for a really bad third round.
It’s very odd that a favorite wins this tournament, but even at this price Johnson is very hard to ignore this year.

Last weekend he struggled for most of the Bridgestone but he figured it out and Sunday and still finished near the top.
If he wants to win this weekend it’s going to take a complete four days though.
Rory McIlroy +1200
Rory McIlroy had some troubles on Sunday at the Bridgestone or he might have been able to come away with a win. There was one big positive that McIlroy can take away from last weekend, his putting.
At times his putting has been less than idea this year but he finally seemed to figure it out at the Bridgestone. If he can put this weekend the rest of his game is fine and he will have a chance.
Not so sure I like him this weekend but he still is at least worth a look.
2018 The PGA Championship Contenders:
Justin Thomas +1400
On paper it’s hard to ignore the value Justin Thomas brings to the table this weekend. He won this event last year and comes into this year off a win in his last event, the Bridgestone.
After some struggles the last couple of months he seems to finally be putting everything together and it finally resulted in another win.
Tony Finau +4000
Tony Finau flies a bit under the radar but he is hard to ignore at championships. He is the only guy to finish in the top ten in each of the first three majors.
It only seems to be a mtter of time before he breaks through and grabs that win and at +4000 it’s hard to ignore his value.

2018 The PGA Championship Sleeper (+4000 or higher):
Bubba Watson +5000
Bubba Watson has been a bit hit or miss this season but he seems to always play his best golf when the starts are brightest.
2018 The PGA Championship Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Justin Thomas to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He will win for the second week in a row.
