David Bearman locked in his 2026 PGA Championship picks and singled out Ludvig Åberg as a golfer to avoid despite the Swede carrying the sixth-shortest odds at +1800.
Åberg, 26, has never won a major and has missed the cut at the PGA Championship in both 2024 and 2025, with Bearman saying he does not yet trust him "with it all on the line on Sunday."
Bearman enters the week with momentum, up more than 18 units in 2026 after hitting Cam Young outright at The Players Championship and backing winners at the RBC Heritage and Cadillac Championship.
Scottie Scheffler is the +480 favorite at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, where play begins Thursday and the world No. 1 will try to win a second straight PGA Championship.
Can Scottie Scheffler repeat his PGA Championship win, or is Aronimink perfectly suited for a Rory McIlroy upset?
Experts doubt Ludvig Åberg’s Sunday nerve. Can the rising star silence critics with a major victory at Aronimink?
