5 sleeper picks to watch at the PGA Championship 2025 feat. Jordan Spieth

The PGA Tour is in its second major week as the PGA Championship commences on Thursday, May 15. The field will feature 156 players competing at the Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the coveted Wanamaker Cup.

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are once again entering the PGA Championship as the tournament favorites. The likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Ludvig Aberg, and defending champion Xander Schauffele are also expected to give strong competition.

While the favorites are expected to do well at Quail Hollow, a few sleeper picks could surprise the top stars. In this article, we will look at five sleeper picks for the PGA Championship 2025.

Sleeper picks for the PGA Championship explored

1) Wyndham Clark

Wyndham Clark has been hot and cold this season as he has made just four top-25s and converted just one into the top ten. It is totally contrasting to last year, where he had eight top-tens and four of them were inside the top 3.

Nevertheless, Clark has tasted success at Quail Hollow, and his first win came here only in 2023. As per odds, he is +4000 to win this week and might make his first top-30 finish besides the US Open 2023.

2) Viktor Hovland

Despite one win this season, it's fair to say that Viktor Hovland isn't playing at the same level as he was two years ago. This week, he is +2500 to win his first-ever major championship.

3) Min Woo Lee

Although Min Woo Lee’s got flashes of brilliance, he’s still figuring it out week to week. That said, it wouldn’t be surprising if he goes low at Quail Hollow. The young Australian is +5000 this week, and he knows what a win tastes like after his breakthrough at Texas last month.

4) Russell Henley

Russell Henley is also +5000 to win the PGA Championship 2025, but could have been higher in the odds if it were not for his lack of big driving distance. However, his accuracy has been something to look up to, which has helped him notch five top-10s, including a win.

5) Jordan Spieth

Jordan Spieth is once again back in the hunt to complete the career Grand Slam. However, he hasn’t even won a non-major event since 2022.

As per the odds, the three-time major champion is +4000 to claim the historic feat at Quail Hollow. He also enters the tournament after shooting a low final-round 62 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which should boost his confidence ahead of a big week.
