TULSA, OKLAHOMA – MAY 16: Tiger Woods of the United States plays a shot during a practice round … [+]
The Wanamaker Trophy is on the line this week with the PGA Championship returning to Southern Hills for the first time in 15 years.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma course will play host to all the top golfers, including reigning Masters champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, 15-time major champion Tiger Woods and the many other superstars who make up this loaded field.
Scheffler is unsurprisingly one of the co-favorites at the 2022 PGA Championship following his dominant performance at Augusta National. The 25-year-old will try to become the first player to win back-to-back majors in the same season since Jordan Spieth accomplished the feat in 2015.
Here’s a look at his odds plus some of the other top contenders at the 2022 PGA Championship

- Jon Rahm (+1200)
- Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
- Rory McIlroy (+1500)
- Jordan Spieth (+1600)
- Justin Thomas (+1600)
- Collin Morikawa (+1800)
- Patrick Cantlay (+1900)
- Dustin Johnson (+1900)
- Cameron Smith (+2000)
- Viktor Hovland (+2400)
- Xander Schauffele (+2600)
- Shane Lowry (+2900)
- Hideki Matsuyama (+3200)
- Will Zalatoris (+3200)
- Matthew Fitzpatrick (+4100)
- Brooks Koepka (+4100)
- Joaquin Niemann (+4100)
- Sam Burns (+4800)
At +1200, Scheffler has the same odds of hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy as Jon Rahm, the 2021 U.S. Open champion. Rahm has had a fantastic year and is heads to Southern Hills red hot following a victory at the Mexico Open. It marked Rahm’s fourth top-10 finish since 2022 began and shows he is in peak form following a disappointing No. 27 finish at the Masters.
A strong trio of former major champions rounds out the top-five golfers with the best odds of winning the 2022 PGA Championship.
Rory McIlroy has the third-shortest odds at Southern Hills, going off at +1500 to capture his third career PGA Championship. The 33-year-old won at Kiawah Island in 2012 and Valhalla in 2014, which marked the last season that the Irishman claimed a major. McIlroy will try to break through with a fifth-career major after finishing second at the Masters last month.
Jordan Spieth has a chance to cap off a career Grand Slam if he can finally secure a PGA Championship win this week. The three-time major champion came up just short at Whistling Straits in 2015—the year he won both the Masters and U.S. Open—but has just one top-10 finish at this event since.
TULSA, OKLAHOMA – MAY 18: Dustin Johnson of the United States and Jordan Spieth of the United States … [+]
Spieth is +1600 to add the Wanamaker Trophy to his collection on Sunday, odds that tie him with 2017 PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas. Thomas’ victory at Quail Hollow remains the lone major of his career thus far. The 29-year-old followed that up with a T-6 finish the following year, but he didn’t play in the 2019 PGA Championship, finished T-37 in 2020 and missed the cut last season.
Collin Morikawa (+1800), Patrick Cantlay (+1900), Dustin Johnson (+1900), Cameron Smith (+2000) and Viktor Hovland (+2400) round out the top-10 best odds in the field at the 2022 PGA Championship.
Woods may be one of, if not the main draw in the field this year, but the 46-year-old has long +50000 odds of winning at Southern Hills. He’s still working his way back from a devastating 2021 car accident, making just his second start and first since a No. 47 finish at the Masters.
Despite the lack of reps, Woods deserves respect as a serious contender for the 2022 PGA Championship. He still holds the course record here after shooting a major-record tying 63 in the second round of the 2007 PGA Championship, the last time this major was held in Tulsa.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the full list of golfers in the field plus their groupings and tee times for Thursday’s first round.
