Public Money Fuels DeChambeau’s Rise

Bryson DeChambeau opened Quail Hollow at +1200 but saw his odds shorten to +950 by midday as 27 percent of the public’s betting dollars backed him to win this week. He enters as a major threat after finishing runner-up to Xander Schauffele in 2024.

Scheffler and McIlroy Hold Favor

DeChambeau ranks third in odds behind Scottie Scheffler (+400) and Rory McIlroy (+450). Scheffler commands 23 percent of the money share, while McIlroy and DeChambeau both sit around 14 percent. Jon Rahm at +1600 lurks next but isn’t yet among the top ten popular picks.

Major Form Meets Quail Hollow

Since joining LIV, DeChambeau has thrived in majors—winning the 2024 U.S. Open and tying for fifth at the Masters. His prodigious length should be a weapon on softened fairways after early-week rains. Scheffler arrives off a win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, and McIlroy seeks his first PGA title after a T2 finish in 2023.

McIlroy’s Home-Course Edge

Rory McIlroy boasts two PGA Championship titles and has thrived at Quail Hollow—where he won his first Tour event in 2010, set the course record with a 61 in 2015, and captured the Wells Fargo again in 2021. His comfort here runs deep, and local support could push him toward a third green jacket.
