Chris Gregory said the +250 outright number on Scottie Scheffler is still worth a wager despite looking prohibitively short at first glance. Gregory pointed out that Scheffler is in video-game form, winning his last two starts by a combined 13 strokes—an eight-shot romp at the Byron Nelson and a five-shot victory at the PGA Championship. That heater has vaulted him back to World No. 1 and the top of the FedEx Cup standings. Course history reinforces the buy: Scheffler has finished inside the Top 3 at Colonial three years running (2022-2024) and has never missed the cut in five career appearances. With no other player in the field priced below +2000 and the next tier headlined by Tommy Fleetwood, Hideki Matsuyama, and Jordan Spieth, Gregory argued that Scheffler’s dominance plus his proven track record here justifies eating the short price in the outright market.

Gregory called Xander Schauffele a value target at around 16/1, noting he has finished runner-up in each of the last two editions of this tournament. Although both close calls came at Quail Hollow, Schauffele’s ability to peak on this annual stop and his overall consistency make him an appealing each-way or outright play for bettors seeking an option priced below McIlroy but with a proven ceiling.

Chris Gregory advised caution on Collin Morikawa at +1200 to +1400. While Morikawa flashed form with a T10 at THE PLAYERS and T14 at the Masters, Gregory pointed to the ball-striker’s slide to T54 at RBC Heritage followed by a missed cut at the Zurich Classic as proof his game is trending the wrong way. With a relatively short outright number in the same neighborhood as hotter players, Gregory believes Morikawa is overpriced and better left off outright cards this week.

Chris Gregory said Rory McIlroy remains a legitimate outright wager at 4/1 even though the Truist Championship has moved from Quail Hollow to Philadelphia Cricket Club. Gregory highlighted McIlroy’s scorching run—four wins in his last nine worldwide starts dating back to mid-November, including the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, THE PLAYERS, and the Masters. McIlroy also owns four prior victories in this tournament (all at Quail Hollow) plus multiple other top finishes since 2010. Gregory argued that the combination of elite recent form and historical dominance outweighs any uncertainty created by the new course and makes Rory a viable anchor for outright, each-way, and DFS builds.

Chris Gregory urged bettors to swallow the short +275 price on Scottie Scheffler to win at TPC Craig Ranch, arguing the World No. 1's form is much closer to peak than the lack of a 2025 trophy suggests. Scheffler has rattled off six Top-15 finishes in eight starts, highlighted by a T2 in Houston, T3 at Riviera's Genesis Invitational, and fourth at the Masters. Gregory added that the Dallas-area layout has treated him well—T15 in 2022 and a career-best T5 in 2023—and this year's field is noticeably weaker behind him. Combine the home-state comfort, elite ball-striking metrics that have kept him near the top of every leaderboard, and the absence of other Top-10 players, and Gregory believes Scheffler finally converts the consistent contention into a win this week.

Gregory labeled Jordan Spieth an enticing outright at 18/1, noting the three-time major champ is "slowly getting back into form" with three consecutive Top-20 finishes, including a T14 at Augusta. Spieth was the Byron Nelson runner-up in 2022 and owns extensive course knowledge from growing up an hour away. Gregory emphasized that with Scheffler soaking up so much win equity, Spieth's 18/1 number is generous for a player trending up statistically—approach play gaining strokes in four straight starts—against a shallow field. He recommends sprinkling an outright ticket and considering Spieth in DFS player pools for Texas narrative and proven track record at TPC Craig Ranch.

While reviewing the mid‑tier, Gregory highlighted Aaron Rai and Sahith Theegala at 24/1 (+2400) as an intriguing value play. The pair sits in a cluster of teams priced between +2000 and +2500, yet both golfers have flashed upside this season—Rai ranking inside the Top‑20 in Strokes Gained: Approach over his last six starts and Theegala owning three Top‑15 finishes since February. With the favorites soaking up most of the win equity and the second choice slumping, Gregory implied this balanced tandem could contend and reward outright bettors looking beyond the chalk.

Gregory cautioned bettors against backing the No. 2 betting option of Collin Morikawa and Kurt Kitayama at +1,200. Morikawa limped to a T54 finish last week at Harbour Town, while Kitayama has not placed better than T33 in any start since October. Given the duo’s shaky form and the large gap to their posted price, Gregory suggested their odds are too short and represent an opportunity to fade in head‑to‑head markets or outright cards.

Chris Gregory argued that the defending champions Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry deserve their status as clear +360 favorites at the Zurich Classic. He noted that the Irish duo closed at +750 last year before winning in a playoff and return to a softer 2025 field that is missing the 2022 winning team of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. McIlroy also carries momentum from ending an 11‑year major drought with a Masters victory two weeks ago. With no other tandem priced below +1,200 and several form‑questionable teams chasing them, Gregory implied the short number is still worth consideration for outright tickets or as a parlay anchor.

Chris Gregory pointed out Jordan Spieth as an intriguing dark horse betting opportunity for RBC Heritage. Despite finishing T14 at the Masters, Spieth enters this event at +3300 odds, significantly longer than some of his more favored opponents. Gregory added context by recalling Spieth's RBC Heritage victory in 2022, indicating familiarity and previous success on this very course. With such experience coupled with a recent respectable Masters showing, Gregory's analysis suggests Spieth presents notable value as a potential upset winner to challenge the betting favorites.

Chris Gregory identified Xander Schauffele as a quality betting candidate at RBC Heritage, given his recent form at Augusta, where he secured a solid T8 finish. Gregory noted that Schauffele's odds at 12/1 present potential value, especially after demonstrating the consistency to compete among the game's elite at the recent Masters Tournament. As Harbour Town traditionally rewards skilled ball-strikers with strategic course management, Schauffele's steady recent play positions him well to contend strongly, providing bettors a captivating option at attractive odds.

Chris Gregory advised not dismissing Scottie Scheffler at the RBC Heritage even after a disappointing fourth-place result at The Masters. Gregory pointed out that Scheffler's fourth-place finish, while falling short of expectations as defending champion, still aligns well with his form and consistency. Scheffler heads into Harbour Town as the top betting favorite with odds ranging from +350 to +400. Given his current steady performances and world number one ranking, Gregory suggests that Scheffler remains highly viable and a solid consideration for bettors seeking reliability at the event.

Chris Gregory highlighted Collin Morikawa as a strong play ahead of the RBC Heritage tournament, noting his consistent performance early in the 2025 season. Gregory specified Morikawa's six consecutive top-20 finishes, including notable runner-up results at both Kapalua and Bay Hill. Following a solid T14 finish at The Masters, Gregory indicated that Morikawa's continued strong play suggests he's getting close to breaking through with his first victory of the year. His betting odds of 10/1 are still favorable given his recent excellent form, making Morikawa a promising target for bettors at Harbour Town.

Chris Gregory suggested Justin Thomas as a rising darkhorse betting candidate in the lead-up to the 2025 Masters, citing his shrinking betting odds despite not securing a victory on the 2025 PGA Tour season so far. Gregory explained that Thomas' odds movement can likely be attributed to assignments by sharp bettors recognizing his potential to perform well at Augusta, where Thomas historically has been competitive. Gregory noted Thomas' strong underlying form entering the event as further evidence supporting this betting angle.

Chris Gregory identified Collin Morikawa as intriguing from a betting perspective heading into the 2025 Masters Championship. Despite not registering any PGA Tour wins thus far in 2025, Morikawa's odds have nonetheless shortened, indicating increased market confidence. Gregory underscored this point by noting Morikawa's previous success and strong performances at Augusta National, reinforcing the idea that professional bettors are perceiving significant upside even without recent victories. His current betting price still presents attractive potential value.

According to Chris Gregory, Rory McIlroy is attracting significant betting attention for the 2025 Masters as his odds hover around +650 after recent stellar performances. McIlroy's betting price tightened considerably following victories at prestigious tournaments like the AT&T Pebble Beach and THE PLAYERS Championship. Gregory noted McIlroy has consistently put himself in contention, tallying three worldwide wins along with five additional Top-5 finishes across 11 events post-2024 PGA season. Gregory emphasized that Rory's impressive statistical profile and form, including a T5 at the recent Houston Open, continued pushing his odds downward and could even shorten further given his high handle in betting markets.

Chris Gregory pointed out Scottie Scheffler as the logical betting favorite heading into the 2025 Masters. Scheffler, a two-time Masters champion, enters Augusta on strong recent form after securing a T2 finish at the Houston Open last week. His 2025 PGA Tour season has been extremely consistent, not finishing outside of the Top 25 in six events. Gregory noted Scheffler's odds are around +400, reflecting both his elite recent form and his past success at Augusta National, while cautioning that winning the Masters in back-to-back years remains historically rare.

Chris Gregory highlighted Jon Rahm as a potential valuable betting target at +1400 odds entering the 2025 Masters. Rahm, who won the Masters back in 2023, has showcased exceptional and consistent form since joining the LIV Golf circuit. He has recorded five consecutive Top 10 finishes to kickstart the LIV Golf season, extending a remarkable streak to 17 consecutive Top 10 performances overall. While Rahm had a relatively underwhelming T45 finish at the previous Masters in 2024, he finished strong last summer with a T7 at The Open Championship and T5 at the Olympics. Gregory stressed Rahm's consistent performance could indicate the Spaniard is undervalued and flying under bettors' radar compared to popular picks like Scheffler and McIlroy.
