MAJOR BETTING RETURNS

Betting on the PGA Championship has produced some healthy returns.

Phil Mickelson captured his sixth major at the 2021 PGA Championship and it was by far the most suprising major victory of his career.

The 50-year-old finished with a score of 6-under (282) and cashed tickets as high as 280/1 odds to take the major at Kiawah Island Golf Resort's Ocean Course from Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

While Lefty's win was eye opening, long shot tickets at the PGA have been very common over the last six years.

Collin Morikawa connected at 30/1 odds in 2020 and before him was the Koepka sweep in 2018 and 2019, which brought back 18/1 and 10/1 returns respectively.

Seeking an edge in your bets for the PGA Championship? The potential benefits of the BetMGM bonus code could be worth considering.
