Quail Hollow Club, a par-71 course in Charlotte, will host the 2025 PGA Championship after last hosting the major eight years ago. It was in 2017 that the PGA Championship had the highest average score to par (+2.47) per round of any tournament during the 2016-17 tour season. Just 10 players broke par, including Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed, Rickie Fowler and the winner, Justin Thomas. Meanwhile, the likes of Phil Mickelson, Cam Smith and Xander Schauffele not only missed the cut, but they all shot at least 10-over-par. What can the PGA Championship 2025 field expect when play tees off Thursday? Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are the 5-1 co-favorites in the 2025 PGA Championship odds.

The final three holes at Quail Hollow are known as the Green Mile and may be the toughest stretch in all of golf. Who should you invest your 2025 PGA Championship bets on to survive the Green Mile? Before locking in any 2025 PGA Championship picks of your own, or entering any 2025 PGA Championship DFS picks and prop bets 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 FanDuelDraftKings and Fanatics.

Now that the 2025 PGA Championship field is taking shape and fans are figuring out how to bet the PGA Championship, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard and check out the latest PGA Championship betting apps.

2025 PGA Championship predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the PGA Championship 2025: Xander Schauffele, the defending champion and a two-time major winner, stumbles and barely cracks the top 10. Schauffele has racked up nine career wins on the PGA Tour and has made the cut in 62 consecutive tournaments the longest such streak since Tiger Woods’ historic run (142 straight) from 1998 to 2005.

However, Schauffele has recorded just one top-10 finish this season after dealing with rib injury earlier in the year. The 31-year-old has struggled mightily with a putter in his hands, ranking 142nd in putting average (1.772), 156th in one-putt percentage (38.19%) and 161st in strokes gained: putting (-0.475). He’s also been ineffective off the tee, ranking 148th in total driving (228) and 162nd in strokes gained: off the tee (-0.439). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 PGA Championship field.

Another surprise: Tyrell Hatton, a 50-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Hatton had a solid showing at the year’s first major, finishing 14th at the Masters. That was the start of three straight top 15s at worldwide tournaments for the Englishman, so he’s entering the PGA Championship with momentum. Hatton, however, hasn’t just finished near the top of the leaderboard, as he’s finished at the very top in recent months, as he has three event victories since June 2024, including a European Tour win earlier this year.

Hatton has also notched top 15 finishes in two of his last three PGA Championship starts. He brings an impressive course history into the year’s second major, having last played at Quail Hollow Club in May 2023. At the Wells Fargo Championship at that course, he finished third, shooting under par in each round. There are lots of things to like about Hatton, which makes him very attractive with golf bets, considering he isn’t even among the 15 players with the shortest PGA Championship odds.See who else to pick here

How to make 2025 PGA Championship picks

The model is also targeting three other 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.

Who will win the 2025 PGA Championship, and which longshots will stun the golfing world?

Maple Leafs pushed to brink of elimination after Game 5 loss to Panthers: Takeaways

TORONTO — Game 7 came early this season.With their season and, quite likely, the future of their core on the line in Game 5, the Toronto Maple Leafs failed to show up on home ice against the Florida Panthers.There were zero positives to find in a humiliating 6-1 loss Wednesday that saw the team play all the old hits for a crowd that knows them well. Most of the lineup tightened up, their stars did not produce, their goaltending faltered at times and their effort was shockingly poor.AdvertisementShot attempts at five-on-five ended with a 66-44 advantage for the Panthers, per Natural Stat Trick. The numbers matched the eye test, provided Leafs fans hadn’t always closed their eyes in horror.Yes, the Leafs could still have two chances to win this series if they can force a Game 7.

Boston cut its series deficit to 3-2 with Game 6 to be played on Friday night in New York.Whether the Celtics could win on Tuesday was in considerable doubt after leading scorer Jayson Tatum was lost for the remainder of the postseason (and likely all of next season) with a torn right Achilles tendon suffered during Monday's 121-113 defeat in Game 4.
