2025 PGA Championship Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jason Day

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.

Betting Outlook: 2025 PGA Championship Predictions

Day hasn't had his best stuff this season, although he's been good with the putter. Ranked 28th on par 4s and putts per round, the Aussie is 163rd in total driving, 168th in proximity and 88th at finding greens in regulation. Day is +7500 to win the 2025 PGA Championship. He's played well at this course historically, but I cannot be convinced to back him due to current tee-to-green issues.
