DraftKings listed Scottie Scheffler at +385 on Wednesday, making him the favorite or co-favorite for a 14th straight major and his shortest-ever pre-PGA Championship price.
Cameron Young has rapidly closed the gap after wins at The Players and Cadillac Championship plus a tie for third at the Masters, with his PGA price shrinking from about 80-1 at open to +1475.
Sportsbooks say Scheffler is drawing the most tickets and handle, but his short price has limited bookmaker exposure and pushed many bettors to use him in parlays with favorites like the Thunder and Dodgers.
Young is creating more direct risk for books: Caesars has him as short as +800 and said heavy backing has made him a liability, while BetMGM reported the second-most bets and money on him.
Other notable public plays include Jordan Spieth at 59-1, Matt Fitzpatrick at 23-1 and Rickie Fowler at 65-1, while Rory McIlroy at +900 has seen lighter action after a toe injury and limited play since Augusta.
