How to Bet the PGA Championship
The PGA Championship is the second major of the year, played in May, and it is known for assembling the strongest, deepest field in golf. Unlike The Masters it moves to a different venue each year, so course fit and current form carry more weight than course history. The winner lifts the Wanamaker Trophy.

The deepest field in golf
The PGA Championship invites a huge share of the world's best players, which makes for big, competitive boards. With so much talent, favorites are longer and the value can run deep into the field.
How to bet a rotating venue
Because the course changes every year, lean on current form and the specific demands of that year's setup rather than past results at the event. Long bombers thrive at some venues, precise iron players at others.
Reading the setup
Pay attention to the announced course before you bet. A long, soft track favors power, while a tight, firm one rewards accuracy and short-game touch. Matching player strengths to the setup is the core of PGA Championship handicapping.
