The seventh Signature Event of the PGA Tour season will be played at Muirfield Village Golf Club this week, as World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the 2025 Memorial Tournament field. Rory McIlroy is absent from the field with the U.S. Open just two weeks away, as he plans to play in the RBC Canadian Open next week. Scheffler won the Memorial last year and is the +280 favorite (risk $100 to win $280) in the 2025 Memorial Tournament odds. With McIlroy skipping the event, should you back Scheffler with your 2025 Memorial Tournament bets?

Other 2025 Memorial Tournament contenders include Xander Schauffele (14-1), Collin Morikawa (16-1) and Justin Thomas (18-1). Viktor Hovland won the event in 2023, and he is a 30-1 longshot on the PGA odds board. Before making any 2025 Memorial Tournament picks, you need to see the 2025 Memorial Tournament 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 and Ben Griffin to win the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge (+4500 w/o Scheffler) last week. 

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 codeFanDuel promo code, and Caesars Sportsbook promo code.

Now, Cohen has focused his attention on the 2025 Memorial Tournament field and locked in his best bets and top longshot sleepers. You can only see them here. You can also get a 2025 Memorial Tournament projected leaderboard from the computer model that’s nailed 15 majors, including four straight Masters

Top 2025 Memorial Tournament expert picks

One surprise: Cohen is completely fading Xander Schauffele, even though he is a two-time major champion and nine-time winner on the PGA Tour. Schauffele broke through with two major victories last year, but he is still trying to regain that form this year after missing several months due to an injury. He only has one top-10 finish in eight events this season, so he does not provide value at the top of the non-Scheffler odds. 

“While his finishes in Dublin, OH have been solid, a T8 here in 2024 is Xander’s best in seven Memorial starts. While I do believe he’ll win at least once this summer, this is far from the ideal spot for that to happen. He’s a fade at the top of the non-Scheffler market for me,” Cohen told SportsLine. See who else to fade here.

Meanwhile, Cohen loves the value of Hideki Matsuyama at +2800 (risk $100 to win $2,800) in the winner without Scottie Scheffler market at DraftKings this week. Matsuyama won the Sentry in January to open his season, and he has added six top-25 finishes since then. He ranks third on the PGA Tour in scrambling and second in sand save percentage, so he is a strong fit at Muirfield Village.  

“This is a good number on a streaky player who has been fairly successful here in the past. Matsuyama gained strokes in all major categories and finished T8 last year, but won at Jack’s place in 2014, finished T5 in 2015, and solo 6th in 2019,” Cohen said. “He’s one of the best in the world around the greens, which is paramount at a tricky course like this one. I’ll take a shot with Matsuyama this week as the ultimate boom-or-bust candidate.” See who else to back here.

How to make 2025 Memorial Tournament picks

Cohen has locked in his best bets for the 2025 Memorial Tournament and has also selected an epic longshot who’s priced over 125-1. This golfer has previously won at a course designed by Jack Nicklaus. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.

So which golfers should you target for the 2025 Memorial Tournament, and which longshot could bring a huge payday of more than 125-1?

Brewers Searching For ‘A Little Spark’ as Dodgers Move One Win From Return to World Series

LOS ANGELES — On Wednesday afternoon, sitting in every Milwaukee player’s locker in the visiting clubhouse at Dodger Stadium was a laminated note from their manager, who attempted to instill confidence in a young group staring at a 2-0 hole in the National League Championship Series. Pat Murphy wanted to deliver a message from the heart, to remind a Brewers team that had the best record in baseball this year of the opportunity still ahead as the series shifted to the reigning champions’ venue. "Greatness isn’t found on the easy path," part of the message from Murphy read. "It’s earned in moments like this. Keep going. You’re not alone. And you’re not done."A day later, they still aren’t done yet. But their road forward is significantly more onerous after their lineup mustered just one run for a third straight game, again unable […]
