2025 PGA Championship Odds, Picks & Predictions: Russell Henley

by |

Rory McIlroy's thrilling victory at The Masters last month set up some compelling storylines for the second major of the season, the 2025 PGA Championship, which will be played this week at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.

McIlroy completed the career grand slam with his win at Augusta. If he wins again this week, he'll be halfway to a true grand slam. McIlroy has fared well at Quail Hollow throughout his career, having won four tournaments there. It's a course that favors big hitters — right up McIlroy's alley.

But McIlroy isn't even the favorite this week. That would be Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world. Scheffler cruised to an eight-shot victory at his most recent event, the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Will golf fans be treated to a duel between McIlroy and Scheffler? Or will other top players intervene? Defending PGA champ Xander Schauffele is certainly capable of repeating. Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg have been hot lately. LIV Tour star Bryson DeChambeau has been frisky in recent majors, and other LIV players — Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Tyrrell Hatton and others — could contend.

In his last trip at the 2024 Wells Fargo, however, he finished T-10. His best finish at the PGA Championship is T-12 (2015). In his last five PGA Championship tournaments, he finished T-23, missed the cut, T-60, T-71 and T-37.

Since winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Henley has had mixed results: T-30 at THE PLAYERS Championship, missed the cut at the Masters, T-8 at RBC Heritage and T-46 at the Truist Championship.

Betting Outlook: 2025 PGA Championship Predictions

Henley’s results do not excite me. However, from what I've read, he does not have distance, but is incredibly accurate. Many have picked him as a solid sleeper to win, and I will have to do the same at +6500 odds.
