2025 PGA Championship sleeper picks, odds: Predictions on five players who could surprise at Quail Hollow
The 2025 PGA Championship will be played at a familiar venue on the PGA Tour rotation as Quail Hollow Club hosts the second major of the season for the second time. Taking a year off from serving as the site of the Truist Championship, the course will serve as familiar stomping grounds for many of the golfers who hope to transverse it for 72 holes this week.
From a forecasting perspective, that brings a unique opportunity to dig into players’ course history at Quail Hollow as a means of projecting who might have an advantage this week. The PGA Championship is often played at courses we only see as part of the major rotation once every 5-10 years, so course data is extremely limited, but with Quail Hollow being an annual stop on the PGA Tour, there is far more to look back on.
Understandably, much of the focus has been on players at the top of the odds board, including Rory McIlroy, who has won four times at Quail Hollow, and Justin Thomas, who won the PGA Championship the last time it was the host site in 2017.
However, it’s not just some of the favorites that come in with good vibes at this particular site and as we take a look further down the oddsboard to find some sleeper picks, we’re looking largely at those players who both contended (or won) at Quail Hollow in the past and enter this week in solid form.
