At the top of the PGA Championship odds, we see Jon Rahm who is +1200 along with Scottie Scheffler who is also right there. This makes sense as they are the top two golfers in the sport heading into this event. Neither of these two guys are the most backed golfer though.
Coming in with the most amount of bets this week, is Jordan Spieth who finds himself at +1800. Here's a look at the five most backed golfers heading into the second major of the season.

Jordan Spieth struggled at the Masters this year missing the cut. He would need a massive bounce-back performance here at the PGA Championship. It's an event that Spieth has yet to win but he has finished second (2015) and third (2019) somewhat recently. The last two years were struggles though as he went tied for 30th and tied for 71st the two years prior.
Spieth has been playing good golf since the Masters though. He won the RBC Heritage in April and just this past week he finished second in the AT&T Byron Nelson. If he shoots like he has the last two times out, he'll be in great shape.
