2025 PGA Championship favorite

Scottie Scheffler (+450 to +500)

Scottie Scheffler's status as the consensus No. 1 favorite at all four of the majors has been solidified for over a year, and that certainly isn't expected to change in 2025.

He's yet to win the PGA Championship but has logged four Top-8 results in five career tries and that includes a runner-up in 2023. Until further notice, the World No. 1 is the guy you'll need to beat at Quail Hollow.

How to read PGA Championship odds

Betting odds for the PGA Championship, like other sporting events, can be presented in various formats, including American odds, fractional odds, and decimal odds. However, American odds are commonly used in the United States for sports betting. Here's how to read PGA Championship betting odds in American format:

Positive odds: Positive odds indicate the potential profit on a $100 bet. They are typically associated with underdogs or less likely outcomes.

For example, if you see odds of +500 on a golfer winning the PGA Championship, it means a $100 bet on that golfer would potentially yield a $500 profit if they win. Your total return would be $600 ($100 stake plus $500 profit).

Negative odds: Negative odds indicate how much you need to bet to profit $100. They are usually associated with favorites or more likely outcomes.

For instance, if you see odds of -150 on a golfer to win the PGA Championship, it means you would need to bet $150 to potentially win $100 in profit. Your total return would be $250 ($150 stake plus $100 profit).

Whether positive or negative, the odds provide insight into the perceived likelihood of a golfer winning the tournament. Higher positive odds indicate that the golfer is less likely to win but could yield a higher return if successful. Lower negative odds suggest that the golfer is favored to win but may yield a smaller return due to the higher probability of success.
