Rory McIlroy returns to the course for the 2025 Truist Championship, previously known as the Wells Fargo Championship, following his moving victory at the Masters. McIlroy stands as the solid favorite with odds at 4-1, according to the latest figures from DraftKings Sportsbook. Action kicks off on Thursday, May 8, at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
Several notable longshots are in contention for this year’s championship, given that several elite golfers are absent due to the forthcoming major tournament. Sam Stevens, who placed third in his last outing, is given +9000 odds at winning the Truist Championship. He’s demonstrated high performance by making the cut in five of his past six tournaments. Likewise, Byeong Hun An, who also finished third in the prior year’s Wells Fargo Championship, carries a 55-1 chance this week, making him a potential choice for your bets.
The model developed by DFS expert Mike McClure has excelled since the PGA Tour returned in June 2020. It has increased more than $9,000 on its top picks, pinpointing one major event after another. This same framework has also successfully predicted 14 major tournaments, including the 2025 Masters and last year’s U.S. Open.
Tommy Fleetwood (28-1)
Fleetwood has recently displayed formidable performances, finishing seventh at the RBC Heritage and achieving six finishes ranked above 21st in his past seven tournaments. Although he is still seeking his first victory with a career tally of 0-for-153, he currently ranks 12th on the PGA Tour for total strokes gained.
Corey Conners (30-1)
After a T-8 finish at this year’s Masters, highlighted by a commendable first round, Conners has sustained consistent under-par scores, putting him firmly in the discussion for longshot bets this weekend.
Daniel Berger (40-1)
Berger, following a strong showing at the RBC Heritage and the Masters, remains a strong contender with significant potential for accomplishing a longshot victory, ranking high in strokes gained statistics.
