The 2025 PGA Championship will take place at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte beginning on Thursday. The season’s second major promises even more fireworks after a thrilling finish at the 2025 Masters. Rory McIlroy ended a nearly 10-year major drought and completed a career grand slam in a playoff against Justin Rose at Augusta National. Now, McIlroy (+470) will try to keep the momentum going, while Rose will look to build on a string of strong performances at majors. Rose has produced four top-10 finishes and hasn’t finished worse than 13th in his last five PGA Championship starts, but he’s still a surprising 90-1 longshot at Quail Hollow according to the latest 2025 PGA Championship odds from DraftKings Sportsbook. Which 2025 PGA Championship longshots are worth a sprinkle this week on a golf course that has hosted 30 PGA Tour events since 1969?

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.

Now that the 2025 PGA Championship field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and revealed its longshot betting picks:

Patrick Cantlay (44-1)

The 33-year-old is currently ranked No. 14 in the Official World Golf Ranking and has ranked as high as No. 3 in the world in his career, making him one of the best players yet to win a major. That’s a dubious distinction that his good friend Xander Schauffele managed to shake with a pair of major championship victories last year and Cantlay is the sort of talent that could kick down that door in a similar fashion.

He’s an eight-time PGA Tour winner and he’s made the cut in 28 of the 32 major championships that he’s played. He’s been top 25 in half of those major starts and has five top-10 finishes, including a t-3rd at the 2019 PGA Championship. Cantlay finished t-33rd in the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow after a five-year major championship layoff because of injuries and personal tragedy. He’s also been top 30 in both of his Wells Fargo Championship starts at Quail Hollow. FanDuel currently offers the best price on Cantlay to win.

Tyrrell Hatton (50-1)

Hatton is also still chasing his first career major championship, but he’s a 13-time winner worldwide and he’s piled up six top-10 finishes in majors overall. He missed the cut at the 2017 PGA Championship but he’s since experienced success at Quail Hollow, finishing t-3rd at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship there.

The 33-year-old Englishman was t-14th at the Masters last month and also scored a win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January on the DP World Tour. He’s been top 25 in eight of his nine starts around the world this season and he ranks second on his tour this season by hitting 73.81% of greens in regulation. Once again, it’s FanDuel offering the best 2025 PGA Championship odds on Hatton.

Justin Thomas (25-1)

Thomas won his first major championship at Quail Hollow in the 2017 PGA Championship and then added another PGA Championship victory at Southern Hills in 2022. However, he went nearly three years winless following that win before scoring his 16th PGA Tour win at the RBC Heritage last month.

Now he’s all the way back up to No. 5 in the world rankings following a t-2nd last week in the Truist Championship. Thomas has a victory and two runner-up finishes in his last three starts and he’s never finished worse than t-26th in six career starts at Quail Hollow. Despite his recent successes and his history at Quail Hollow, you can still get 25-1 on Thomas to win at Caesars.

F1 Singapore GP live updates: FP2 latest at Marina Bay, after Fernando Alonso was fastest in FP1

The heat index is expected to be above 31C (87.8F) sometime during the race.So what does this all mean?‘Heat Hazard’ is a relatively new term in the F1 world. Many drivers experienced physical symptoms after a hot Qatar GP in 2023, with temperatures around 32C (90F) and humidity at 70 percent.

Why Sean McVay felt ‘sick’ over failed fourth-down play call in Rams’ overtime loss to 49ers

Getty Images Facing a depleted San Francisco 49ers team on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Rams still came up short, 23-20 in overtime, when running back Kyren Williams was stuffed on fourth down. After the game, Rams coach Sean McVay was extremely critical of his own decision-making on the final play.Instead of kicking a field goal on 4th-and-1 at the 49ers' 11-yard line to tie the game, McVay went for the win, but the 49ers were ready for it and met Williams in the backfield to stop him well short of the sticks for the win. In his postgame press conference, McVay said he didn't regret the decision to go for it on fourth down but was "sick" over his play selection."We came in here to try to win the football game," McVay said. "It didn't go down for us. That wasn't even […]

Three questions for the Padres’ offseason

CHICAGO — Last summer, as the San Diego Padres went from a .500 team to the winningest second-half outfit in the majors, a sense of joy attended their run toward the postseason. They pitched. They hit. They repeatedly did both at the same time. They rallied from deficits large and small. It quickly became a season to remember, even though it ended in gut-wrenching fashion.AdvertisementThursday night inside Wrigley Field’s visiting clubhouse, the Padres insisted that this year’s club was just as tight-knit. The product on the field, however, had been noticeably more disjointed. A slog of a summer had turned into an all-too-brief jaunt in the playoffs. Another tantalizing opportunity had flown by for a core of aging players.Next year, everyone will be even older and, San Diego can hope, wiser for the experience. This sport has repeatedly shown that […]

Brendan Shanahan stands behind ‘Shanaplan,’ says he still hopes it pays off for Maple Leafs

TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs may have moved on from Brendan Shanahan, but the team’s former president can’t quit them.Speaking publicly for the first time since the organization parted ways with him on May 22, Shanahan took the high road when interviewed for the fourth episode of the newly released season of “Faceoff: Inside the NHL” docuseries on Prime Video.Advertisement“Sure, you’re going to have decisions that you’d like to have back, but I think what we’ve built, I’m confident that they can still get the job done,” Shanahan said. “Unfortunately, I won’t be around to see it finished, but it would give me a lot of joy to see them finish it.”Shanahan grew up a diehard Leafs fan in Mimico, a pocket of the city adjacent to the team’s current practice facility.
