2025 PGA Championship Odds, Picks & Predictions: Sepp Straka

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

Sepp Straka has competed in the Wells Fargo Championship three times with mixed results. In 2022 and 2023, he had brutal performances and missed the cut, but in 2024, he was on point and finished T-8. Overall, the PGA Championship hasn't been great for him. While he has a top-10 finish, he's finished outside of the top 60 twice and missed a cut.

Recent Form

Straka is coming off a win at the Truist Championship, where he had a two-stroke lead going into the day. Straka would lose that lead, allowing Shane Lowry a chance to win the tournament. However, Lowry would bogey two of the final three holes, tying with Straka, and he would win in a playoff.

Betting Outlook: 2025 PGA Championship Predictions

Straka has a lot of momentum going into this tournament, with his second win of the year and 10 top-25 finishes. We've already seen him finish inside the top 10 at Quail Hollow, and he could find himself there again.
