The last time the PGA Championship was at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte was 2017. That year, Justin Thomas was experiencing a breakout season, as he won the event for the first time en route to five wins on tour. He has since won another PGA Championship in 2022, but has not won more than two events in a single season. After winning the RBC Heritage last month in a playoff, Thomas is looking to win his second event of the year at the 2025 PGA Championship. Oddsmakers, however, have him at 21-1, tied for the seventh-best 2025 PGA Championship odds with Collin Morikawa.
Scottie Scheffler is the +450 favorite, followed by Rory McIlroy (+480) and Bryson DeChambeau (+1000). 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 FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.
Now that the 2025 PGA Championship field is locked in, 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 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. The PGA Championship is the only major McIlroy has won more than once, though it’s been over a decade since his second victory. He’s been unequivocally the best player in the world this year, as he has three victories, while no other player has more than one on the PGA Tour. McIlroy finished 22nd when Quail Hollow last hosted this major and hasn’t secured a top-5 finish at the PGA Championship in each of his last 10 starts, but he does own a pair of victories at the course, courtesy of the Wells Fargo.
Meanwhile, the model has examined Scottie Scheffler’s chances of winning his first major outside of Augusta National. His best finish at a PGA Championship came in 2023, when he took second. He also took second at the 2022 U.S. Open and finished seventh at the The Open Championship in 2024. He has registered 19 wins as a professional since turning pro in 2018, including 14 on the PGA Tour.
In 139 career events played, he has made the cut 120 times. Scheffler enters the tournament as the top-ranked golfer on the PGA Tour, and is coming off a win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, where he won by eight strokes. It was his first win of the season after starting the year sidelined after having shards of glass removed from his hand following a Christmas dinner mishap. 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.

Former Cowboys Pro Bowler getting tryout with Raiders during rookie minicamp, per report
Getty Images A former Pro Bowl linebacker will be taking part in the Las Vegas Raiders' minicamp. Jaylon Smith, a former Dallas Cowboys second-round pick who hasn't played in a regular season game since 2023, is participating in the Raiders' minicamp on a tryout basis. Smith, 29, was drafted by the Cowboys back in 2016 with the understanding he would miss the entire season after he tore both his ACL and MCL during his final college game. In 2017, Smith made up for lost time by recording 81 tackles, two forced fumbles and a sack while being a part-time starter on Dallas' defense. He became a full-time starter in 2018 and played an integral role in the Cowboys' NFC East division title and divisional round playoff appearance. Smith then enjoyed two more highly productive seasons with the Cowboys that included his first […]
