Scottie Scheffler is returning home after his PGA Championship victory, similarly to what Rory McIlroy did after his Masters title in the first two majors of the year. But unlike McIlroy, Scheffler isn’t immediately taking time off. Scheffler spent the majority of his childhood in Texas and returns to the Lone Star State for the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, which tees off from Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth on Thursday. Scheffler, who won his third career major in taking the PGA Championship on Sunday, is the +250 favorite, according to the latest 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge odds. Every other golfer in the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge field has odds longer than 20-1.
Scheffler’s presence generates the opportunity for significant longshots though. Scheffler, the world’s No. 1, is a sizeable favorite for good reason, but if you enjoy using longshots in PGA Tour bets, you should be happy he’s there to garner the majority of action. Davis Riley won last year’s Charles Schwab Challenge in one of the most surprising results of the PGA Tour season, so could another longshot take the title this year? Riley is a 50-1 longshot to repeat in the latest 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge odds.
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 15 majors entering the weekend, including the 2025 Masters — its fourth Masters in a row — and the 2025 PGA Championship.
Now that the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and revealed its longshot betting picks. New users have the opportunity to take advantage of the latest FanDuel promo code, DraftKings promo code and Fanatics Sportsbook promo code.
Aaron Rai (45-1)
The 30-year-old is coming off tying his best finish at a major, finishing T19 at the PGA Championship. It was his third straight top-25 result in a PGA Tour event. Rai had a strong first round of the PGA Championship with a 4-under 67, which was tied for the fourth-best score on the day.
Rai, the 2024 Wyndham Champion, is the most accurate driver on the PGA Tour this season, which has especially aided him to excel on Par 4s with the sixth-best scoring average on Par 4 holes. He finished T12 at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge. He’s finished in the top four in five tournaments since the start of the 2023 PGA Tour season, and given this field and his odds, Rai is a live longshot this weekend.
J.J. Spaun (50-1)
The 34-year-old has two runner-up results this year, including falling in a playoff to Rory McIlroy at The Players Championship. He won’t have McIlroy to worry about this week, and if he can open the Charles Schwab Challenge like he did the Players, Scheffler may be the only golfer who can catch him. Spaun shot a 6-under-par 66 in his first round, followed by a 68 in Round 2, at the Players.
He’s 13th in the FedEx Cup standings and ranks 16th on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained, highlighted by ranking fourth in strokes gained: approach to green. Spaun ranks sixth on the PGA Tour in total driving as an above-average driver for distance and accuracy to put himself in a position for high-quality second shots. Bettors looking to take advantage of a Caesars Sportsbook promo code can get Spaun to finish inside the top 10 at +400 odds.
Ryan Gerard (70-1)
The 25-year-old had an impressive showing at his first PGA Championship and just his third major of all time, finishing T8 last weekend. He opened the PGA Championship with a 5-under 66 and shot 72 or lower in all four rounds for an impressive showing on a huge stage. This week’s field won’t be nearly as daunting for the young Gerrard, and many of the top competitors on the PGA Tour skipping this weekend certainly help his chances to win.
Gerard hasn’t claimed a PGA Tour title yet entering his 40th event, but he was a runner-up at the Valero Texas Open in April. He finished ninth the week before at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, so he’s had success in the Lone Star State. He is 14th on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained and eighth in birdie average. At 70-1 odds, the model sees value in backing Gerard in your 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge bets. Bettors looking to take advantage of a bet365 bonus code can get Gerard to be the leader after Round 1 at +5500.

Even White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. knows he’s not a great trade candidate right now
Imagn Images After last year's 121-loss disaster, the Chicago White Sox are regular old bad this season rather than historically awful. Their 14-34 record puts them on pace to lose 115 games, which is obviously terrible, but is nothing the Baltimore Orioles didn't do during their recent rebuild. Consider the 115-loss pace progress, I suppose. The White Sox were expected to be very bad and, in the end, what difference does it make if you lose 110 or 115 or 121 games? For Chicago, this season is all about the development of their young players, and the veterans they can cash in as trade chips at the deadline. Utility men Josh Rojas, Austin Slater, and miscellaneous depth pitchers are expected to generate interest around the league. Chicago's top trade chip should be center felder Luis Robert Jr., who slugged 38 home […]

Pleite gegen Dänemark – WM-Drama! Deutschland raus nach Penalty-Schießen
Das war nichts für schwache Nerven!Deutschland ist bei der Eishockey-WM nach einem dramatischen Spiel gegen Gastgeber Dänemark ausgeschieden. Das Team unterlag mit 0:2 im Penaltyschießen. Nach der regulären Spielzeit hatte es 1:1 gestanden.Es ist das erwartet schwere Spiel gegen die Dänen. Und zunächst läuft bei unseren Jungs nicht viel zusammen. Wenige Kombinationen, kein flüssiges Spiel. Überraschung bei der Aufstellung: Trainer Harry Kreis (66) lässt Marcel Noebels (33, Berlin) als 13. Stürmer zunächst auf der Ersatzbank schmoren. Dafür rückt Yasin Ehliz (32, München) wieder in die Reihe neben Leo Pföderl (31, Berlin) und Josh Samanski (23, Straubing). Erst in der 14. Minute kommt der Berliner dann zu einem Kurzeinsatz. Im ersten Drittel nur knapp über eine Minute Eiszeit für den Vizeweltmeister von 2023. Unverständlich!Die Dänen anfangs viel gefährlicher mit 14:5 Torschüssen. Wir können uns bei Torwart Philipp Grubauer (33, Seattle) bedanken, […]
Dominant Man City beat Bournemouth on De Bruyne’s Etihad farewell
Kevin De Bruyne bid farewell in his final home game as Manchester City eased to a 3-1 win over Bournemouth to close in on a top-five finish.Pep Guardiola said pre-match that distractions would only be harmful to his side's chances of securing Champions League football - neither De Bruyne's Etihad goodbye nor Rodri's first appearance in a matchday squad since September should disturb the task at hand. FA Cup final disappointment - just three short days ago - was swiftly displaced by the top-five mission, as Omar Marmoush rifled a spectacular opener in the 14th minute and Bernardo Silva added a well-taken second - but not before a glaring De Bruyne miss.

10 highest-paid NFL QBs after Brock Purdy’s big-money extension
<!--> The San Francisco 49ers locked down their franchise quarterback earlier this week, agreeing to a five-year, $265 million extension with quarterback Brock Purdy. This continues the trend of the 49ers keeping their offensive core intact, as they've extended Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle over the past year.This extension also continues the trend of NFL teams signing their quarterbacks to long-term deals at least one year before they hit the open market, with the average quarterback salary continuing to rise.With Purdy's extension now in the bag, here are the 10 highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL — once Purdy's deal kicks in.Contract: Five-year, $260 million deal ($52 million per season)Date signed: April 2023What's happened since the contract was signed: Baltimore signed up for the best version of Jackson, and that's precisely what it has received.
