With just one week until the final major of the season, oddsmakers have named the favorites for this year's edition of the PGA Championship.

Not surprising to anyone, Dustin Johnson enters with the best odds at 8-1, alongside 2014 and two-time winner Rory McIlroy, according to Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

Johnson is having an incredible season leading the Fedex Cup standings thanks to 11 top-10 finishes, including wins at the U.S. Open and Bridgestone Invitational.

McIlroy, however, is another story. Despite the optimism, the 27-year-old sits 33rd in the Fedex Cup standings and remains without a finish better than third place.

However, with victories at two of the past four editions of the tournament, he surely can't be ruled out.

Last year's winner Jason Day joined Johnson and McIlroy as co-favorites one week ago, but dropped to 9-1 after a 14th-place finish at the Canadian Open this weekend.

Here are the top 10 favorites heading into next week:

Name Odds
Rory McIlroy 8/1
Dustin Johnson 8/1
Jason Day 9/1
Jordan Spieth 12/1
Henrik Stenson 15/1
Phil Mickelson 20/1
Sergio Garcia 25/1
Adam Scott 30/1
Justin Rose 30/1
Rickie Fowler 30/1
Bubba Watson 30/1
