Xander Schauffele entered the PGA Championship with +1400 odds to win at BetMGM Sportsbook.
That turned out to be a good bet.
Schauffele won the second major of the year on Sunday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. He finished the week one shot better than Bryson DeChambeau for his first major title and his winning score of 21 under set a record for the lowest in a major championship.
Schauffele opened the tournament with a 62 on Thursday, tied for the lowest single round in a major. He entered the 72nd hole tied with DeChambeau, but his birdie on the par-5 gave him the victory.
Schauffele was drawing the seventh-most tickets (4%) and tied for the sixth-most money (3.8%) going into the tournament. His odds were the third shortest in the field, behind only Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
More than half of the pre-tournament betting was on Scheffler (+450), McIlroy (+750) and Brooks Koepka (+1600). Of all the money wagered on the outright winner market, 53.9% was on those three players, including 27.5% on Scheffler. Scheffler finished tied for eighth, McIlroy tied for 12th and Koepka tied for 26th.
