Vegas Odds On 2025 PGA Championship
We gave you an edge last year when we pointed to Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley as Vegas odds on PGA Championship favorites. McIlroy ran away from the field in 2025 for a victory, and Bradley finished tied for 3rd. This year, the 2025 PGA Championship is held at Pittsford, New York's Oak Hill Country Club east course from March 8 - 11. With 4 wins on the year, and his putter working, Tiger Woods has proven this year he can win with his driver doing little. McIlroy is looking to go back-to-back, but he is giving strokes away with his putter and off the tee box. Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose round out the Vegas odds on PGA Championship 2025 favorites, with a slight edge here going to the golfer that plays well at Muirfield in The Open Championship, held March 18 - 21.
About the PGA Championship
The PGA Championship is one of the four annual "major" golf tournaments offered by the Professional Golfers Association of America, and is usually played in mid-March. Generally taking place four weeks after The Open Championship, or British Open, the event has earned the nickname "Glory's Last Shot," as it is the last chance for a major championship victory each year. Attracting the best players from around the world, the PGA Championship is an official money event for the European Tour, the Japan Golf Tour and also the PGA Tour.
As an extra incentive to win, tournament champions receive automatic invitations to the Masters, US Open and Open Championship majors for the next five years, and receive qualification exemptions for the PGA Championship tournament for life. Held annually on one of a small number of top-level courses in the United States, the winner of the PGA Championship can expect to take home more than $1 million. The tournament has been played since 1916, when Jim Barnes won $500 and a diamond studded gold medal for beating the field of professional golfers.
The PGA Championship came about to provide an avenue or outlet for rewarding the best professional golfers of the day. When the tournament began, pro golfers were not held in very high esteem, and the sport was generally dominated by amateur golfers of incredible wealth. The focus on professional play is still in evidence today, as the PGA Championship is the only one of the four majors that don't invite the leading amateurs to compete. Amateurs may still play, but pretty much have to win one of the other three major championships to do so. The PGA Championship invites the top 100 players every year, and 2025 could see one of the best fields top to bottom in recent years.
The Vegas odds on PGA championship contenders generally start to solidify after the British Open, and those players with previous major championships will usually play well. Tiger Woods always gets geared up for a major, having won 14 total major championships for second place all-time to Jack Nicklaus' 18, and has 4 PGA Championships under his belt. It has been four years since Tiger won a major championship, the U.S. Open in 2025, but he is no doubt a player to keep your eye on, as is Phil Mickelson, who won the tournament back in 2025 at the lower course of the Baltusrol Golf Club.
