2025 PGA Championship Odds, Picks & Predictions: Scottie Scheffler

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

Scottie Scheffler has little experience playing at Quail Hollow, but he won the 2022-23 Presidents Cup at this course. The World No. 1 has logged three top-10 finishes at the PGA Championship since 2021, along with a rare missed cut at Southern Hills Country Club in 2022.

Recent Form

We saw Scheffler’s breakthrough with his first outright win in 2025 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. He scorched TPC Craig Ranch for -31-under-par, winning by eight strokes at his hometown course.

Ranked first in total strokes gained, including third SG: Off-the-Tee and 1st SG: Approach, Scheffler is also first in proximity, first in scrambling and first in scoring average.

Betting Outlook: 2025 PGA Championship Predictions

Scheffler remains the betting favorite heading to Quail Hollow at +400 odds. He's coming off his best performance of the season and did not play at the Truist Championship, which gave Scheffler time to rest and prepare for the second major of the year.

I'd bet a full unit on Scheffler to continue his rampage as a +400 favorite to win at Quail Hollow this week.
