Betting Preview

Aronimink Golf Club is a par-70 layout at about 7,394 yards, offering several tests that the world's best players must successfully navigate.

Aronimink is built on rolling, ridge-and-valley land outside Philadelphia, so you rarely get a flat lie and the ball is always working on or off a slope.

The setup emphasises fairway position, approach precision, and avoiding the wrong side of the hole, rather than just brute force.

The holes most likely to shape the championship are the par-3 8th, the long par-4 15th, the reachable but dangerous par-5 16th, the lake-guarded par-3 17th, and the uphill closing par-4 18th.

Those holes combine length, elevation changes, water hazards, and demanding green complexes, so mistakes can quickly add up.

With this in mind, the best fit is usually the player who combines length with elite approach play, because there are enough longer par 4s and demanding long-iron shots to separate the field.

Betting Markets to Watch

When thinking about the best golfers to consider with all the necessary attributes to be successful, it's worth considering the following individuals as potential each-way bets:

• Scottie Scheffler (early favourite)
• Rory McIlroy (recent Masters betting victory)
• Bryson DeChambeau (strong raw power)
• Jon Rahm (positive form in golf tips)

Scheffler is the defending PGA Champion, an elite ball-striker, and the most reliable tee-to-green player in the game, which is why his odds are slightly shorter than everyone else's, despite his recent slow starts.

Cam Young is another who can't be discredited, as he'll enter with a recent victory at the Miami Championship.

If you're considering outsiders, players like Matt Fitzpatrick and Collin Morikawa could be worth a shout.

Aronimink gives a real edge to players who are excellent on and around the greens, because Ross greens tend to punish the wrong side of the cup and make lag putting awkward. These two will look attractive if the week turns into an approach-and-putt contest.

Our Prediction

Our top pick in the each-way bet to be the likely winner is Scheffler. He is the defending champion and is arguably the most complete player on the guide to betting on golf.

We think there's additional value in DeChambeau, as he has finished as runner-up at the PGA Championship the last two years.

Our long shot is Morikawa, who won the event in 2020 (California), and had been playing steady golf before the recent Miami Championship.
