Over his last 24 major starts, Jon Rahm has placed in the top 10 in half of them. That includes two major wins, but it also includes two missed cuts, both of which came at the PGA Championship. Quail Hollow Club will host the 2025 PGA Championship starting on Thursday, and the Spaniard doesn’t have the best history with the North Carolina course. He has played it twice before, with a missed cut in one start and a 58th-place finish in the other, so what should you make of Rahm in your 2025 PGA Championship predictions?

Rahm is one of several golfers in the 2025 PGA Championship field seeking a third major championship, a list that also includes Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas. Can Rahm overcome his course history and recent results at this major by rising up the 2025 PGA Championship leaderboard? Before locking in your 2025 PGA Championship picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 14 majors entering the weekend, including the 2025 Masters, its fourth Masters in a row, and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuelDraftKings and Fanatics

Now that the 2025 PGA Championship field is locked in and fans are deciding where to bet the PGA Championship, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard and get the latest PGA Championship promo codes.

2025 PGA Championship predictions for Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele

One shocker the model is calling at the PGA Championship 2025: Xander Schauffele, the defending champion and a two-time major winner, barely cracks the top 10 of the leaderboard. Schauffele broke through for his first major title at the PGA Championship in 2024, beating DeChambeau by one stroke. He went on to win the Open Championship at Royal Troon last July, but he hasn’t tasted victory since. 

Schauffele dealt with a rib injury early in 2025 that caused him to miss two months of action. The 31-year-old has recorded just one top-10 finish this season, and he’s been widely inconsistent off the tee, which will be a major issue at a course like Quail Hollow. Schauffele enters the 2025 PGA Championship ranked 158th in driving accuracy (54.17%) and 162nd in strokes gained: off the tee (-0.439). He also ranks outside the top 150 in scoring average (71.04), scrambling (55.80%) and one-putt percentage (38.19%). Schauffele is going off at 19-1 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The model has also locked in its projection for Rory McIlroy, a five-time major winner and the newest Grand Slam champion. McIlroy has had plenty of success at Quail Hollow throughout his career. He has finished on top of the leaderboard four times at Quail Hollow, while also recording a runner-up finish and four other top-10 finishes.

McIlroy has won the PGA Championship twice in his career, and he has been in strong form thus far in 2025. He ranks in the top 10 in several important statistical categories, including stories gained: total (2.319), strokes gained: off the tee (0.855), scoring average (68.96) and putting average (1.690). McIlroy’s familiarity with the course, coupled with his recent play, is a big reason why he’s among the top favorites to win the 2025 PGA Championship.

Meanwhile, the model has examined Scottie Scheffler’s chances of winning his first major outside of Augusta National. He began the year underperforming by his standards, notching just two top 10s over his first five starts. But Scheffler has returned to form since then with four straight top 10s, highlighted by a record performance at the Byron Nelson. Scheffler tied the all-time PGA Tour record by shooting a 253 as he’ll enter the 2025 PGA Championship with momentum, but also looking for his first major success outside of the Masters.

Scheffler has made the cut in 18 of his last 19 major starts, with the one missed cut coming at the PGA Championship in 2022. He does have top 10s in back-to-back starts at the major since then, but he also doesn’t have the best course history at Quail Hollow. Scheffler has yet to play an official PGA event at the course but he was a part of the winning U.S. Team at the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow. However, Scheffler may have had the feeling of one who contributes nothing to a group project but still gets an “A” as he went winless across his four matches, despite being the No. 1 player in the world at the event. See the full PGA Championship projections from the model here.

How to make 2025 PGA Championship picks

The model is also targeting four golfers with odds longer than 20-1 who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.

Canelo Alvarez is singled out as the cause of eliminating emotions in the super middleweight division

Canelo Alvarez has been the king of the super middleweights since 2018, when he won his first title in the 168-pound division. During this time he has faced opponents with different qualities and has beaten them clearly, although since 2019 he has not achieved a knockout victory or since 2021 by TKO. For several boxing analysts, this is because Canelo has had opponents who are not up to the level of a world champion. His last six fights have been won by "unanimous decision".On September 13, the Mexican will defend his belts against the four-time world champion, Terence Crawford, in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a fight that could clear his name from criticism from experts and fans alike. However, the American belongs to the welterweight division (147 pounds) which means having to move up three divisions to face Canelo Alvarez, […]

Karrueche Tran confirms relationship with Deion Sanders in a subtle but forceful way

Karrueche Tran has long been the subject of speculation when it comes to her personal life, but her latest remarks have all but confirmed what many suspected, she is happily dating, and the man in question appears to be none other than NFL legend and Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.The actress and model joined her friend Christina Milian on the What's Next with J. Ryan podcast, where the host pressed her about recent rumors linking her to the world of football. "Is she dating right now?" Ryan asked, before slyly adding, "I saw that you took a liking into football recently."Tran, 37, paused with a smile before answering simply, "Yeah, I'm dating." When asked if she was enjoying herself, she didn't hesitate. "If I wasn't having fun, I wouldn't be in it," she said, while Milian jokingly chimed in with, […]

Micah Parsons strikes again at Jerry Jones with a warning following his multi-million dollar deal with the Packers

The Dallas Cowboys spent months insisting they would not budge on Micah Parsons' contract demands. Now, their former defensive cornerstone is suiting up in green and gold, armed with a record-breaking contract and a few pointed words that leave little doubt about where the breakdown began.Parsons, traded to the Green Bay Packers in one of the most stunning moves of the offseason, signed a four-year, $188 million deal that instantly made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal includes $120 million guaranteed at signing and a $44 million signing bonus, numbers that underline just how far Dallas was from meeting his value. For the 26-year-old, the new chapter is not just about money, it's about respect."I would never leave the best agent in the world! It's just that simple!" Parsons wrote on X, thanking agent David Mulugheta for […]

Těžká chvíle pro Muchovou. Zaskočil ji bývalý přítel, rozhozená tenistka ho prosila, aby opustil hlediště

Kdo ví, jak by zápas dopadl, pokud by Muchová neustála nepříjemný moment ze šestého gamu úvodní sady za stavu 1:4. Devětadvacetiletá hráčka za stavu 30:30 začala gestikulovat do hlediště, po vyhrané výměně se jí oči zalily slzami, takže chvíli nemohla pokračovat. „Jste v pořádku?“ ptala se sudí na umpireu a Muchová naznačila, že ano. Po gamu si ještě utřela obličej ručníkem. Komentátoři zápasu spekulovali, zda obhájkyně semifinále nemá nějaké zdravotní potíže, ale problém byl psychického rázu.„Netýká se to tenisu, takže se o tom nerada bavím. Ale naproti mé lavičce si sednul můj expřítel, který se občas objevuje na místech, kde by neměl být a kde jsem já. Takže mě to trošku vystrašilo, ale řekla jsem mu, jestli může jít pryč.
