The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island will present plenty of challenges for a star-studded field when the 2021 PGA Championship tees off Thursday. Rory McIlory won by eight strokes when the PGA was played at this course in 2012 and is listed as the 11-1 favorite in the latest 2021 PGA Championship odds from William Hill Sportsbook.

Before you make any 2021 PGA Championship picks or bet this tournament, you NEED to see what SportsLine analyst Rick Gehman has to say, given his uncanny track record of success.

With his data-driven approach to betting golf, Gehman routinely crushes sportsbooks. Since the calendar turned to 2020, Gehman's bets have cashed more than $1,400 for $100 players! 

The golf expert has picked 12 outright winners in the past 18 months and three this season, including Viktor Hovland at 25-1 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic and Daniel Berger at 20-1 at Pebble Beach! He JUST missed on nailing the winner in consecutive February events, with Hovland and Tony Finau finishing as runners-up on bets that would have cashed more than $1,900 on their own.

At the Wells Fargo Championship two weeks ago, he JUST missed on Hovland again when the Norwegian battled for the lead on the final day but tied for third. That bet would have paid more than $900. 

Gehman's biggest success this season has come on matchup plays. At last week's Byron Nelson, the golf expert went 3-0 on his matchup wagers, with Sam Burns finishing as runner-up, five strokes better than Harris English, while Russell Knox finished T-39 as opponent Tom Hoge missed the cut.    

Gehman has been on a roll all year! At Pebble Beach, Gehman made a profit of $400 thanks to backing Berger. He cashed top-10 bets on Hovland and Will Zalatoris at Torrey Pines. At The American Express, his bets brought in nearly $600 when he hit a top-five wager on Patrick Cantlay and top-10s on Abraham Ancer and Francesco Molinari. Anyone who followed Gehman's advice cashed in HUGE!

Now Gehman, whose models have produced three outright winners this season, has analyzed the latest 2021 PGA Championship odds from William Hill Sportsbook and revealed his picks to win.

We can tell you Gehman is backing Shane Lowry to win his matchup over Charl Schwartzel. Lowry has tons of experience on links-style courses in his native Ireland, and Gehman suggests him as a solid option for most formats. The golf expert says the veteran's improved play makes him likely to cruise past the South African Schwartzel. 

Gehman also has isolated three players to win, including a HUGE long shot who is listed at more than 60-1! This player is one of the best from tee-to-green on tour, and his driving is improving. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who Gehman is backing and check out his detailed bets and picks before you make your 2021 PGA Championship predictions!
