Here are the latest betting odds for the 2018 edition of the PGA Championship from Bellerive Country Club.

The first three major championships in golf have been nothing but pure excitement and the 100th edition of the PGA Championship, golf’s final major for the final time, is sure to be no different. Playing this year at Bellerive Country Club, which will be hosting its third major in history and a course that shouldn’t play as difficult as some of the others have this season, the stories surrounding the players and not the course itself will be taking center stage as 156 of the world’s best tee it up beginning Thursday in suburban St. Louis.

World number one Dustin Johnson leads the favorites this week at 8-1 odds and that shouldn’t be a surprise. After missing the cut at Carnoustie, he bounced back with a win at the RBC Canadian Open and then finished tied for third this past weekend at the WGC-Bridgestone with a final-round 64.

It is a bit surprising that defending champion and world number two Justin Thomas isn’t right behind DJ in the betting odds but that’s the case here as he sits at 14-1, a little back of two-time PGA Championship winner Rory McIlroy, who is going off at 12-1. Jordan Spieth, who needs just a victory at the PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam is joined by back-to-back U.S. Open Brooks Koepka and 2015 PGA winner Jason Day at 20-1 and Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler, who is still looking for that elusive major, are just behind at 22-1. World number seven Jon Rahm goes into Bellerive at 25-1 and four-time champion Tiger Woods and Tommy Fleetwood come in at 28-1. The Open Championship winner Francesco Molinari and Masters champ Patrick Reed round out the top 13 and 33-1 and 35-1, respectively. It should be a fun week.
