talkSPORT betting tips – Best golf bets and expert advice for the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow
The world’s top golfers head to North Carolina this week for the second Major of the year, the PGA Championship. The top two in the world rankings – Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy – look set to be involved at the head of the leaderboard, while Xander Schauffele is seeking to defend the title he won at Valhalla in 2024. We have three suggested bets for this week’s event at Quail Hollow, for what promises to be a thrilling four days of action from tee to green. talkSPORT BET welcome offer – Get £20 in free bets* PGA Championship betting tips Rory McIlroy to win (Price Boost) @ 11/2 Top Continental European – Ludvig Aberg @ 18/5 Top 10 Finish – Max Homa @ 10/1 Rory returns to successful venue Nobody has won more professional tournaments at Quail Hollow than Rory McIlroy, who has won the Wells Fargo Championship (now the Truist Championship) at this venue. McIlroy is a four-time winner at the Charlotte layout, with his last victory coming in 2024 when he beat the field by five shots. The Northern Irishman finished T22 the last time the PGA Championship was held at Quail Hollow in 2017, but he is in a much better frame of mind this time around. The two-time PGA champion completed the career Grand Slam at the Masters and his iconic success at Augusta will take huge pressure off his shoulders going into this week’s event. McIlroy, who has eight top-10 finishes in this tournament, also holds the course record, having carded a 10-under-par round of 61 back in 2015. Aberg getting closer to maiden Major It’s crazy to think Ludvig Aberg turned professional less than two years ago and he already has two top-10 Major finishes to his name. The Swede failed to make the cut at Valhalla last year, but the experience he has earned in the last 12 months should see him challenge at the top of the leaderboard this week. Aberg has already won on the PGA Tour in 2025, with victory in The Genesis Invitational back in February. A seventh-placed finish at the Masters highlighted his ability at the very top level and he seems to peak at the right time for the Majors. A first-round 66 at last week’s Truist Championship was a good sign and the Ryder Cup star ranks ninth in driving stats on Tour, suggesting he could be ready to plot his way around Quail Hollow. Signs look positive for Homa Five straight missed cuts between February and April saw Max Homa slip outside of the world’s top 50 in the rankings. The 34-year-old finished T12 at the Masters and then followed that up with a T30 at the Truist Championship, following an opening round 66. Homa also has happy memories of Quail Hollow, having won the Wells Fargo Championship on two occasions, in 2019 and 2022. A good start is imperative for the man from Burbank, who is 25/1 to finish in the top-five this week. talkSPORT BET welcome offer – Get £20 in free bets* *18+ New customers only.
