2025 PGA Championship Odds, Picks & Predictions: Daniel Berger

by |

Rory McIlroy's thrilling victory at The Masters last month set up some compelling storylines for the second major of the season, the 2025 PGA Championship, which will be played this week at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.

McIlroy completed the career grand slam with his win at Augusta. If he wins again this week, he'll be halfway to a true grand slam. McIlroy has fared well at Quail Hollow throughout his career, having won four tournaments there. It's a course that favors big hitters — right up McIlroy's alley.

But McIlroy isn't even the favorite this week. That would be Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world. Scheffler cruised to an eight-shot victory at his most recent event, the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Will golf fans be treated to a duel between McIlroy and Scheffler? Or will other top players intervene? Defending PGA champ Xander Schauffele is certainly capable of repeating. Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg have been hot lately. LIV Tour star Bryson DeChambeau has been frisky in recent majors, and other LIV players — Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Tyrrell Hatton and others — could contend.

Course History

Daniel Berger played in the PGA Championship the last time it was at Quail Hollow in 2017, but failed to make the cut. His history at the PGA Championship has not been great.

Since 2015, he has entered the tournament eight times, the last being in 2022. He failed to make the cut three times (including 2022). He finished T-75 the last time he finished the tournament. Berger’s best finish was T-12 in 2018.

Recent Form

So far, in 2025, Beger has made the cut in 10 of the 12 tournaments he has entered. He finished in the top 25 in nine and in the top 10 in two.

Berger’s best finish this year was a runner-up result at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He has finished inside the top 30 of every tournament he has made the cut this season.

Betting Outlook: 2025 PGA Championship Predictions

Berger is not going to excite anyone as a legit contender to win the PGA Championship. But he has been playing at a fairly consistent level this season.

I would not bet on him to finish in the top five or 10, but after seeing him finish T-11 last weekend at the Truist Championship and T-3 at RBC Heritage, I feel good betting on him to finish in the top 20.
