The Truist Championship introduces itself to the PGA Tour this week, as what was formerly known as the Wells Fargo Championship now has a new sponsor and new venue for the 2025 season, and we want to look at the Truist Championship odds. Defending champion Rory McIlroy headlines the field, but with so many world class players heading to Philadelphia you will need to pay attention to the Truist Championship sleeper picks. With no Truist Championship cut line in play this week, the whole field will get 72 holes to show off their skills in this signature event.
Teeing it up for the first time since his historic Masters victory, the world’s number two ranked player looks for his PGA Tour leading fourth win of the season. An incredible four-time winner of this event, McIlroy will need to adjust courses as Quail Hollow prepares to host the PGA Championship this year. The 36-year-old not only has three wins on the season but also has not finished worse than 17th in his seven events entered this year. As the hottest player in the game right now there is no reason to think that he won’t keep his record setting season going in the sixth signature event of the season.
Like McIlroy, Morikawa hadn’t finished worse than a 17th place performance all year until his last two outings which shouldn’t cause any concern heading into this week. After a tie for 54th at the RBC Heritage, Morikawa and his teammate Kurt Kitayama missed the cut at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans his last time out. Still searching for his first win since the 2023 ZOZO Championship, the 28-year-old is third on the tour averaging 4.71 birdies a round and if he can limit the bogeys, he should find himself knocking on the doorstep for his first win in two seasons.

Rounding into form after missing some time earlier in the season with an injury, the world’s number three ranked player appears to be finally hitting his stride in recent weeks. After starting the season with a tie for 30th, a tie for 40th and a 72nd place finish, the 31-year-old has gone tie for 12th, tie for 8th and tied for 18th over his last three events. The nine-time PGA Tour winner is coming off a 2024 season that saw him win the first two major championships of his career with victories at the PGA Championship and the British Open. Now he appears to be back in form and it’s only a matter of time before he puts it all together to bring home his 10th career victory on tour.

After snapping a three-year winless drought his last time out at the RBC Heritage, the now 16-time PGA Tour winner will look to keep up his incredible season this week at the Truist Championship. The fifth ranked player in the world has posted some great results this season and aside from his win he has added two second place finishes as well as a tie for sixth place and a tie for ninth place in just 10 events. The two-time PGA Championship winner is just one top 10 performance shy of equaling his total of six from last season and he should achieve that this week considering he is one of the hottest players in the game heading into the Truist Championship.
It feels strange to say it’s been an up and down season for The Genesis Invitational winner earlier in the season, but with so many mixed results it’s hard to know what version of the young star we should expect at the Philadelphia Cricket Club this week. In nine tournaments so far, he has one win, an additional two top seven finishes including at the Masters, plus two missed cuts, a tie for 22nd, 42nd, 54th and a withdrawal. There is no denying the skill set is there, but with so many players in better form this week it’s better to wait for him to find his groove.
Truist Championship longshot
Brian Harman | +75000 at FanDuel sportsbook
Already with a win on his resume this season the 38-year-old PGA Tour veteran is playing some of the most consistent golf of his career. His first victory since winning the British Open in 2023 was followed by an expected drop off the next week at the Masters where he finished tied for 36th, but he provided a great bounce back his last time out finishing tied for third at the RBC Heritage. Now sitting 23rd in the official world golf rankings, the left hander has been one of the better iron players this year and has been hitting greens at a particularly high rate of 68.89% of the time.

Truist Championship betting trends
There are really no trends for the Truist Championship this week as it will be played at the Philadelphia Cricket Club for the first time in tournament history. However, don’t expect that playing a factor as the game’s best has a way of adjusting very quickly. Like most signature events, look for another big name to come out on top this week.
Making his Truist Championship debut, the 57th ranked player in the world rankings is heading to the second signature event of his career. In 32 career starts on the PGA Tour the rising star from Demark has a career best showing of a second-place finish with his brother Nicolai at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans two weeks ago. His best career solo result was posted at the 2022 Corales Puntacana Championship where he finished the week tied for sixth place. Keep an eye on one half of the Hojgaard brothers, as he looks to add his first tour victory to his five international wins.
How to read the Truist Championship betting odds
Reading the Truist Championship betting odds is just as easy as reading the odds for any other golf tournament or sporting event. In golf, there are numerous ways to bet, from head-to-head matchups to whether a player will make a certain number of birdies or eagles in a round. You can even bet if there will be a hole-in-one during the event, if the tournament will go to a playoff or if a player will be in the final group on Sunday.
How to bet on the Truist Championship
There are several ways to bet on the Truist Championship this week. One bet that stands out, however, is that Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, and Justin Thomas will all finish in the top 10. A $10 bet at +802 would give you back $80.20 if these three horses can finish in the top 10.
