Before Betting On PGA Championship Props
Due to the PGA Championship being a huge betting event, there will be a number of interesting markets available to players this year. This major has been staged since 1916, with Brooks Koepka being a dominant force throughout recent history after winning on three previous occasions. However, the props markets enable bets to be made on factors away from finding the winning star.
Michael Block famously scored a hole in one at the PGA Championship last year, sinking the memorable shot in the final round on the 14th hole to cap a memorable showing for the American. However, given the size of the course at Valhalla, it could be a bold claim to suggest that the feat could be emulated this year.
One of the rarest feats in golf majors is going from wire to wire, as first round leaders have struggled to maintain their momentum throughout history. Throughout the history of the major, only three players have been able to sit top of the leaderboard from the opening round until the final day.
Bobby Nichols was the first player to achieve the feat in 1964, before Raymond Floyd emulated the feat in 1982. Interestingly, Hal Sutton emulated the feat of being a wire-to-wire winner of the PGA Championship in the following edition, but he remains the most recent player to land that success.
PGA Championship Props Offshore Odds & Pick
There appears to be little value in the PGA Championship props markets this year. We don’t expect there to be a first wire-to-wire winner of the event since 1983, while we also don’t foresee a hole in one being recorded.
