The 107th edition of the PGA Championship is set to kick off on Thursday, May 15, at Quail Hollow Golf Club. This marks the second major tournament of the PGA Tour season, generating many exciting narratives as we approach one of golf’s most celebrated events.
Highlights of the Championship
With a victory, Jordan Spieth aims to make history as he will join only six other players who have achieved a career Grand Slam. Despite not winning since 2022, Spieth has shown strong performance lately, finishing in the top 14 in three of his last four outings, including a notable fourth at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Current odds place him at 40-1.
The co-favorites on the PGA odds board are Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, both at 5-1. Other notable competitors include Bryson DeChambeau at 10-1, Ludvig Aberg at 12-1, and both Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa at 12-1.
Before making any 2025 PGA Championship selections or joining DFS platforms like FanDuel or DraftKings, it’s wise to check out the early golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the trusted SportsLine model.
Predictions for the Championship
One standout prediction from the model is that defending champion Xander Schauffele might struggle, failing to secure a top 10 position. Although he has showcased his talents with nine PGA Tour wins and an impressive streak of making the cut in 62 consecutive tournaments, his current season underwhelmingly includes just one top-10 finish due to a reported rib injury.
Conversely, Justin Thomas, labeled a 20-1 underdog, is anticipated to make a significant push for the title, with a legacy that includes his first major win at the 2017 PGA Championship also in Quail Hollow. He remains a top contender following his recent victory at RBC Heritage this April.
Longshot Picks
The model highlights three additional golfers with longer odds who could make strong runs. For comprehensive insights on these selections, visit SportsLine for exclusive content.
