Multiple major champions and several elite players seeking a first title will face a tough test at the 2025 PGA Championship starting Thursday at Quail Hollow. Rory McIlroy, seeking his second major of the year, and Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, headline the 2025 PGA Championship field. Defending champion and two-time major winner Xander Schauffele will also try to add to his impressive resume with another victory this week. There are also numerous stars in the 2025 PGA Championship lineup who haven’t won a major yet. They include Ludvig Aberg, Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland and Tommy Fleetwood. Scheffler is the +450 favorite, according to the latest 2025 PGA Championship odds.
He’s followed by Rory McIlroy (+480), Bryson DeChambeau (+1000), Schauffele (+1900) and Aberg (+1900) on the PGA odds board. Should you back one of the favorites, or should your 2025 PGA Championship bets include a longshot like Jordan Spieth (41-1) or Brooks Koepka (44-1)? Before making any 2025 PGA Championship picks, you need to see the 2025 PGA Championship predictions and best bets from golf insider Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He’s had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. He also has been solid with his head-to-head matchups since the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, going 52-37-5 and returning 11.67 units over that span. That’s a $1,167 profit for $100 bettors since May 2023.
Nejad also nailed Wyndham Clark, a +7500 longshot, as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship 2023. That year, SportsLine debuted “The Early Wedge,” and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.
Now, Nejad has turned his attention to the 2025 PGA Championship field and locked in his best bets, top 2025 PGA Championship sleeper picks and favorites to avoid for anyone deciding how to bet on the PGA Championship.

Top 2025 PGA Championship expert picks
One surprise: Nejad is completely fading Collin Morikawa, even though he is a two-time major champion and former PGA Championship winner. Length will play a major factor this week at Quail Hollow, with the course playing over 7.600 yards. That doesn’t bode well for Morikawa, who ranks 158th in driving distance at 293.1 yards.
In addition, Morikawa hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2023 and Nejad doesn’t think he can get it done this week in North Carolina. “Morikawa has been playing well, but has clearly lacked the ability to close tournaments,” Nejad told SportsLine. “I’m not going to hold the inability to close against him too much, but when I add the lack of an ideal course fit, he’s an easy pass for me.” See who to back here.
How to make 2025 PGA Championship picks, bets
Nejad has locked in his 2025 PGA Championship best bets, including a double-digit longshot. He is “an elite course fit,” so anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.
So, which players should you target for the 2025 PGA Championship, and which golfer could bring a huge payday of more than 10-1?
