Assessing John Romm’s Odds in the Upcoming PGA Championship

As the PGA Championship approaches, the golfing world is closely watching the odds assigned to the top players. Scotty is a strong contender at 3 to 1, while Rory holds promising odds at +650. Meanwhile, John Romm, despite not having clinched a major victory recently, is listed with the third shortest odds to win. This ranking raises questions, especially given his track record over the past two years where he was frequently favored in PGA Tour events.

Adding complexity to Romm's situation are his recent off-the-course distractions, including a notable controversy at the DP World event prior to the Masters. While he has since resolved these issues, paying off debts and fines, the lingering effects of these distractions could impact his focus and performance in the upcoming major. As such, some might consider him a risky bet for this championship.
