The last tune-up for next week's PGA Championship is a doozy: The $20 million Wells Fargo Championship that starts Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C. Almost all the big names – with the prominent exception of Scottie Scheffler – will be battling for big money and big momentum heading into the PGA. Bet on this tournament after learning about the best Wells Fargo Championship betting promos. New customers can get guaranteed bonus bets, first-bet offers and more from the top golf betting sites when they create an account.
The world's No. 1 golfer isn’t playing the week before the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville because Scheffler and wife Meredith have been waiting for their first child to arrive since late April. Scheffler felt emboldened to play (and win) The Masters and the RBC Classic because that was prior to the due date.
With Scheffler out of this week's hunt, Rory McIlroy becomes the top-ranked player in the 70-man field. He already has three Wells Fargo Classic titles on his resume. If he adds a fourth this week, he'll also add $3.6 million to his bank account.
McIlroy will battle defending Wells Fargo champ Wyndham Clark, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Xander Schauffele and more – but all the industry's best online sportsbooks show McIlroy as the clear betting favorite.
