For the second time since 2017, the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte will host a major championship when the 2025 PGA Championship gets underway on Thursday, May 15. The course also hosts the annual Wells Fargo Championship and was originally designed by George Cobb in 1961. The course has undergone several renovations, including redesign work by Arnold Palmer in 1986 and Tom Fazio in 1997, 2003, and 2013-2016. Quail Hollow also hosted the 2017 PGA Championship won by Justin Thomas. He is slated to be back in the 2025 PGA Championship field, but is a +2000 (risk $100 to win $2000) longshot in the latest 2025 PGA Championship odds.
Is it worth taking a flyer on Thomas at the PGA Championship 2025? Should you instead back one of the favorites like Scottie Scheffler (5-1), Rory McIlroy (5-1), Bryson DeChambeau (10-1), or Ludvig Aberg (12-1)? Before locking in any 2025 PGA Championship picks of your own, or entering any 2025 PGA Championship DFS picks on sites like FanDuel, DraftKings, and PrizePicks, be sure to see the early 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 nearly $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 FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.
Now that the 2025 PGA Championship field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
2025 PGA Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the PGA Championship 2025: Collin Morikawa (14-1), a two-time major winner, including being the 2020 PGA champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles and barely cracks the top 10. Morikawa is coming off a 14th-place tie at the Masters, marking the third straight major tournament he failed to place in the top 10. This ties the longest drought of his career, and he’s failed to even crack the top 25 in two of his last three PGA Championship starts.
Quail Hollow checks in at over 7,500 yards, making it the sixth-longest course in the 2025 PGA Tour season. That length could be an issue for Morikawa, who ranks just 163rd (out of 183 qualified golfers) in driving distance. Morikawa is also struggling in the short game, as once he steps foot onto the green, he ranks just 128th in total putting. It’s been 18 months since Morikawa won any event on any tour, and the model isn’t high on his prospects for the 2025 PGA Championship.
Another surprise: Patrick Cantlay, a 28-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 33-year-old is still looking for his first major championship, but has come close several times, with five career top-10 finishes at majors. At the 2017 PGA Championship (also at Quail Hollow), Cantlay made his first career major appearance and finished T33.
Cantlay is currently ranked 16th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He has made the cut in all eight events he’s played in this year, and he has four top-15 finishes in 2025. Cantlay also currently ranks 15th on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained (1.185), and 18th in both strokes gained tee-to-green (0.964) and strokes gained on approach (0.598). See who else to pick here.
How to make 2025 PGA Championship picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 18-1 or longer 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.
Who will win the 2025 PGA Championship, and which longshots will stun the golfing world?

Jamal Murray’s breakout game changes calculus for Nuggets: ‘He was born for this’
DENVER — The beauty of Jamal Murray has always been his ability to stay even-keeled and confident. And perhaps we should have all seen those traits coming.He was pushed relentlessly as a kid when he was coached by his father, Roger. Murray used to practice game-winning shots in his driveway. And he has been put in pressure situations at each level of basketball and has consistently delivered.AdvertisementMurray’s ascension into an elite playoff riser for the Denver Nuggets is borne from making big shots and plays for as long as he can remember. Murray has never been scared. He has always had a short memory, never allowed failure to deter him and has always been able to move on to the next play or game.In this first-round series against the LA Clippers, he’s had his issues, particularly against the overbearing defense […]
