Admit it—now you wish he'd won the British Open too.

Though dual 2015 major winner Jordan Spieth's mere presence for the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, ensures maximum hyperbole compared to most years, it's a far cry from how things might have looked had the Masters Tournament and U.S. Open winner made it three straight last month in Scotland at St. Andrews.

But while the single-season Grand Slam is no longer in play, the now-22-year-old Spieth—who celebrated a birthday on July 27—can still become just the fourth player in history to win at least three majors in one year and the first since Tiger Woods copped the U.S. Open, British Open and the PGA in 2000.

He's joined in Wisconsin by defending PGA champion Rory McIlroy, who missed this year's British Open thanks to ruptured ligaments in his left ankle suffered during a pickup soccer game not long after finishing tied for ninth at the U.S. Open—five shots off Spieth's championship pace.

McIlroy has four career major wins, including the PGA in both 2012 and 2014.

The 2015 event features a deep and talented pool of players that could produce a champion from almost anywhere. Not surprisingly, the pre-tournament odds reflect precisely that.

Spieth and McIlroy are the go-to choices of bettors, but they're by no means a sure thing. In fact, the pair is followed by a bunched-up field of world-class competitors who'll be collectively tested by weather, course layout and the other intangibles that creep in come major time.

Here's a look at the favorites in the eyes of Odds Shark.
