Top Tier Picks to Win
Rory McIlroy (+500)
Rory is always a front runner to win events, but here is the one place we still think the low value could be worth the price. He has dominated Quail Hollow. He won here in 2021 and 2024 while also finishing 5th in 2022.
He is in incredible form as of late and now has the grand slam monkey off his back. It could make more sense to hold off until after Thursday or Friday’s round to see if his price gets better before firing on him.
Bryson DeChambeau (+900)
Bryson finished 9th here in 2021 in his only full tournament at Quail Hollow. He looked to be in peak shape at the Masters before fumbling down the stretch.
He got away from being who he had been, the bomber, and tried to become more of a finesse player, which ultimately cost him. He will not be making that mistake again and should be able to get around the course much like he did at Augusta.
Value Picks to Win
Xander Schauffele (+2200)
Xander is coming off back-to-back runners-up here at Quail Hollow while also finishing 14th back in 2021. He has 4 straight top 20 finishes in his last 4 starts this season and is coming off an 11th-place finish at the Truist last week.
Xander has all the makings of what could be our 2025 PGA Championship Champion. The 22 to 1 price is way too good to pass up here.
Tommy Fleetwood (+4500)
Tommy was in the mix last week, finishing 4th at the Truist. He had finished no worse than 14th here at Quail Hollow and has been in the Top 26 in each of the last 3 PGA Championships.
There has not been much talk about him being in the mix this weekend and that could be a good sign, especially with the value of 45 to 1. Sidenote, that was the same value that Sepp Straka was last week at the Truist.
Long Shot to Win
Sungjae Im (+10000)
We cannot pass up a player that is 100 to 1 that is also the caliber player of Sungjae. He is 6th on Tour in Par 5 scoring and 20th in strokes gained off the tee. Those are 2 of the top correlating stats for this event.
That combined with his success at Quail Hollow (4th in 2024 & 8th in 2023) make him a must play at this price. Jump on this one as soon as you can because this number won't last very long.
Tournament Matchups
Denny McCarthy OVER Andrew Novak (-115)
Denny has been a cut making machine this season. He is 12 for 12 while Novak has missed 6 of his 14. Even if both were to make the cut, Denny has been a stud at Quail Hollow.
He finished 6th in 2024 and 8th in 2023. Novak, on the other hand, missed the cut in his lone tournament at Quail Hollow in 2022.
JJ Spaun OVER Cam Smith (-120)
Cam has simply not been the same player since going over to LIV. Spaun is coming off a Top 20 finish at the Truist and has finished no worse than 27th here at Quail Hollow.
We like Spaun’s consistency here to pick up the matchup victory, especially since Smith has been riding the struggle bus of late.
