Oddsmakers Doubt Spieth's Major Quest
14 May
Summary
- Jordan Spieth is a long shot to win the 2026 PGA Championship.
- This is Spieth's 10th attempt to complete the career Grand Slam.
- Recent form shows Spieth struggling in the PGA Championship since 2019.
As the 2026 PGA Championship approaches, Jordan Spieth's quest to complete the career Grand Slam faces significant skepticism from oddsmakers. This marks his 10th attempt at achieving the rare feat, a goal that Rory McIlroy recently accomplished in April 2025. Spieth, who won his last major in 2017, is currently listed as a +6300 long shot by DraftKings.
His recent performance in the PGA Championship has been a cause for concern. Since a tie for third in 2019, Spieth has not finished better than 30th, missing the cut last year. Despite recent equipment changes and expressed optimism about his game, his current world ranking of 51st places him far from the typical favorites who have historically won major championships.
While an American has won the Wanamaker Trophy for the past decade, Spieth's odds do not place him among the top contenders. He is favored to make the cut but is rated for a Top 20 finish rather than a victory. Spieth is set to tee off alongside Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm on Thursday morning.
