The seventh Signature Event of the PGA Tour season will be played at Muirfield Village Golf Club this week, as World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the 2025 Memorial Tournament field. Rory McIlroy is absent from the field with the U.S. Open just two weeks away, as he plans to play in the RBC Canadian Open next week. Scheffler won the Memorial last year and is the +280 favorite (risk $100 to win $280) in the 2025 Memorial Tournament odds. With McIlroy skipping the event, should you back Scheffler with your 2025 Memorial Tournament bets?

Other 2025 Memorial Tournament contenders include Xander Schauffele (14-1), Collin Morikawa (16-1) and Justin Thomas (18-1). Viktor Hovland won the event in 2023, and he is a 30-1 longshot on the PGA odds board. Before making any 2025 Memorial Tournament picks, you need to see the 2025 Memorial Tournament predictions and best bets from golf expert Eric Cohen

The host of Tuesday’s Early Wedge Best Bets Show on SportsLine’s YouTube page, Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in eight tournaments over the last three seasons. He correctly identified Justin Thomas to win the 2025 RBC Heritage (+1800) last month and Ben Griffin to win the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge (+4500 w/o Scheffler) last week. 

Anyone who followed his sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting sites. New users have the opportunity to take advantage of the latest BetMGM promo codeFanDuel promo code, and Caesars Sportsbook promo code.

Now, Cohen has focused his attention on the 2025 Memorial Tournament field and locked in his best bets and top longshot sleepers. You can only see them here. You can also get a 2025 Memorial Tournament projected leaderboard from the computer model that’s nailed 15 majors, including four straight Masters

Top 2025 Memorial Tournament expert picks

One surprise: Cohen is completely fading Xander Schauffele, even though he is a two-time major champion and nine-time winner on the PGA Tour. Schauffele broke through with two major victories last year, but he is still trying to regain that form this year after missing several months due to an injury. He only has one top-10 finish in eight events this season, so he does not provide value at the top of the non-Scheffler odds. 

“While his finishes in Dublin, OH have been solid, a T8 here in 2024 is Xander’s best in seven Memorial starts. While I do believe he’ll win at least once this summer, this is far from the ideal spot for that to happen. He’s a fade at the top of the non-Scheffler market for me,” Cohen told SportsLine. See who else to fade here.

Meanwhile, Cohen loves the value of Hideki Matsuyama at +2800 (risk $100 to win $2,800) in the winner without Scottie Scheffler market at DraftKings this week. Matsuyama won the Sentry in January to open his season, and he has added six top-25 finishes since then. He ranks third on the PGA Tour in scrambling and second in sand save percentage, so he is a strong fit at Muirfield Village.  

“This is a good number on a streaky player who has been fairly successful here in the past. Matsuyama gained strokes in all major categories and finished T8 last year, but won at Jack’s place in 2014, finished T5 in 2015, and solo 6th in 2019,” Cohen said. “He’s one of the best in the world around the greens, which is paramount at a tricky course like this one. I’ll take a shot with Matsuyama this week as the ultimate boom-or-bust candidate.” See who else to back here.

How to make 2025 Memorial Tournament picks

Cohen has locked in his best bets for the 2025 Memorial Tournament and has also selected an epic longshot who’s priced over 125-1. This golfer has previously won at a course designed by Jack Nicklaus. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.

So which golfers should you target for the 2025 Memorial Tournament, and which longshot could bring a huge payday of more than 125-1? Check out the 2025 Memorial Tournament odds below, then visit SportsLine to see Eric Cohen’s top picks for the 2025 Memorial Tournament, all from the expert who already nailed Justin Thomas in the RBC Heritage and Ben Griffin in the Charles Schwab Challenge.

‘Best Performance Ever’: Ohtani Sends Dodgers to World Series With Two-Way Outing for the Ages

LOS ANGELES — Freddie Freeman put his hands on top of his head. Max Muncy slapped the dugout railing with a hearty laugh.

MLB playoffs 2025: Shohei Ohtani silences the doubters, wins NLCS Game 4 all by himself in ‘The Ohtani Game’: ‘It’s just Shohei being Shohei’

LOS ANGELES — There haven’t been many times during Shohei Ohtani’s eight-year MLB career when the greatness of the undisputed best player in the world has been questioned. But given Ohtani’s struggles at the plate this postseason — he was 6-for-38 entering Game 4 on Friday — questions about his effectiveness now that he’s back to pitching and hitting full-time had begun to surface.When asked this week if pitching has started to affect his prodigious offense, leading to a dip in production, the three-time MVP didn’t seem thrilled with the questions, even though, considering his .158 average with two home runs, they had merit. And when Ohtani took batting practice this week in L.A., which he almost never does, it became clear that he felt the need to shake things up.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn Game 4 of the NLCS, Ohtani had the look […]

MLB playoffs 2025: Eugenio Suarez flips the script, brings the good vibes back to T-Mobile Park with ALCS Game 5 grand slam: ‘I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole career’

SEATTLE — Logan Gilbert didn’t want to get greedy.The Mariners had the bases loaded in a 2-2 game in the bottom of the eighth inning of ALCS Game 5 against the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-hander was standing in the dugout as a nervous spectator, just like the 46,758 fans surrounding him in the seats and concourses at T-Mobile Park.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMinutes earlier, Cal Raleigh had rejuvenated the home crowd with a roof-scraping, stadium-rattling, game-tying solo home run to left field after seven agonizing innings of minimal offensive output. The rally continued after Raleigh’s blast, with Jorge Polanco and Josh Naylor drawing walks against Toronto reliever Brendon Little and Randy Arozarena wearing a 98-mph fastball off the elbow from Seranthony Dominguez for a hit-by-pitch to load the bases.Up to the plate walked Eugenio Suarez, the lovable slugger who returned to Seattle in […]

Hearn on AJ vs Fury: Why delay the inevitable?

Anthony Joshua fighting Tyson Fury is inevitable, says promoter Eddie Hearn.Fury has indicated he wishes to end his retirement and return to boxing next year, but a trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk, rather than a long-awaited showdown with Joshua, is said to be his target. However, promoter Hearn is convinced Fury and Joshua will have to fight each other before either can realistically call for a third Usyk bout."He's a competitor just like AJ, the only person that's beat Tyson Fury is Oleksandr Usyk and he's beat him twice and he's beat him fair and square," Hearn told Sky Sports.
