Scottie Scheffler early favorite to win every 2026 golf major

The world’s No. 1 golfer just won the final major on the golf calendar this year, and betting experts anticipate plenty more big wins on the horizon.

Updated odds for the 2026 golf majors are out, and Scottie Scheffler is the familiar name at the top of every list. He is considered the favorite to win every major in 2026 coming off his 2025 Open Championship victory at Royal Portrush, according to BetMGM.

It shouldn’t be a surprise at this point. Scheffler was also the betting favorite entering all four majors this season. He also won his first PGA Championship in May. Scheffler only needs to win the U.S. Open to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only golfers in the modern era to win the sport’s grand slam.

“Any doubts about Scottie Scheffler’s British Open pedigree were emphatically squashed by the American at Royal Portrush with an effortless four-shot victory,’ BetMGM senior trader Matt Wall said. ‘BetMGM immediately shortened his 2026 Masters price to +400 from +500 and that could still shorten further should he continue to dominate on the PGA Tour. The comparisons with Tiger Woods certainly don’t look out of place right now. All the early action is on Scottie to win all four majors at +25000, and he is the favorite in each one right now.”

Here’s a breakdown of the early odds to win golf’s majors in 2026:
