Jordan Spieth has labeled Rory McIlroy as the favorite for this week’s PGA Championship, and Las Vegas seems to agree.
While the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook installed Spieth and McIlroy as co-favorites last month, McIlroy will start the week as a 7/1 betting favorite. Spieth is next at 8/1, followed by world No. 1 Dustin Johnson and recent winner Hideki Matsuyama at 12/1.
McIlroy’s dominance at Quail Hollow is well-documented, with two wins and six top-10s in seven starts, while Spieth has won two of his last three starts, including The Open.
