2024 PGA Championship Odds & Picks: Collin Morikawa

by |

Golf’s biggest stars descend on Louisville, Kentucky, this week for the second major of the year, the 2024 PGA Championship, which will be played at Valhalla Golf Club.

This will be the fourth PGA Championship to be played at Valhalla, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course that opened in 1986. Mark Brooks won the first PGA at Valhalla in 1996. Tiger Woods outlasted Bob May in a memorable Valhalla duel to win the 2000 PGA Championship. And Rory McIlroy won the PGA here in 2014, edging Phil Mickelson by a stroke.

Brooks Koepka is the defending PGA Championship winner. He won by two strokes over Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler last year at Oak Hill. But Scheffler is the headliner this week. The No. 1 player in the world has been on fire this year, winning four of his last five events. Last month, Scheffler won the first major of 2024, The Masters, earning his second Green Jacket.

Course History

Collin Morikawa won the first PGA Championship of his career, beating Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey by two shots at Harding Park in 2020. Morikawa finished eighth at Kiawah Island in 2021 but has finished outside the top 25 in the last two PGAs. As with most younger players in the field, Morikawa has not yet played Valhalla on the PGA Tour.

Collin Morikawa Recent Form

We’re seeing some encouraging signs of life from two-time major winner Collin Morikawa. He has scuffled for nearly two years by his standards, but he has strung together a strong 2024 campaign. Morikawa’s form at the Masters was stellar and erased any concern with the former Cal Bear’s putting woes under pressure.

Collin Morikawa 2024 PGA Championship Betting Outlook

Valhalla is a ball-striker’s paradise. Collin Morikawa is a world-class iron player and is among the most accurate in the world from tee to green. As he regains some of his confidence and swagger from 2019 and 2020, we should see fewer instances where Morikawa cracks under pressure in major tournaments. At 25-1, he is priced appropriately, and I would be enticed to bet him outright with a top-10 kicker.
