Golf Majors 2026 Odds & Predictions

William Hill’s golf betting markets for the majors go live soon after the previous edition has been completed. It’s several months until the Masters but placing wagers in advance can be a good way to find some value.

Familiar faces are favoured at the marquee events this far out from the first tee times. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who each had historic years in 2025, are given short odds, while Ludvig Åberg has the shortest odds among players yet to win a major.

Scheffler is 9/2 to finish in the top five at all five majors. McIlroy is the next shortest price at 12/1. The pair are 6/4 and 3/1, respectively, to finish in the top 10 in all four events.

The Masters

Having gone close in his first two Masters ventures, it’s a matter of when, not if Åberg dons a green jacket. The Swede has the accuracy and composure to excel at Augusta, as he’s already shown.

Best of the rest at 14/1 behind Scheffler and McIlroy, Åberg is exceptional value in the early outright markets. He’s going to be a multi-time major winner, and his early performances at Augusta suggest success is coming in the near future.

Tied third in 2023, Tommy Fleetwood has played some great golf at the Masters in the past. The pressure has been lifted by winning the Tour Championship – it’s very much in play that Fleetwood finally gets a first major in 2026. He’s 18/1 to carry his end-of-year form into Masters glory.

PGA Championship

Taking place at Aronimink Golf Club, which is hosting its first major since 1962, look for players to be tested with tight fairways and two-tiered greens. Keegan Bradley defeated Justin Rose in a playoff when Aronimink Golf Club hosted the BMW Championship in 2018.

Look out for McIlroy, though. His big hitting provides an advantage at Aronimink, plus he finished fifth in the 2018 BMW Championship, which included rounds of 62 and 63.

Does anyone fancy a 66/1 wager on Rose? The veteran Brit played some of his best golf in 2025, including a heroic Ryder Cup performance, and has excelled at Aronimink, including a win in the AT&T National in 2010.

US Open

Resilience is required for the challenges of Shinnecock Hills. Cool heads are likely to prevail. The battle-hardened Tyrrell Hatton is an interesting dark horse at 28/1 after finishing tied for sixth when the US Open was last played at this venue.

Underdogs have historically fared well at the US Open. Some might blame that on the randomness of the extreme conditions concocted, but this is the kind of event that could see a long shot winner.

It’s an incredibly unforgiving course, particularly if the rough is as deep as it was in 2018. The reliable face of Cameron Young could be in contention here. He’s consistently been there or thereabouts over the last three seasons and has the game to hang around when others make mistakes.

Open Championship

It’s no coincidence Robert MacIntyre is in at 18/1 to win The Open. While Americans love Birkdale, no one can rival MacIntyre’s experience in the conditions the field could experience in Southport.

Craft and accuracy are required to avoid the deep bunkers. Matt Fitzpatrick and Fleetwood are both thought of as possible favourites to lift the Claret Jug, while Jon Rahm has three previous top 10 finishes at the British Open and should be in the mix on Sunday.

With three majors and countless other events to be played before attention switches to Birkdale, it’s particularly hard to know which players will be in the right place – physically and mentally – to compete for The Open.

Keep an eye out for how players perform on other links courses on the DP and PGA Tours. Birkdale demands a very different skillset from Shinnecock and Augusta.
