David Bearman has finalized his 2026 PGA Championship bets, fading top-10 favorite Ludvig Aberg and backing one player priced longer than 60-1 plus two triple-digit longshots.
Bearman said he does not yet trust Aberg to close out a first major on Sunday, even though he believes the Swede could eventually win 3-4 majors.
Scottie Scheffler enters Thursday's opening round at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania as the +480 favorite, chasing his fifth major title and a second straight PGA Championship.
Rory McIlroy is listed at +850, followed by Cameron Young at +1200 and Jon Rahm at +1300 in FanDuel's early odds.
Bearman's picks carry weight because he is up 18.1 units in 2026, with 28 placement bets cashed through the first 11 tournaments and an outright hit on Cameron Young at the Players Championship.
