Scottie Scheffler Leads Odds Ahead 2025 PGA Championship Charlotte

The 2025 PGA Championship, held at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, features top contenders Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler as favorites, with Bryson DeChambeau also among the leading players. McIlroy, having recently completed his career Grand Slam with a Masters win and holding the best odds, is favored but faces skepticism about winning back-to-back majors. Scheffler, the world No. 1 and two-time major winner, is seen by some experts as the stronger candidate due to his rest and current form, despite a less consistent season. Analyst Smylie Kaufman favors Scheffler over McIlroy, citing McIlroy’s need to improve ball striking and Scheffler’s freshness after sitting out a recent tournament. Pundit Brandel Chamblee highlights Scheffler's resilience, consistency, and statistical dominance, suggesting only major unforeseen events could prevent him from winning. The competition is highly anticipated, with sportsbooks offering various odds and matchup props to bettors.
