World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler just won the PGA Championship for his third career major, and now he headlines the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge field this week. Scheffler has recorded three straight top-three finishes in the event, which is hosted by Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. He is the +250 favorite (risk $100 to win $250) in the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge odds, while every other golfer is priced longer than 20-1 on the PGA odds board. Jordan Spieth (22-1), Hideki Matsuyama (25-1) and Tommy Fleetwood (25-1) are in the next tier of 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge contenders.
Daniel Berger, who won this event in 2020, is also listed at 25-1. Davis Riley is the defending champion and will look to join Ben Hogan (1946-47, 1952-53) as the only back-to-back winners of the Charles Schwab Challenge. Riley, who’s going off as a 50-1 longshot this week, is one of nine former Charles Schwab winners in the field. The first round begins on Thursday at 8 a.m. ET, so which golfers should you back with your 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge bets? Before making any 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge picks, you need to see the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge predictions and best bets from golf expert Eric Cohen.
The host of Tuesday’s Early Wedge Best Bets Show on SportsLine’s YouTube page, Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in eight tournaments over the last three seasons. He correctly identified Justin Thomas to win the 2025 RBC Heritage (+1800) last month.
Cohen has also called Aaron Rai (2024 Wyndham Championship, +3300), Davis Thompson (2024 John Deere Classic, +2200), Bryson DeChambeau (2024 U.S. Open, +2000), Scottie Scheffler (2024 Players Championship, +550), Rickie Fowler (2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, +1400), Brooks Koepka (2023 PGA Championship, +2000) and Chris Kirk (2023 Honda Classic, +3500) over the last few seasons. Anyone who followed his sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting sites. New users have the opportunity to take advantage of the latest BetMGM promo code, FanDuel promo code, and Caesars Sportsbook promo code.
Now, Cohen has focused his attention on the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge field and locked in his best bets and top longshot sleepers. You can only see them here. You can also get a 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge projected leaderboard from the computer model that’s nailed 15 majors, including four straight Masters.
Top 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge expert picks
One surprise: Cohen is completely fading Jordan Spieth, even though he is a three-time major champion and the 2016 winner of this event. Spieth has one win and three runner-up finishes at Colonial, making it one of his most successful courses. However, he has been inconsistent for several years and has not finished in the top two at this course since 2021, so Cohen likes other golfers better at longer odds.
“He’s the favorite in the Without Scheffler market, yet hasn’t won an event in three years and hasn’t finished in the top-3 in an event since January 2024. A solo 4th at TPC Craig Ranch earlier this month inspires some confidence, but not at these odds. While I don’t expect Spieth to flounder as he did at Quail Hollow last week, he’s un-bettable in this market at 18-1,” Cohen told SportsLine. See who else to fade here.
Meanwhile, Cohen loves the value of Davis Riley at +4000 (risk $100 to win $4,000) in the winner without Scottie Scheffler market at DraftKings this week. Riley is the defending champion at this event, as he stunned the golf world as a 300-1 longshot. He is coming off an outstanding week at Quail Hollow Club, so his confidence will be high entering this tournament.
“His game can be electric or horrendous on a weekly basis, as evidenced by a T2 at the PGA Championship last week following a missed cut at the alternate Myrtle Beach Classic the week before. In three trips here, Riley has posted finishes of T4-MC-1, so the boom-or-bust narrative holds true yet again. At 40-1 in the without Scottie market, let’s see if he can be one of the rare players to go back-to-back at an event,” Cohen told SportsLine. See who else to back here.
How to make 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge picks
Cohen has locked in his best bets for the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge and has also selected an epic longshot who’s priced over 100-1. This golfer “has gained on approach against the field” in his last eight events with strokes gained data. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.
So which golfers should you target for the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, and which longshot could bring a huge payday of more than 100-1?

As Astros’ rotation depth dwindles, Lance McCullers Jr.’s importance intensifies
HOUSTON — Seasons of firsts still exist for those with 10 years of major-league service time, a truth Lance McCullers Jr. has lived across the past 18 days. His progress is supposed to be measured in small milestones, gradual progression from a pitcher authoring a comeback after 915 days away.Depth and dominance afforded this luxury. A surplus of starters existed upon McCullers’ return May 4, a day the Houston Astros awoke with the sport’s fourth-lowest ERA. McCullers’ mere presence provided a boost, but any immediate production seemed somewhat secondary.AdvertisementBut now, McCullers has morphed from a sentimental storyline to a sudden staple of the Astros’ starting rotation. Any thought of an elongated runway for McCullers’ return is gone. So is the notion of nudging him into a bullpen role if things blow up. Weighing what is best for McCullers against what […]

Liberty set WNBA record with scorching outside shooting performance in blowout win over Sky
Getty Images The defending champion New York Liberty have picked up right where they left off. On Thursday night, they continued their undefeated start to the season with a historic 3-point shooting performance in a 99-74 win over the Chicago Sky. Entering Thursday, the WNBA record for most 3s in a game was 18, which had been done six times, most recently by the Liberty themselves last season. Against the Sky, they one-upped themselves and made 19 3s to set the league's new single-game record. The Liberty got off to a strong start, knocking down 5 of 10 attempts from behind the arc in the first quarter, and never let up. They made at least five 3s in three of the four quarters. Nearly the entire team got involved in the act as well, with eight different players hitting at least one […]
