Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are co-favourites for the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
The latest: Fresh off completing the career grand slam, McIlroy heads to a venue he’s dominated. Scheffler, meanwhile, picked up his first win of the season and looks to secure major No. 3. There are four players with odds between 10 and 20-to-1, including reigning champion Xander Schauffele.
Here are the latest 2025 PGA Championship odds for the tournament beginning on May 14.

The co-favourites: McIlroy, Scheffler (+500)
It seems like the sky is the limit for McIlroy now that he’s got a 500-pound gorilla off his back.
With his win at the Masters, the Northern Irishman became the sixth golfer to complete the modern grand slam, joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
That was his third win this season and his fifth in the last 25 starts.
McIlroy is second only to Scheffler in strokes gained: tee-to-green over the last three months. He has won four times at Quail Hollow, most recently in 2024.
Speaking of Scheffler, this seems like a perfect spot to add another massive trophy.
The Texan was “slumping” to begin this season before winning the CJ Cup by eight strokes. I put slumping in quotations because he never finished outside of the top 25 with five top-10 finishes in eight starts.
Scheffler has never participated in a stroke-play event at Quail Hollow, but was a member of the 2022 American Presidents Cup team, which won here.
Golf betting notes
- Schauffele has carded four straight top 20s (including a T8 at Augusta) after an injury-riddled start to the season. He has 12 straight top 20s at majors, which is the longest active streak among all players, winning this event and the Open Championship in 2024.
- Bryson DeChambeau comes in ahead of Schauffele and for good reason. The 31-year-old has four top-six finishes in his last five major starts. He was runner-up to Schauffele at last year’s PGA Championship before winning his second U.S. Open.
- Jon Rahm hasn’t truly threatened at a major championship after leaving the PGA Tour. The Spaniard finished inside the top 10 in all but one start on LIV this season, though, and this course should suit his game.
- Justin Thomas has two PGA Championships to his name — the first of which came at Quail Hollow — and is in great form to add a third. He has three runner-up finishes this season (including one last week at the Truist Championship) in addition to his win at the RBC Heritage.
- Corey Conners (+5,000) holds the shortest odds of the five Canadian golfers playing this week. The Listowel, Ontario native has three straight top 25 finishes at majors and six top-10 finishes this season.
