The PGA Championship allows club pros to play, which is how some players get into the field. They generally do not have a good chance to win, however, Michael Block was a club pro in 2023 and he placed top 15.

This year, he has +75000 odds to win, which is better than John Daly and Jason Dufner, for example. He's still a long shot, but he has by far the best bet out of any club pros.

Some dark-horse candidates to consider are Jake Knapp at +12500, Brian Harman at +7500, Max Homa at +3300, Viktor Hovland at +3500, and Brooks Koepka at +1000.

Koepka is the reigning champion and he would have the second-best odds of anyone to win if Scheffler was to withdraw to be there for the birth of his first child, something that is very possible. That might be a bet that is too good to pass up.
