How this list was built
We researched operator pages, tournament hubs and regulatory records to confirm two things for each sportsbook: (1) that the operator publishes PGA Championship markets and tournament-specific golf coverage on its site and (2) where the operator is legally licensed to accept bets (or which regulated jurisdictions it serves). The principal sources used were sportsbook golf pages and regulator or corporate regulatory information pages linked in the Sources section. We avoided assumptions about blanket global availability — market access for major bookmakers varies by country and, in the United States, by state.
Ranking criteria — what matters for PGA Championship bettors
- Actual PGA Championship markets: Outright winner, each‑way/top‑X finish, first‑round leader, hole/group props, and live/in‑play markets during the tournament.
- Market depth and variety: Number of golfers priced, each‑way settlement rules, matchups and specialty props for majors.
- Regulatory status and regional access: Active licence(s) in key markets (UK/Ireland, EU, or U.S. states) and visible consumer protections.
- Real-time product quality: In‑play tools, shot‑by‑shot markets where offered, and editorial content or data to help bettors research picks.
- Transparency trust: Clear terms for golf markets, published rules for how golf bets are settled, and evidence of compliant operations in regulated markets.
We weighted “is the operator actually offering PGA Championship markets?” and “is the operator regulated where the reader is trying to bet?” more heavily than promotional offers. Promos change frequently and are not a stable quality metric for tournament coverage.
Availability and regulation — essential notes
Because this guide is targeted at a global audience, pay careful attention to regional licensing and geolocation controls:
- Operators such as bet365, William Hill and Paddy Power operate under UK/Irish (and in some cases Malta/Gibraltar) licences for customers in Great Britain and Ireland; those operators publish dedicated golf and PGA Championship hubs. Confirm local access — UK-licensed brands are regulated to the Gambling Commission’s standards in Great Britain. (See operator golf pages and the Gambling Commission public statement for William Hill in Sources.)
- U.S.-facing sportsbooks (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM) run state licences in jurisdictions that have legal sports wagering. If you are in the United States you must be physically located in a legal state to place real-money bets with these apps; each operator posts a state availability page or in‑app geolocation verification. These operators typically publish dedicated PGA Championship markets when the tournament is on the calendar.
- Market coverage is event‑dependent: nearly all major bookmakers add extra markets and props for the four majors. However, market depth and promotional offers vary by operator and by jurisdiction — always verify the bookmaker’s tournament page or in‑app market list before assuming a specific prop is available.
- If you cannot verify an operator’s availability where you live, do not attempt to use it. Contact the operator’s support or consult your national regulator (for example, the UK Gambling Commission or a state gaming board in the U.S.) for clarity.
Operator snapshots (what each bookmaker offers for the PGA Championship)
bet365
bet365 runs a dedicated golf hub and specific PGA Championship pages that include outrights, round leader/first‑round leader markets, player props and live betting. The operator is licensed in multiple regulated markets (including UK-regulated entities for customers in Great Britain) and is known for deep outright boards that list many players and each‑way settlement options. For UK and many international customers, bet365’s golf hub is an excellent single-stop resource for majors.

William Hill
William Hill publishes PGA Championship previews, outright markets and round markets via its news and sportsbook sections. The brand continues to operate under regulated entities that service UK customers (see Gambling Commission public statement on enforcement actions). William Hill’s site explicitly lists the major markets offered for each big championship and their golf betting rules — useful if you need to check each‑way settlement and special rules for majors.

Paddy Power
Paddy Power offers a wide set of golf markets including special novelty markets around majors. The brand is operated by Flutter group companies and has public regulatory documentation for its licensed entities; for UK/Ireland readers, Paddy Power is a reliable source of novelty and outright markets for majors.
Sources: Paddy Power golf pages and regulatory information pages (company licence listings).
BetMGM
BetMGM publishes full PGA Championship markets in U.S. states where it is licensed. BetMGM’s golf pages and blog content show futures, round props, and live betting products for majors. If you are in a U.S. legal market (for example New Jersey, Michigan, Colorado and others where BetMGM holds licences), BetMGM will be a primary source for PGA Championship markets.
Sources: BetMGM golf hub and state availability content.
DraftKings
DraftKings Sportsbook runs comprehensive PGA Championship markets across licensed states and provides editorial analysis via DK Network tied to its sportsbook odds. DraftKings also links DFS and sportsbook content where permitted, making it convenient for bettors who use both products in states where DraftKings Sportsbook is legal.

FanDuel
FanDuel Research provides PGA Championship odds, picks and special promotions; FanDuel has also integrated shot-by-shot live markets through third‑party data (IMG Arena’s Golf Event Centre in prior operator releases). FanDuel is a strong option for in‑play golf markets in U.S. states where it is licensed.

How PGA Championship markets typically work (what to expect)
Most bookmakers expand market depth for majors. Expect the following market types:
- Outright Winner — the longlist of players with each‑way rules; majors typically offer more each‑way places than a regular tour event.
- Each‑way / Top‑X finishes — majors commonly pay top‑10/top‑20 places depending on the operator and the size of the field.
- First/Second/Third‑Round Leader — bets on who leads after a round; settlement rules vary (ties, partial voids).
- Head‑to‑Head matchups — player A vs. player B over the tournament or a round.
- Hole‑by‑hole and shot‑by‑shot props — available at operators that license live golf data; availability is jurisdiction dependent.
- Specials and novelty markets — e.g., nationality-based outcomes, winning margin, or longshot winner specials added for majors.
Always read the sportsbook’s golf rules and the market’s terms before staking money — settlement rules (how ties are handled, each‑way place counts, refunds if players withdraw before teeing off) differ between operators.
Practical advice for betting the PGA Championship
- Check each operator’s PGA Championship hub before placing bets — markets can open months in advance for outright futures and expand as tee times approach.
- Where available, prefer sportsbooks that publish clear golf rules (how they settle each‑ways, leader bets and in‑play time-stamps) to avoid disputes after the event.
- Compare the number of priced golfers for outrights — deeper boards give you more longshot value; compare each‑way place terms and fraction of price paid for places.
- For in‑play strategies, use operators who provide real-time shot data and hole markets (if allowed in your jurisdiction). FanDuel and some U.S. operators have previously integrated shot‑by‑shot products.
- Keep stakes proportionate to bankroll — majors are high variance. Avoid chasing last-round volatility without a clear edge.
Responsible gambling
This site does not encourage underage gambling. Betting should only be undertaken by adults (18+ or older where local law requires). Use the operator’s responsible‑gambling tools (deposit limits, self‑exclusion, reality checks) and consult local regulators if you have questions about operator licensing or dispute resolution.
