Bryson DeChambeau (+1400)
For the purposes of this article and in an attempt to make a proper profit Sunday afternoon, we’re looking past Johnson, Koepka (+500) and Collin Morikawa (+900) for some better value.
DeChambeau, the winner of the 2020 Rocket Mortgage Classic, is three shots back of Johnson at 6-under par. He leads the PGA Tour with a fourth-round scoring average of 67.55 through 11 events in the 2019-20 season. He shot 65 in the final round of his victory in Detroit, Michigan, after closing both the Charles Schwab Challenge and RBC Heritage with a 66.
He’s averaging 1.45 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee per round, according to Data Golf, with 1.73 SG: Putting per round.

Daniel Berger (+2000)
Berger, sixth, is the top-ranked player from the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings in contention at T-7. Like DeChambeau, he’s part of the six-man group entering the final round three shots off the lead.
He has remained one of the top golfers since the PGA Tour’s restart after returning to play with a playoff victory over Morikawa at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He also tied for third at the RBC Heritage and was the runner-up at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational following Koepka’s 18th-hole collapse.
Berger is averaging a fourth-round score of 67.91 through 11 events and is third for the week with 3.01 SG: Tee-to-Green at TPC Harding Park.

2020 PGA Championship Round 4 betting picks: Long shot
Jason Day (+2000)
Day was just +900 to win the PGA Championship, what would be his second major title, after sharing the Round 1 lead with Brendon Todd. Day is also three shots back coming into Sunday in search of his first win since 2018.
He leads the field with 2.40 SG: Approach per round and is sixth with 2.79 SG: Tee-to-Green. One of the top putters on Tour over his career, he’s averaging just 0.16 SG: Putting through three rounds and stands for an improved performance on the greens in his final round.
If he can do that while maintaining his iron play, he stands a great chance of capping the career comeback.
