The Players Championship 2025: Betting odds and favorites at TPC Sawgrass

Two-time defending Players champion Scottie Scheffler is the only golfer in the 144-man field at TPC Sawgrass getting shorter odds than +1100.

Two years ago, Scottie Scheffler added The Players Championship to his ever-growing list of victories, besting runner-up Tyrrell Hatton by five shots.

And one year ago, of course, the world No. 1 became the first player in history to take back-to-back titles at the PGA Tour's flagship event, ultimately finishing at 20-under, marking the second-lowest 72-hole score ever recorded at Pete Dye's famed Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.

So, it shouldn't come as a shock that Scheffler is the heavy betting favorite heading into this 51st edition of The Players at +400.

And if the two-time Masters champ can complete the three-peat this Sunday afternoon, he'll become only the second player with three victories at this prestigious event. At present, Jack Nicklaus is the only member of that elite club.

But let's not crown Scheffler just yet, as this tournament features an elite 144-man field that includes 47 other players in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Unsurprisingly, the second-shortest odds to win The Players belong to world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who won here in 2019 and enters the week at +1100.

Scheffler and McIlroy are paired together for the first two rounds and will be joined by third-ranked Xander Schauffele, who's currently tied with Justin Thomas with the fifth-shortest odds at +2200.

Collin Morikawa, who's coming off a heartbreaking runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational after relinquishing a late lead at Bay Hill, sits in third at +1400, while Ludvig Åberg, who took solo eighth in his Players debut a season ago, is in the fourth position at +1600.
