Who's Winning the 2026 PGA Championship? A Supercomputer Gives Insight

Whether you're a gambling man or not, it seems like every sports fan loves a good prediction — after all, it makes sporting events just a little more fun (as long as you bet responsibly). And with the 2026 PGA Championship teeing off from Aronimink Golf Club this week, it's only natural that we get into some predictions.

According to current 2026 PGA Championship odds, Scottie Scheffler (+385) is the leader in the clubhouse to win yet another major. That's not too surprising, considering Scheffler's the world's best player and defending champ at this event.

Following Scheffler are Rory McIlroy (+900), Jon Rahm (14-1), Cameron Young (+1475), and Bryson DeChambeau (19-1), which round out the top-5 players with the best odds to win this season's second major.

While we all can make ouor own guesses at who's going to win the 2026 PGA Championship, thanks to BetVictor Casino's supercomputer — which used an advanced simulation model based on each player’s recent form and the current Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) — we have some deeper insights.

The Supercomputer's 2026 PGA Championship Prediction

So, which golfer does BetVictor's supercomputer think will win the 2026 PGA Championship — and at what predicted score (in parentheses)? Below are the predictions, which lists the top-10 players most likely to claim victory this week from Aronimink.

1. Rory McIlroy: -14 (18.5% projected in percentage)
2. Cameron Young: -12 (9.2%)
3. Scottie Scheffler: -11 (8.1%)
4. Xander Schauffele: -10 (7.4%)
5. Bryson DeChambeau: -9 (6.5%)
6. Ludvig Aberg: -9 (6.5%)
7. Collin Morikawa: -8 (4.2%)
8. Jon Rahm: -8 (4.2%)
9. Matt Fitzpatrick: -7 (3.1%)
10. Tommy Fleetwood: -7 (3.1%)

While it might not be too surprising to see McIlroy sit atop the predicted list — given his play this year after capturing his second-straight Masters victory last month — it might be a little shocking to see Cameron Young ahead of Scheffler.

Then again, this is what makes golf so incredible: Anything can happen.

So even with BetVictor's supercomputer predicting the outcome for the 2026 PGA Championship, golf is, arguably, the most unpredictable sport on the planet, so anyone can get hot and find themselves victorious by tournament's end.
