Tiger Woods will put a tee in the ground again this week at the 2024 PGA Championship, his 1st start since the Masters in April. Woods primarily focuses on playing the majors at this point in his career and at the PGA Championship, he’ll be vying for his 5th Wanamaker Trophy.
Below, we break down Tiger Woods’ 2024 PGA Championship odds and prop bets from BetMGM Sportsbook and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Woods returns to Valhalla Golf Club where he won the 2000 PGA Championship, so he knows the course well. He also played the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla, but missed the cut after shooting back-to-back rounds of 74.
With 15 career majors, Woods is looking to add to his total this week, but it’ll be a huge challenge against a loaded field in Kentucky.

Tiger Woods’ PGA Championship odds and predictions

To win (+20000)
It’ll take a minor miracle for Woods to win at a course like this. It’s not that he doesn’t have the length off the tee to make it happen, but it’s a difficult walking course and as we’ve seen in just about every start he’s made since his leg injury, fatigue becomes a factor and it’s difficult for him to stay in the mix for all 4 rounds. PASS.
Top-5 finish (+2800)
Going to have to pass on Woods to finish in the top 5, too. He hasn’t finished in the top 20 of a major since his 2019 Masters win, with just 1 placement better than 37th in that span.
Top-10 finish (+1400)
Woods will need to have a near-perfect week in order to crack the top 10 at Valhalla. There’s just too much talent in this field.
Top-20 finish (+600)
Since 2014, Woods only has 4 finishes in the top 20 at a major. Even at +600 odds, they’re just too long to feel comfortable betting.

More Tiger Woods odds and predictions
Will Tiger Woods make the cut? Yes +140 | No -190
It’s tempting to bet Woods to make the cut, which will be the top 70 plus ties. In a field of 156 players, he really only needs to be slightly better than the top half, which is doable for just 2 rounds.
Top American finisher (+15000)
Not happening. This is a loaded field when it comes to American golfers, led by Scottie Scheffler. PASS again.
Tiger Woods’ PGA Championship first-round odds
- Leader +12500 (bet $100 to win $12,500)
- Top 5 +2200 (bet $100 to win $2,200)
- Top 10 +1100 (bet $100 to win $1,100)
If there was a top-20 option available, that might be tempting because all it takes is 1 good round for him to be near the top of the leaderboard. However, even a top 10 at +1100 isn’t worth playing.
