The Quick Answer
A three-leg top-20 parlay on Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy costs 38.18 cents on the dollar at Kalshi's BMW Championship board, a payout of 2.62x, or +162 in American odds. A $100 ticket returns $261.91 if all three finish in the top 20.
You build it by buying three separate contracts, each at its own price. There is no parlay button. That is the whole point: you can see exactly what every leg costs you.

The Board
BMW Championship, top-20 finish, 50 players. All 50 rungs are two-sided with size and trade inside a one-cent spread, we excluded nothing, which is rare enough to be worth saying out loud.

What The Parlays Cost
Each leg is bought at its ask. The ticket costs the product of the legs.
| Ticket | cost | payout | odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheffler + Schauffele | $0.5874 | 1.70x | −142 |
| Scheffler + McIlroy | $0.5785 | 1.73x | −137 |
| Scheffler + Schauffele + McIlroy | $0.3818 | 2.62x | +162 |
| Scheffler + Schauffele + Åberg | $0.3818 | 2.62x | +162 |
| Scheffler + Schauffele + McIlroy + Åberg | $0.2482 | 4.03x | +303 |
| Scheffler + Schauffele + McIlroy + Young | $0.2367 | 4.22x | +322 |
⭐ Every one of those prices is composed of numbers you can see. Scheffler costs 89 cents because the board says 89 cents. Nothing is rolled into a single quoted price you cannot decompose.
⛔ Read The Settlement Rule Before You Do Any Of This
These markets settle on "top 20 including ties." That is the exact wording in the contract terms, and it changes the bet materially.
Golf produces ties constantly. If four players finish tied for 19th, all four resolve YES — and so does everyone above them. More than 20 players can win a top-20 market. That is why Scheffler sits at 89 cents rather than something closer to a strict top-20 probability.
⚠️ So do not price these against a top-20 market elsewhere without checking that market's tie language. Two markets with the same name and different tie rules are not the same bet, and the one that pays ties is worth more. We are not telling you what any sportsbook charges for a top-20 finish, because we have not measured it — we are telling you what this board charges and exactly what it settles on.
⚠️ Withdrawals are handled separately too. A player who withdraws before teeing off has the market settled at fair market price; after teeing off it resolves NO.
The Thing Most Parlay Coverage Gets Wrong
Multiplying the legs assumes they are independent. They are not.
Only about 20 players can finish in the top 20. Every player who makes it takes a slot from everyone else, so top-20 finishes are negatively correlated by construction. The true probability that Scheffler, Schauffele and McIlroy all finish top 20 is lower than 0.89 × 0.66 × 0.65.
⇒ Which means the multiplied price is not a bargain — it is the ceiling. Buying three legs separately gets you the product; the real joint probability sits under it. Anyone quoting you a correlated multi-leg golf ticket at the independent price is charging you for a correlation that works against you.
We are not putting a number on how much lower, because we have not measured it. Doing that honestly needs historical PGA finishing data, and until we have run it we are not going to guess at it.
How To Read Any Board Like This
Quote the ask, not the last trade. A price nobody will currently sell at is not a price you can act on. Every figure above is live bid and ask.
Check the spread against the price. These are quoted a cent wide, which is tight — but one cent is a much larger share of a cheap contract. On a 51-cent Wyndham Clark contract a cent is 2%; on a 5-cent longshot it is 20%.
Volume tells you whether the price is current. Wyndham Clark has 13,081 contracts behind his number. A rung with 50 has a price, not a consensus.

What This Cannot Tell You
- These Are Prices, Not Predictions. We measure what the board says. We have no model of who plays well at Caves Valley.
- It Is One Tournament. The board turns over every week; this is what is live now.
- Correlation Is Unquantified Here. We have flagged that the legs are negatively correlated and deliberately have not put a figure on it.
- We Are Not Comparing To A Sportsbook. No such measurement has been run.
