2010 PGA Championship Odds Rory McIlroy vs Padraig Harrington PGA Championship Picks: The PGA Tour is in Kohler, Wisconsin this week for the 92nd PGA Championship. The Whistling Straights Golf Course will host the action as young phenom Rory McIlroy looks to capture his first major victory. 2010 PGA Championship Picks at Bodog.com have pitted McIlroy against fellow Irishman Padraig Harrington with the 21 year old listed as a -130 moneyline favorite to finish ahead of the 2008 PGA Championship winner. 

Rory McIlroy, who is currently 18th in the European Tour's Race to Dubai rankings, missed the cut at the season's first two 2010 PGA Championship Odds: Rory McIlroy vs Padraig Harrington PGA Championship Picksmajors, but rebounded with a solid showing at the Open Championship last month. McIlroy placed third at the Old Course with an eight under par 280, overcoming a horrific second day which saw the Northern Ireland native hit an 80. The third place result at St. Andrews matched McIlroy's best finish at a major as he also took third at last season's PGA Championship.

While McIlroy missed the cut in two of his last seven PGA events, he finished an average of 10th in the other five, including a win at the Wells Fargo Championship in April. McIlroy, who is 23rd on the Tour's moneylist, finished ninth in his last event, the World Golf Championships- Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club with a five under 275.

Padraig Harrington has three major championships on his resume, but he has not performed that well on the big stage this season. The Dublin native missed the cut at the Masters and Open Championship while placing 22nd at the U.S. Open. Despite those poor showings, Harrington has produced five top five finishes in 15 PGA events this year, which has him ranked 44th on the Tour's moneylist.

McIlroy is the safer pick in this head-to-head showdown. Not only has he played more consistent golf this season, he is 4-0-1 against Harrington in their last five shared tournaments where both made the cut.
