PGA Tour odds to win a major in 2020
| Name | Official World Golf Ranking | Odds | Last PGA Tour win (Solo) | Last major |
| Brooks Koepka | 1 | +200 | July 2019 | 2019 PGA Championship |
| Rory McIlroy | 2 | +250 | Nov. 2019 | 2014 PGA Championship |
| Jon Rahm | 3 | +350 | Jan. 2018 | NA |
| Justin Thomas | 4 | +450 | Oct. 2019 | 2017 PGA Championship |
| Dustin Johnson | 5 | +200 | Feb. 2019 | 2016 US Open |
| Tiger Woods | 6 | +400 | Oct. 2019 | 2019 Masters |
| Patrick Cantlay | 7 | +500 | June 2019 | NA |

| Tommy Fleetwood | 10 | +600 | NA | NA |
Cantlay shares the second-highest odds among those in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking. His best finish in a major to date was a T-3 at last year’s PGA Championship, but he was able to pick up his second PGA Tour win last season at the Memorial. He’s a solid bet while trying to get ahead of his major breakout.

Where is Patrick Cantlay’s best chance of winning a major in 2020?
| Event | 2020 Venue | Best career result | Odds |
| Masters | Augusta National | T-9 (2019) | +2500 |

Cantlay collected two top-10 finishes in majors last season after never having placed inside the top 10 in six previous major appearances as a professional. A great ball-striker, his lowest odds come at the US Open, where he’ll be able to avoid the trademark trouble of the long, thick rough.
Will Patrick Cantlay win a major in 2020?
I prefer Cantlay on the generic “win a major” bet rather than trying to single out the specific event. The second-best golfer in the world without a major has a well-balanced and all-around strong game which makes him a competitor every time he tees it up. Put a multi-unit bet on the +500 odds to win one, rather than spreading the money around on single events.
