Rory McIlroy is looking for his third PGA Championship title in the last five years, and bettors appear to like his chances.
McIlroy has received steady support at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, and he is now listed ahead of Dustin Johnson as the betting favorite this week at Baltusrol Golf Club. The Ulsterman, whose odds opened at 8/1 after the Open Championship and was available at 9/1 on Tuesday, is now available at 7/1.
According to Westgate manager Jeff Sherman, his book has received more money on McIlroy than all but one player in this week's field - Phil Mickelson, who won this event at Baltusrol in 2005 and is currently 15/1.
