2025 PGA Championship Outright Odds: McIlroy favored over Scheffler

Who will lift the Wanamaker Trophy at Quail Hollow in 2025?

Xander Schauffele won his first major championship at Valhalla in 2024 with a record-setting 21-under par score over four rounds.

Let's take a look at the favorites to win the 2025 PGA Championship.

2025 PGA Championship Outright Odds

Rory McIlroy is the favorite to win the 2025 PGA Championship at a course he’s had more success at than any other player in the field.

The 2025 Masters champion – who completed his career grand slam and snapped an 11-year major drought last month at Augusta National – is +470 to win his sixth career major this week in North Carolina.

McIlroy is a four-time winner at Quail Hollow in 2010, 2015, 2021 and 2024, all at the Wells Fargo Championship (formerly known as the Quail Hollow Championship in 2010). Between his past success at the course and form entering this week, it’s no mystery why Rory jumped World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in the betting.

Scheffler (+500) is second-favorite to win his third career major and first not at The Masters.

The 28-year-old doesn’t have much experience at Quail Hollow, his only experience at the course coming at the 2022 Presidents Cup. Still, Scheffler is almost a guarantee to perform well at majors, with 12 top-10 finishes in his last 16 starts, including four finishes of T8 or better at the PGA Championship.

Last year’s PGA Championship runner-up Bryson DeChambeau (+800) is third-favorite to win this week. Another player who brings his best to the majors, DeChambeau has finished T6 or better at four of the last five majors. At the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Bryson finished T33.

The winner of that 2017 tournament, Justin Thomas, is priced at +2100 to capture his third Wanamaker Trophy this week. The PGA Championship is by far Thomas’ best major in terms of finishing position, with two wins (2017, 2022) and four top-10s.

The American is in fine form entering the week, too, having won the RBC Heritage in April, his first PGA Tour win since the 2022 PGA Championship.

Thomas comes in just ahead of Jon Rahm (+1900) and tied with 2024 PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele (+2100).

Schauffele finished runner-up at his last two starts at Quail Hollow and more than proved his major mettle last year, finally breaking through to win both the PGA Championship and Open Championship.

Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Aberg, both priced at +2400, are next, with Joaquin Niemann (+3500) and Hideki Matsuyama (+4000) the only other players 40/1 or shorter to triumph at Quail Hollow this week.
