Updated May 30, 2025
the PGA Tour heads to Ohio for the 2025 memorial Tournament, with Scottie Scheffler entering as the top favorite. The 2025 Memorial Tournament boasts a strong field, including major champions Xander Schauffele, Collin morikawa, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth.
Scheffler holds +280 odds to win, according to oddsmakers. Other top contenders include schauffele and Morikawa,both at +1600,followed by Thomas at +1800. The champion will earn 700 FedExCup points. Scheffler is also +1000 to lead after the first round.
The tournament begins Thursday at Muirfield Village Golf Club, with tee times starting at 7:50 a.m.ET. Golf enthusiasts are considering whether to back the favorites or gamble on a longshot such as Hideki Matsuyama (+3500), Sepp Straka (+4500), or Rickie Fowler (+8000) for their 2025 Memorial Tournament picks.
A surprise prediction suggests that Xander Schauffele, despite being a top favorite and nine-time PGA Tour champion, may struggle and not even finish in the top five. While Schauffele had a T-8 finish at the Memorial Tournament in 2024, his 2025 season has been inconsistent. His putting statistics are a concern, ranking low in strokes gained: putting, putting average, and one-putt percentage.
Conversely, Tommy Fleetwood, a 25-1 longshot, is predicted to make a strong run. His accuracy and statistical rankings make him a valuable pick for 2025 Memorial tournament bets. Fleetwood ranks high in strokes gained: approach to green and driving accuracy.
“To score well at Muirfield Village, players will need to be extremely accurate. That bodes well for Fleetwood, who ranks 11th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.565) and 31st in driving accuracy (64.22%).”
