Sports Illustrated Picks Rickie Fowler at 66-1 as PGA Championship Dark Horse

Rickie Fowler is Sports Illustrated’s top value pick for the 2026 PGA Championship, with the outlet highlighting his 66-1 odds ahead of this week’s major at Aronimink.
Three straight top-10 finishes at signature events and a field-best No. 5 ranking in total strokes gained over the past 30 days underpin that call, along with Fowler’s T8 at Aronimink in the 2018 BMW Championship.
Harry Hall at 140-1 and Alex Smalley at 150-1 were the other long-shot selections, backed by Hall’s recent T8 at the Truist Championship and Smalley’s run of five straight finishes of T21 or better.
Aronimink is hosting the PGA Championship for the first time since 1962, and the preview argues recent majors have shown long shots can still break through.
