Notable Canadians in the Field
Corey Conners (+5000)
Holding the shortest odds of any Canadian competing at the 2025 PGA Championship, Corey Conners hopes to become the first Canadian to ever win the event.
In the midst of a successful 2025 campaign, Conners has finished in the top 25 in eight of his 12 events played, as well as five top-10 finishes so far this season. In six PGA Championship appearances, Conners has finished in the top 25 three times, narrowly missing the mark in 2024 as he finished T26.
Conners is looked at as a legitimate contender to win the 2025 PGA Championship in the eyes of the oddsmakers as they currently have him slotted within the top 20 of all participants.
After putting forth a strong showing at the 2025 Masters, finishing eighth overall, Conners may be primed to continue his strong play at the majors, notching himself his third top-10 finish at a major in less than two years.
Taylor Pendrith (+17500)
Hoping to score his first win of the 2025 season, Taylor Pendrith will aim to make a splash at the 2025 PGA Championship. The Richmond Hill native has had a solid year thus far, compiling thee top-10 finishes in 13 events played this season.
While Pendrith has proven he possesses tremendous upside once he gets hot, unfortunately he has failed to perform when the lights are at their brightest. Having only successfully made the cut twice in his last five appearances at a major, Pendrith has struggled mightily at the biggest events of the season.
Even with these negative trends in mind, one area for bettors to consider when backing Pendrith is his proven success at Quail Hollow. In two solo events played on the course, Pendrith has finished in the top 10 previously, shooting a 3-under at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
With his proven success at the Quail Hollow, Pendrith could be ripe for a surprise finish atop the leaderboard at the 2025 PGA Championship.
Mackenzie Hughes (+20000)
Getting hot at the right time of the season, Mackenzie Hughes could be the best option to win the 2025 PGA Championship of all the Canadians in the field. Having racked up three top-10 finishes in his last four outings, including top-three finishes at the RBC Heritage and Myrtle Beach Classic, Hughes has shown no signs of slowing down.
As the Hamilton product readies himself for another strong showing, he will need to exorcise some demons in order to put forth a respectable finish. In six appearances at the PGA Championship, Hughes has only ever made the cut once, finishing with a lacklustre T58 finish in 2020 for his best final spot at the major.
While he hasn’t managed to find success at the event, Hughes has performed well at Quail Hollow in the past, recently finishing sixth at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship, with a rock-solid 6-under.
If Hughes is able to get the monkey off his back when it comes to playing for the PGA Championship, he may be able to pick up where he left off and score his first top-20 finish at the major in his career.
Nick Taylor (+30000)
A Canadian golfer holding a plethora of experience on the PGA Tour, Winnipeg’s Nick Taylor hopes to finally capture his first win at a major in his career. Having already won an event in 2025 with a first-place finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii, the best golf of his career could still be ahead of him.
While his longstanding career has been full of various successes, Taylor has struggled at majors. Having failed to make the cut at a major in eight of his last nine outings, Taylor certainly hasn’t shown an ability to compete among the world’s best as of late.
Additionally, Taylor has struggled to perform at Quail Hollow throughout his career, with his best score on the course being even par.
Taylor holds longshot odds and should remain being viewed that way, until he’s able to prove he can secure a respectable finish at a major, his line is essentially untouchable.
Adam Hadwin (+60000)
Lastly, holding the longest odds of any Canadian competing at the 2025 PGA Championship, Moose Jaw’s Adam Hadwin hopes to secure his second career win in style as he claims a major victory this weekend.
Currently trudging through a rough season, Hadwin hasn’t had much success in 2025. With only two top-25 finishes to show for himself in 13 events played, a win at the PGA Championship appears unlikely. While Hadwin did have a sensational run at the 2022 U.S. Open, since then he hasn’t finished in the top 50, missing the cut in back-to-back appearances at a major.
Hadwin hasn’t had much better luck when it comes to his performances at Quail Hollow, with his only two finishes in the negative coming at the 2017-18 and 2018-19 Wells Fargo Championships, since then he has never had a better showing than four-over par.
Holding incredibly unfavourable odds for a reason, steer clear of Hadwin for your 2025 PGA Championship bets as he will need a miracle to secure a respectable finish at this major.

Top Longshot Picks to Win
Daniel Berger (+6600)
Looking to score this first event win of the 2025 season, don’t sleep on Daniel Berger at the 2025 PGA Championship. In 12 events played, Berger has finished in the top 25 nine times, showing elite-level consistency throughout the year.
Coming off of a strong performance at the Masters that saw him finish T21, Berger doesn’t wilt under the pressure of these prestigious events.
At +6600 odds, you can’t go wrong backing Berger to pull off the biggest win of his career as he upsets the field and secures his first major victory of his 12-year pro career.
Keith Mitchell (+10000)
If you’re looking for a bonafide moneymaker at the 2025 PGA Championship, then look no further than Keith Mitchell. The University of Georgia alum has proven that he possesses top-tier ability, evident by his two top-10 finishes in 2025, as well as five straight top-20 finishes.
While Mitchell does lack experience at any of the PGA tour majors, he does have experience at Quail Hollow, having played the course four times, including top-10 finishes at the 2018-19 & 2020-21 Wells Fargo Championships.
With his recent hot streak, combined with his history of success on the course, Mitchell could be set for a terrific showing at the 2025 PGA Championship, with very long odds of +10000.
Bud Cauley (+25000)
Last ,but not least, on our list of longshots to watch at the 2025 PGA Championships, secure yourself a sneaky win on your golf bet slips by backing Bud Cauley this weekend. While Cauley may not have the illustrious resume of some 14-year pros, don’t sleep on this legitimate underdog.
In nine events played in 2025, he has already earned three top-10 finishes, only three shy of his career best set back in 2012. Showing reliable consistency from event-to-event, Cauley’s numbers speak for themselves. Only one of 10 golfers on the PGA Tour to rank above average in scoring average, birdie average, driving distance, greens in regulation, and putting, Cauley, at +25000, seems like an enticing price given his current trajectory.
Additionally, while he hasn’t played in a major since 2020, he has made the cut in four his six major appearances. In his last event at Quail Hollow, Cauley finished with a score of 4-under par as he placed 24th at the 2018-19 Wells Fargo Championship.
At +25000, Cauley is more than worth sprinkling a wager on, as he looks to defy the odds and become quite possibly the biggest underdog to ever claim the PGA Championship.
