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 |
| Justin Rose | 8 | +400 | Jan. 2019 | 2013 US Open |
| Xander Schauffele | 9 | +500 | Jan. 2019 | NA |
| Tommy Fleetwood | 10 | +600 | NA | NA |
Koepka is rightfully a favorite to win at least one major in 2020 after winning a total of four over the last three seasons and finishing no worse than T-4 in all four majors in 2019. Like Tiger, he tailors his schedule around the majors.
He’s the safest bet on the board, just be prepared to make a significant investment for a worthwhile return. A $10 bet will fetch a modest profit of $20.

Where is Brooks Koepka’s best chance of winning a major in 2020?
| Event | 2020 Venue | Best career result | Odds |
| Masters | Augusta National | T-2 (2019) | +900 |
| PGA Championship | TPC Harding Park | Won (2018, 2019) | +800 |
| US Open | Winged Foot | Won (2017, 2018) | +800 |
| Open Championship | Royal St. George’s | T-4 (2019) | +1000 |
Koepka is the favorite to win the year’s final three majors, while he trails only McIlroy (+800) at the Masters. His best odds are at the two majors he has each won twice before. He’s a slightly better value at the Masters, which hosts the smallest field of the four majors.
Will Brooks Koepka win a major in 2020?
Yes.
Instead of laying a large wager on Koepka to win “a major,” bet him with smaller amounts at each of the four. My best play is to parlay victories at both the US Open and PGA Championship, where a $10 bet will fetch a profit of $800 with +8000 odds.
Adding the Masters to the mix for a three-leg parlay would profit $8,090 on a $10 wager.
