Koepka remains favorite to win PGA Championship
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.
