Charles Schwab Challenge Tips & Predictions

Best Bet
He might not be exciting to watch, but Scheffler knows how to win tournaments. He shot even par in the final round last week, but it was good enough to win by five strokes because every other competitor was choking.
Even without his best game, Scheffler is too good for most players on the PGA Tour. That’s why he’s a short $3.40 favourite to win the Charles Schwab Challenge, but how is it possible to bet against the world’s best player?
We’re not thrilled by the odds, but he likes this tournament, and he’ll have to play poorly not to be in contention on the final day.
Bet: Scottie Scheffler @ $3.40

Next Best
Aaron Rai is one of the more underrated players on the PGA Tour, but he’s a top 20 player with plenty of ability.
The Englishman comes off another strong performance at the PGA Championship, finishing T19 at –2. He should be thrilled with that performance, and it shows that he can compete with the big guns of the PGA and LIV tours.
He gets an early tee time for Round 1, so he could fire in a low opening score and be around the top of the leaderboard. At $34 odds, he’s worth the risk, and he could cause an upset over Scheffler if he plays well.

Best Value Bet
It’s becoming painful to back Tommy Fleetwood every week, but he must pay off loyal punters sooner or later.
The Brit also had a good showing at Quail Hollow last week, adding to his impressive majors record, but a lack of wins has frustrated punters. We keep applying the chase theory on Fleetwood, and if he doesn’t win in 2025, it will never happen.
His odds are favourable for punters to take, so include him in golf picks.

Best Roughie
Coming off a strong performance at the PGA is J.T. Poston, who is typically an excellent putter, but it was his putter that let him down in the final round.
He should put that performance in the rear-view mirror, and he has been forgotten about with golf betting markets. Poston finished T5 last week after a +2 final round, and although he missed his chance to win his first major, it was a good showing.
Punters get $46 for him to win, so we’re backing him on an each-way basis for tournament winner, top 10 and top 20.

First Round Leader
Andrew Novak is playing well in 2025, including a win in the Zurich Classic with teammate Ben Griffin.
That came a week after Novak lost in the playoff to Justin Thomas at the RBC Heritage, so he’s good enough to compete against the best.
We expect a tidy first round performance, and we can’t say no to the $61 odds.
