Alex Smalley birdied the 18th and 3rd in the final four holes of the third round, bringing his total to 6 under for the tournament and a two-stroke lead. But big names like Ludwig Aberg (-4), Jon Rahm (-4), Rory McIlroy (-3) and Xander Schauffele (-3) are chasing him, all within three strokes of the lead. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is 1 under for the tournament. <\/p>\n<p>The 2026 PGA Championship odds heading into Sunday have Smalley as the +480 favorite to win (risk $100 to win $480), followed by Rahm (+500), Aberg (+600) and McIlroy (+700).

Anyone who follows our sports betting recommendations may have seen huge profits. <span class=\"link\">gambling site<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>The 2026 PGA Championship is in its fourth round, and the model simulated the remaining tournament 10,000 times, and the results are surprising.

He has defied expectations all weekend and has recorded 67 wins, 69 losses, and 68 draws thus far. It was a commendable effort, but he&#8217;s poised to jump onto the massive leaderboard. Modell says his lack of experience with this kind of pressure makes him a difficult candidate to back. See who else will be fading out here. <\/p>\n<p>Another surprise is that the model predicts a rebound for Scheffler on Sunday, as he is expected to return to the top five despite playing T23 on Sunday. Scheffler is currently firing 71 shots in back-to-back rounds, including 67 in the first round. Scheffler leads the PGA this season with a fourth-round scoring average of 67.22, so the model likes the +1600 value on the outright bet and a strong play on the top-5 bet (+230).
