The 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge is set to get underway on Thursday, May 22, and several players will enter this week’s event confident they can secure the victory. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, has finished on top of the leaderboard in each of his last two starts. He’s coming off a victory at last week’s PGA Championship, claiming his third major title. He’s finished T-8 or better in five consecutive starts, and he secured a T-2 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge in 2024. Davis Riley enters this week’s event as the defending champion and is coming off a T-2 finish at the PGA Championship.
According to the latest 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge odds, Riley is a 50-1 longshot to repeat. Scheffler is going off as the +250 favorite (risk $100 to win $250), followed by Jordan Spieth (22-1), Hideki Matsuyama (25-1), Daniel Berger (25-1) and Tommy Fleetwood (25-1) on the PGA odds board.

2025 Charles Schwab Challenge predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge: Jordan Speith, a 13-time PGA Tour champion and three-time major winner, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top 10. Spieth is one of the most decorated players on the PGA Tour, but his last victory on tour came at the RBC Heritage in 2022.
The 31-year-old has three top-10 finishes in 2025, but he’s coming off a missed cut at the PGA Championship, which followed a T-34 showing at the Truist Championship. Spieth’s inconsistent results can be directly attributed to his iron play. He ranks 71st in strokes gained: approach to green (0.160) and 82nd in greens in regulation percentage (66.29%). He also ranks outside the top 50 in driving accuracy (59.80%), birdie average (3.93), strokes gained: putting (0.193) and putts per round (28.55). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Aaron Rai, a 45-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Rai doesn’t explode off the tee quite as much as some of the other top contenders, but he ranks among the best iron players on the PGA Tour. In fact, Rai currently ranks 16th in greens in regulation percentage (69.57%) and 20th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.513). He’s also extremely accurate with a driver in his hands, ranking first in driving accuracy (73.13%). If he’s striking the ball well this week, he’ll have a great shot at finishing on top of the leaderboard at Colonial Country Club. See who else to pick here. Bettors looking to take advantage of a Caesars Sportsbook promo code can get Rai to finish inside the top 10 at +325 odds.
How to make 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge picks
The model is also targeting four other golfers with odds of 45-1 or longer 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.

Thunder-Timberwolves: Anthony Edwards appears to have had enough of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s perceived foul baiting
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was second in the league to only Giannis Antetokounmpo in free-throw attempts this season, drawing criticism from some NBA corners that he's a "free-throw merchant." Is Anthony Edwards among the believers? He appeared to be fed up with Gilgeous-Alexander on multiple occasions in the first half of Tuesday's Game 1 of Western Conference finals between his Minnesota Timberwolves and Gilgeous-Alexander's Oklahoma City Thunder.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn one instance, Edwards drew a technical foul for tossing the ball in the direction of Gilgeous-Alexander's groin.In case you're unfamiliar, the "free-throw merchant" insinuation is that Gilgeous-Alexander exaggerates contact to draw fouls and get to the free-throw line. Gilgeous-Alexander spent a significant amount of time in the first quarter at the line, where he was granted seven attempts.Early in the quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander drew a foul on Jalen Williams that ended with Gilgeous-Alexander sprawled on the […]
Caitlin Clark dazzles with deep 3s in history-making performance, but supporting cast’s no-show dooms Fever
Getty Images Another night, another milestone for Caitlin Clark, who tied Courtney Vandersloot for the most games with at least 20 points and 10 assists in WNBA history on Tuesday. That was not enough, however, as the Indiana Fever fell to the Atlanta Dream, 91-90, due in large part to a no-show from Clark's supporting cast. After Rhyne Howard hit a pair of free throws to put the Dream in front with 9.7 seconds to play, Natasha Howard had two chances at the other end to win the game for the Fever. She missed them both, including an open mid-range jumper from the baseline just before the buzzer. Howard's misses summed up a brutal night for the Fever's new additions. Sophie Cunningham was sidelined again with an ankle injury while Howard, DeWanna Bonner, Sydney Colson and Brianna Turner combined for just […]
Red Sox’s Walker Buehler ejected for appearing to tell ump missed call was ‘right down the f—ing middle’
Imagn Images In looking at the box score for the Red Sox's 2-0 win over the Mets on Tuesday night, one will find that Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler only worked 2⅓ innings. Generally speaking, in a circumstance like this, that could only mean injury or ejection. In Buehler's case, it was an ejection. And he got his money's worth. It was a 1-0 pitch to Juan Soto with Francisco Lindor stealing second that home plate umpire Mike Estabrook pretty blatantly missed a strike call. He was likely thrown off by the setup of Red Sox catcher Carlos Narváez, but the bottom line is the call should have been a strike and instead was ruled a ball. It was a 0-0 game at the time with one of the most dangerous hitters at the plate, so one could easily understand Buehler's […]
Nick Saban adds new, unexpected award to his trophy case after smooth transition from Alabama sideline
Getty Images Nick Saban will have to make a little more room in his already crowded trophy case. On Tuesday, Saban won the Sports Emmy Award for "Outstanding Personality/Emerging On-Air Talent" for his work on ESPN's "College Gameday"Much like his days as the coach at Alabama, Saban had to beat out some powerhouses for the win. Former NFL players Jason Kelce, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman were also nominated in the same category, along with ex-Villanova basketball coach Jay Wright.After his retirement from coaching, Saban joined the "Gameday" crew at the start of the 2024 season. The seven-time national champion immediately brought an insightful perspective -- and a surprising amount of humor -- to his role as an analyst. Prior to his first season on the "Gameday" desk, Saban spoke with CBS Sports about his career change. At the time, […]

Indy 500 polesitter Robert Shwartzman flows on and off the track
<!--> Robert Shwartzman made headlines this past Sunday after becoming the first rookie to win the pole for the Indianapolis 500 since Teo Fabi did so in 1983. The 25-year-old Russian-Israeli driver had never competed in an oval race, outran and then outlasted a host of INDYCAR veterans en route to achieving the feat. But Schwartzman doesn't just excel on the track.A well-documented music lover, the INYDCAR rookie is a published songwriter — most notably dropping his rap song "ACTIVE" in 2023 under the name "Shwartzy." According to a previous interview he did with "Autoweek," he developed his love of music from his father. "The music thing came a long time ago from my dad," Shwartzman said in the interview. "My dad was educating me quite a lot in music, mainly classic. Nowadays, it's rare you can see any teenager or a […]
