The2025 PGA Championshiptees off Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Scottie Scheffler (+450 atBetMGM) is the slight favorite to win. Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked player in the world, is coming off a fourth-place finish at the Masters and a dominating win two weeks ago at the Byron Nelson. He has yet to win a PGA Championship but finished tied for second in 2023 and T8 last year. Rory McIlroy ended his decade-plus majors drought and won the Masters in April, beating Justin Rose in a playoff after losing the lead down the stretch. McIlroy (+500) has the second-best odds to win the tournament at BetMGM and is the only other player in single digits. Scheffler and McIlroy are followed on the odds board by Bryson DeChambeau (11-1) and Justin Thomas (18-1). Thomas has won two PGA Championships — the last one coming in 2022 — but has failed to make the cut in five of his last nine major appearances. DeChambeau was two shots off the lead heading into the final round at the Masters, but shot a final-round 75 to finish fifth. Xander Schauffele (20-1) is thedefending championand is tied for the fifth-best odds with Jon Rahm. Jordan Spieth (50-1), Dustin Johnson (100-1) and Phil Mickelson (300-1) are a few former major winners with longer odds.
