Brooks Koepka entered the week as the favorite to win the PGA Championship, and he's maintained that status despite trailing leader Haotong Li by two shots.

The two-time defending champion is priced at +400 to erase his deficit and become the first player to win three straight PGA Championships since 1927. He shot 2-under on Friday while battling a tight hip and receiving treatment several times.

Li isn't garnering much respect from oddsmakers, even with his two-shot edge. He's priced at +1400, giving him the sixth-shortest odds to win.

Daniel Berger, Jason Day, and Tommy Fleetwood are all at +900 as part of a six-way tie for second.

Here's the top of the betting board:

Player Odds To Par
Brooks Koepka +450 -6
Daniel Berger +900 -6
Jason Day +900 -6
Tommy Fleetwood +900 -6
Justin Rose +1100 -6
Haotong Li +1400 -8
Dustin Johnson +1600 -5
Xander Schauffele +1600 -4
Paul Casey +2800 -5
Brendon Todd +3300 -5

Bryson DeChambeau (2-under) and Rory McIlroy (1-under) are both +4000 to come from behind to win.

If you think Tiger Woods can erase an eight-shot hole to take his 16th major championship, betting on him would lead to a handsome return. Tiger's odds are +10000 to pull off the miracle comeback.
