The PGA Tour’s best golfers return to TPC Sawgrass for the 2025 Players Championship beginning on Thursday, March 13. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, is the two-time defending champion and can become the first golfer to successfully three-peat at the Players if he’s able to finish on top of the leaderboard. However, Scheffler has yet to record a victory on the PGA Tour this season and is coming off a T-11 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. 

Scheffler enters this week’s tournament as the +360 favorite (risk $100 to win $360), according to the latest 2025 Players Championship odds. He’s followed by Rory McIlroy (+800), Collin Morikawa (+1600), Xander Schauffele (+1600), Ludvig Aberg (+2000), and Justin Thomas (+2000) on the PGA odds board. The 144-player Players Championship field features 48 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking.

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Players Championship: Xander Schauffele, a nine-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top 10. Another surprise: Hideki Matsuyama, a 30-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!
