US PGA Championship preview — Dustin Johnson to carry on his American dream

The fourth and final Major of the year is the US PGA Championship, which begins at Baltusrol this week. While attention will soon turn to the Rio Olympics, the eyes of the golf world are on New Jersey, and Sportsbet.io took a look at who could lift the famous trophy on Sunday afternoon.

After winning his last two tournaments on American soil — including the US Open, Dustin Johnson is unsurprisingly favourite to add his second Major.

Having struggled to close out the biggest tournaments, winning at Oakmost represents a shift for the big-hitting right-hander, and he is playing with all the confidence in the world.

Now ranked world number 2, Johnson is available at 8.00 with Sportsbet.io — and it would take a brave bettor to go against him.

Dubbed one of the best players never to win a Major, Rickie Fowler will hope that this week is the week he finally gets to lift one of golf’s biggest prizes.

One of only two in the world top 10 without a Grand Slam, Fowler certainly has the game to go all the way.

He wasn’t at his best in the Open, but after performing well at the WGC-Bridgestone he is well placed to go all the way this week.

Sportsbet.io make Fowler 16.00 to win this week, which could be worth an investment.

Another player who is perhaps too long a price is Martin Kaymer.

The double-Major winning German is the model of consistency, and has been there and done it before, which could be crucial coming down the stretch.

A bet on Kaymer at 61.00 with Sportsbet.io could see punters raking it in on Sunday evening.

What will this year’s US PGA Championship have in store? Whichever way it goes, you can bet on the action at Sportsbet.io. Remember, #betbigwinbig!
