After winning the 2021 Masters, Hideki Matsuyama will have his hands full in the year’s second major golf tournament. Eight golfers are given a better chance to win the 2021 PGA Championship than the green jacket winner.

The betting favorite for the PGA Championship didn’t even make the cut at Augusta. Dustin Johnson leads the way with +1100 odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, to win the tournament. It is scheduled for May 20-23 at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.

Johnson is still the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world, despite shooting five-over-par in two rounds at the Masters. The two-time major winner tied for second place at last year’s PGA Championship.

Jon Rahm (+1200), who finished four shots behind Matsuyama, has the second-best odds to win the PGA Championship. Rahm is tied with Justin Thomas (+1200), the world’s No. 2 ranked golfer.

Bryson DeChambeau (+1400) is among the betting favorites, following a rough weekend at Augusta. DeChambeau sits atop the latest 2021 FedExCup Standings.

Brooks Koepka (+1600), Jordan Spieth (+1600), Rory McIlroy (+1600) and Xander Schauffele (+1600) are the only other golfers with better than 25/1 odds to win the next major tournament. Koepka won the PGA Championship in both 2018 and 2019. Spieth and Schauffele tied for third place at the Masters.

Collin Morikawa (+2700), the reigning PGA Champion, is next on the list of contenders. Morikawa has the same odds as Hideki Matsuyama (+2700).

Will Zalatoris (+3300) finished second at the Masters and just one shot behind Matsuyama. Marc Leishman (+5000) is a relative long shot after a fifth-place finish at Augusta.
