Scottie Scheffler remains the favorite to win each of the next four golf majors after Rory McIlroy's historic Masters victory. The world's top-ranked player holds odds of +400 or shorter at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and Open Championship, while McIlroy follows at +650 for the PGA and +750 for the Open.

McIlroy's back-to-back Masters wins made him only the fourth golfer to achieve consecutive green jackets, yet his odds for the remaining majors remained relatively stable. Cameron Young saw the most significant movement, with his odds improving from 30-1 to 22-1 for the PGA and U.S. Open after strong Masters performance. Justin Rose also gained traction, moving to 35-1 for the PGA and U.S. Open.

Looking ahead, sportsbooks have already released odds for the 2027 Masters, with Scheffler leading at +400 and McIlroy at +600. The defending champions include Scheffler at both the PGA Championship (Aronimink Golf Club) and Open Championship (Royal Birkdale), while J.J. Spaun aims to defend his U.S. Open title at Shinnecock Hills. DraftKings Sportsbook odds are subject to change as the season progresses.
