See top groupings for Rounds 1 and 2 at 2024 PGA Championship

The pairings for the first two rounds at the PGA Championship this weekend in Louisville were revealed on Tuesday.

Below, find when the 10 golfers with the best odds of winning the second major of the year tee off.

All odds provided by ESPN BET as of Tuesday, May 14 at 4 p.m. ET.

1. Scottie Scheffler (+375)

Partners: Wyndham Clark (+4000), Brian Harman (+15000) | 2:13 p.m. ET (Thursday, No. 1) • 8:48 a.m. ET (Friday, No. 10)

Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer, begins his quest for a second major and fifth win overall in 2024 with a late tee time on Thursday. Clark has four PGA Tour top-10 finishes this year, including consecutive runner-up finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and THE PLAYERS Championship, but he also missed the cut with a seven-over-par at the Masters. The 2023 Open winner Harman failed to make the cut at last year's PGA Championship and has only two top-10 finishes in 2024.

2. Rory McIlroy (+700)

Partners: Dustin Johnson (+7500), Justin Rose (+35000) | 8:15 a.m. ET (Thursday, No. 10) • 1:40 p.m. ET (Friday, No. 1)

The four-time major champion McIlroy is peaking as he enters the PGA Championship at Valhalla, which is where he won his last major in 2014. McIlroy came in first in his last two tournaments — the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and Wells Fargo Championship. Johnson has one win on the LIV Golf circuit this year, but tied for 55th at last year's PGA Championship. Since winning the Covid-19-delayed 2020 Masters, the former world No. 1 golfer has more missed cuts at the majors (five) than he's logged top-10 finishes (three). Rose has missed his last three cuts at majors after a ninth-place finish at the 2023 PGA Championship.

T-3. Xander Schauffele (+1400)

Partners: Ludvig Aberg (+2000),  Justin Thomas (+4000) | 7:53 a.m. ET (Thursday, No. 10) • 1:18 p.m. ET (Friday, No. 1)

Schauffele enters the PGA Championship tied with for the third-best odds of winning the tournament and is coming off one of his best performances this year, a second-place finish at the Wells Fargo Championship with a 12-under-par. Aberg, 24, is arguably the best golfer under 25 and is due for his major breakthrough. He finished second at the 2024 Masters, his first major golf tournament, positioning him well for a strong finish at Valhalla. The 2022 PGA Championship winner Thomas aims to get back on track after failing to miss the cut in four of the last five majors.

T-3. Brooks Koepka (+1400)

Partners: Max Homa (+2800), Jordan Spieth (+6600) | 8:37 a.m. ET (Thursday, No. 10) • 2:02 p.m. ET (Friday, No. 1)

Koepka, last year's winner, is coming off a win in Singapore with LIV Golf, his first in 2024. In his previous PGA Championship appearance at Valhalla in 2014, the five-time major winner finished tied for 15th at nine-under-par. Homa finished third at April's Masters and is one of the best in the field at chipping. He ranks 25th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained around the green and enters with the eighth-best odds to win the tournament. Spieth only has two top-10 major finishes since 2022 (nine events) and missed the cut the last time the PGA Championship was held at Valhalla.

5. Jon Rahm (+1800)

Rickie Fowler (+12500), Cameron Young (+4500) | 2:02 p.m. ET (Thursday, No. 1) • 8:37 a.m. ET (Friday, No. 10)

Per Datagolf.com, Fowler ranks second among golfers in this year's field in average adjusted strokes gained at Valhalla, and his familiarity with the course may give him a better chance than expected. Rahm leads the group in pre-tournament odds but finished 45th at this year's Masters and 50th at the 2023 PGA Championship. Young, No. 16 in the world rankings, has five top-10 finishes this year, including a tie for ninth at the Masters in April.

6. Aberg

7. Bryson DeChambeau (+2500)

Akshay Bhatia (+10000), Tommy Fleetwood (+3300) | 8:59 a.m. ET (Thursday, No. 10) • 2:24 p.m. (Friday, No. 1)

Bhatia, 22, is making his PGA Championship debut, while DeChambeau, aims to build on a sixth-place finish at the Masters and top-four finish at the 2023 PGA Championship. Fleetwood is one of the top active golfers to never win a major and has five top-10 finishes in his nine major events.

8. Homa

9. Collin Morikawa (+3000)

Partners: Phil Mickelson (+25000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+6000) | 1:51 p.m. ET (Thursday, No. 1) • 8:26 a.m. ET (Friday, No. 10)

Morikawa excels in an area that could prove vital this weekend. "Hitting the fairways is way more at a premium here than it is at a lot of places," Keith Reese, PGA general manager at Valhalla, told Golfweek's Jason Lusk. Morikawa ranks second on the tour in driving accuracy (78.77 percent), hitting 345 of a possible 438 fairways. 

Mickelson and Fitzpatrick have much longer odds, but could have a front-row seat as Morikawa contends.

T-10. Fleetwood

T-10. Joaquin Niemann (+3300)

Gary Woodland (+50000), Tom Kim (+12500) | 1:40 p.m. ET (Thursday, No. 1) • 8:15 a.m. ET (Friday, No. 10)

LIV Golf's Niemann has two wins on the tour this year, but has missed the cut at three of his six PGA Championship appearances including in 2023. Meanwhile, Kim, 21, is still searching for his first made cut at the tournament after failing on his first three tries. Woodland's subpar driving accuracy doesn't translate well to Valhalla, which could lead to an early exit.
