2025 Truist Championship Odds, Picks, & Predictions: Longshot Bets
72 golfers are set to compete during the PGA Tour’s latest Signature Event at the 2025 Truist Championship this week. No cut line will be enforced, as golfers will try to fine-tune their game ahead of next week’s PGA Championship major at Quail Hollow.
Normally, the Truist Championship is held at Quail Hollow. So this week marks the PGA Tour debut of The Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course. Located in Flourtown, Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia, this is a par 70 that runs 7,119 yards. Minimal trees and water hazards are replaced with over 100 bunkers and straight, narrow fairways.
Last week was definitely not the time to look at longshot winners during Scottie Scheffler’s dominant wire-to-wire victory at the 2025 CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Scheffler was +280 prior to his 61 in Round 1, before odds shortened substantially on the World No. 1 golfer.
Scheffler won’t compete at the Truist Championship this week, so now, oddsmakers are favoring Rory McIlroy at +450 odds. McIlroy has won this event four times, including in 2021 and 2024. It’ll be hard to dethrone McIlroy based on how well he’s played this season but I’m going to recommend sprinkling a couple of longshot prospects anyways.

Andrew Novak (+6000)
Few golfers on the PGA Tour are on top of their game like Andrew Novak. He finally won his first PGA Tour event with teammate Ben Griffin during the Zurich Classic.
Novak recorded a T3 finish at the Valero Texas Open. Then, he came up short in a playoff against Justin Thomas at the RBC Heritage, which was the last Signature Event on the PGA Tour circuit.
Ranked 29th in putting average, first in putts per round, and ninth in one-putt percentage in 2025, Novak’s been playing well with his flat stick this season. He’s also sixth in sand save percentage, which could prove huge at a course with a ton of bunkers like Wissahickon.
Novak is 14th scrambling, so he’ll be able to lean on his short game on a course that demands precision over power. Let’s place a 0.25 unit wager on Novak to stay hot and contend for his first solo win on the PGA Tour at 60-1 odds.
Brian Harman (+7500)
Oddsmakers continue to undervalue Brian Harman at 75-1 this week at the Truist Championship. Harman has an outright win under his belt at the Valero Texas Open a month ago, while also carding a T3 finish at the RBC Heritage during his last outing.
Ranked 35th at finding greens in regulation (68.9 percent), 19th proximity, and 43rd driving accuracy, there’s a lot to like about Harman at Wissahickon this week. He’s 25th in sand save percentage and 54th SG: Approach.
The putting will be challenging for most of the field this week, which is where Harman lacks consistency. A short, precision course with undulated greens could be exactly what Harman needs to climb the leaderboard into contention at +7500 odds.
Let’s sprinkle one more 0.25 unit wager on Harman’s 75-1 odds before Round 1 tees off on Thursday from the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
