PGA Tour Golf Odds, Picks, Predictions: Final 2026 Truist Championship Betting Card, OAD

The 2026 PGA Tour golf season continues, with Quail Hollow Club  next on tap to host the Truist Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, beginning Thursday. Rory McIlroy, Cameron Young, and Xander Schauffele headline among Truist Championship bets this week, as John Haslbauer provides his favorite picks among all the golf odds for this tourney. You’ll find the top odds across the best sports betting sites.

The 6th Signature Event of the 2026 PGA Tour season is here, as the PGA Tour heads to Charlotte for the Truist Championship after a one year respite at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Whether it be host to the PGA Championship, Truist Championship, Wells Fargo Championship, or Presidents Cup, Quail Hollow remains a constant test for the PGA Tour’s best, emphasizing driving distance, long iron play, and scrambling.

In this limited field of 72, value can be hard to come by, which calls for a more consolidated betting card than usual. Standing over 7,500 yards, Quail Hollow plays like a modern major venue, so performance in comparable difficult scoring conditions will be crucial when searching for hopeful contenders.

How I Built My Truist Championship Betting Card

Last week, I bet conservatively in the “Without Scheffler” market. Had it not been for a superhuman performance from Cameron Young, that might have felt more like the prudent play. This week, I can’t single out Rory McIlroy as the one man to beat, despite his undeniable form and course history. There are many in-form talents at the top of the board who are capable of winning at Quail Hollow, so I’ve built my card around veterans with proven history on comparable, long, difficult venues.

From a unit allocation standpoint, it’s back to business as usual for my weekly stake at the 2026 Truist Championship.

• Outrights – 3.5U in to pay 25U each
• FRL – 0.5U in to pay out 10U+ each
• Full tournament matchups – 1U in to pay out 2U
• Props – 1.2U in to pay out 3U+ each

Truist Championship Bets: Outrights (3.5 Units)

Ludvig Aberg

My Bet: +1650 

Any time Ludvig tees it up on a long golf course that rewards total driving and long iron proficiency, I’m going to be interested. Aberg’s most recent victory came in a signature at Torrey Pines, so we know he is capable of winning on a long and demanding course against the PGA Tour’s best. Aberg is in excellent form leading into this week, with four top-5 finishes over his last five starts.

A T3 at this year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational supports that his game is in perfect shape to attack yet another long, Bermuda layout this week in Charlotte.

Adam Scott

My Bet: +3500 

My featured spotlight player of the week, Scott did some damage to his outright odds by catapulting up the leaderboard with a Sunday 64 at the Cadillac Championship. His T4 finish at Doral was his third finish inside the top-12 over his last six starts. That includes 4th place finish at the Genesis Invitational, one of the top correlary events to the Truist Championship, and the site of Scott’s most recent PGA Tour victory back in 2020.

Scott is in complete control of his ball striking now and is a cooperative putter away from lifting the trophy in Charlotte this week. Having gained on the greens in each of his last four trips to Quail Hollow, I’m optimistic this may finally be the week for Scott to break through.

Sam Burns

My Bet: +4800

Bermuda Burns is on an underrated heater, carrying four consecutive top-21 finishes leading up to last week’s Cadillac Championship. Once a putting contest merchant who thrived in easy scoring conditions, Burns’ game has matured in recent years, and he now looks equipped to handle a behemoth like Quail Hollow.

Burns is three or four collective holes away from being a two-time major champion, as he held a share of the lead on Sunday at the 2026 Masters and 2025 U.S. Open. He’s top-15 in this field in Driving Distance, is in excellent approach form, and has finished T19 and T13 in his last two visits to Quail Hollow.

Hideki Matsuyama

My Bet: +4900

Like many of the others on my card this week, Matsuyama has a long, decorated history of performing on long and difficult venues. The 2021 Masters champion has also picked up wins on comp courses like Muirfield Village and Riviera CC. The driver has come a long way since what he showed in his runner-up finish at the WM Phoenix Open in February.

From an approach standpoint, there are few others on the PGA Tour who are more lethal with a long iron in hand than Matsuyama. He’ll look to continue his hot 2026 season, with eight top-15 finishes over his last 13 starts.

Kurt Kitayama

My Bet: +5500

Kitayama has sustained an incredible run of form with his irons, now surpassing a year of consecutive starts in which he’s been positive in SG: Approach. Kitayama is best equipped to sustain that run of hot iron play at Quail Hollow this week, as he ranks No. 1 in the field in Prox: 175+, where a majority of approaches funnel to.

Surprisingly, Kitayama has not broken through for much success at Quail Hollow to date, with finishes of MC, T34, and MC over three prior appearances. The lack of course history is undoubtedly factored into his discounted price this week, and it’s entirely the fault of his putter. He’s gained a total of 12 strokes on approach over his last two visits to Quail Hollow. With top-10 finishes in his last two starts, the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational champion seems to be circling closer and closer to his next PGA Tour win.

Truist Championship Bets: First-Round Leader (0.5 Units)

Kurt Kitayama

My Bet: +4000

Kitayama continues to flash elite upside, while allowing one poor round to derail his chances of contending. Considering that volatility, I like hedging my outright exposure in the FRL market. He ranks top-10 in both Driving Distance and SG: APP, and has proven he can go low on a long, Bermuda venue, winning the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational. 

Jacob Bridgeman

My Bet: +5400

If the Riviera-Quail Hollow correlation trend is real, Bridgeman offers an appealing value this week. He profiles as an above-average driver with spike approach side, and has looked like the best putter on the PGA Tour for much of this season.

Max Homa

My Bet: +6600

This is a comfort for Homa, who has a win and two additional top-10 finishes over his career at this event. While his form has been up and down this season, he flashed his peak form at the Masters three starts ago with an impressive T9 showing.

Ryan Fox

My Bet: +6700

Fox is always a threat on long, driver-heavy courses, picking up his most recent win at TPC Toronto last season. He remains in great all-around form with five top-25 finishes over his last seven starts.

Sungjae Im

My Bet: +9000

Injury is no longer a concern for Sungjae, who flashed his peak form at the Valspar Championship with a T4 finish in March. While his form has been inconsistent since then, this appears to be a great get-right spot, as Sungjae has finished T4 and T8 in his last two appearances at this event at Quail Hollow. 

Truist Championship Prop Bets (2.5 Units)

Full Tournament Matchup: Ludvig Aberg over Si Woo Kim

My Bet: -120

I am very high on Ludvig’s prospects this week, and selling high on Si Woo Kim’s stretch of hot form at the moment. The only question surrounding Ludvig now is whether he can convert a win on Sunday. With Si Woo, I still have concerns about his putting (66th in SG: Putting on Bermuda greens), and his lack of distance (50th in Driving Distance) on such a long course.

While I’m not expecting Kim to play poorly, there are far more paths to a lower score for Aberg in this matchup.

Top-20 Finish: Jacob Bridgeman

My Bet: +250

I find it hard to believe that a player who began the season with eight consecutive top-20 finishes is done contending for the rest of the year. He still has not missed a cut in 2026, and his underlying ball striking and short game metrics would suggest he’s due for a bounce back at Quail Hollow. His run of form extends beyond just this year as well, as he finished T4 at last year’s Truist Championship. 

Top-20 Finish: Max Homa

My Bet: +340

On the merit of course history alone, I love the value we are getting on Homa in this market. Yes, the Signature Events are loaded with depth, but Homa has still finished top-10 here in three of his last four visits. With five top-40 finishes over his last eight starts, the form is not too far away for Homa. 

One And Done

My Pick: Adam Scott

Adam Scott will fall under the category of “Popular bet and fantasy option, not so popular OAD selection.” Collectively, golf fans understand that Scott is playing incredible golf at the moment and suits Quail Hollow perfectly, but will they pull the trigger on him in OAD over in-form stars like McIlroy, Young, Fitzpatrick, and Schauffele with such a large purse on the line?

It’s a risk to pass on these in-form stars with so much prize money on the line, but this is a testament to my confidence in Scott’s ability to contend in these conditions. There are few events remaining on the schedule where Scott will be found as short as 30-1 odds to win as well.

If not Scott, I would also consider playing Ludvig Aberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, or Hideki Matsuyama in OAD.
