If Scottie Scheffler finishes on top of the leaderboard at the 2025 Memorial Tournament, he’ll become the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2000-01) to successfully defend his title. Scheffler will have to stave off several serious contenders if he wants to rewrite the history books. Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland are among the experienced players looking to dethrone Scheffler and win the Memorial Tournament 2025. Play gets underway from Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village Golf Club on Thursday, May 29.
Scheffler enters this week’s event as the +280 favorite (risk $100 to win $280), according to the latest 2025 Memorial Tournament odds. He’s followed by Schauffele (14-1), Morikawa (16-1), Thomas (18-1) and Patrick Cantlay (20-1) on the PGA odds board.

2025 Memorial Tournament predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Memorial Tournament: Xander Schauffele, a nine-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. Schauffele secured a T-8 finish at the Memorial Tournament in 2024 but is off to an extremely slow start in 2025.
The 31-year-old has recorded just one top-10 finish this season, and he’s coming off a T-28 showing at the PGA Championship earlier this month. Schauffele’s struggles can be directly attributed to his inconsistency on the green. The two-time major champion enters this week’s event ranked 130th in strokes gained: putting (-0.160), 138th in putting average (1.772) and 162nd in one-putt percentage (37.33%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 Memorial Tournament field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Tommy Fleetwood, a 33-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
In order 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%). He also ranks inside the top 25 in several additional statistical categories, including strokes gained: total (1.371), strokes gained: around-the-green (0.345) and putting average (1.722). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2025 Memorial Tournament bets. See who else to pick here. Bettors looking to take advantage of a Caesars Sportsbook promo code can get Fleetwood to finish inside the top 10 at +250 odds.
