5 big-name golfers to watch at the Truist Championship 2025
#1 Rory McIlroy
Currently World No.2, Rory McIlroy has been the defining player of 2025. He has already had three wins and four top-10 finishes in six starts. The North Irishman would look to win his fifth title at the tournament, having won four in the past editions of the tournament, in 2010, 2015, 2021 and 2024.

He's the favourite to win at the Wissahickon Course in Flourtown, Pennsylvania, with odds of +480, as per DraftKings.
#2 Xander Schauffele
With Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy having already registered a win in the 2025 season, fans would be hoping for Xander Schauffele to finally gain form at the Truist Championship, ahead of the PGA Championship.
Despite the lackluster season by Schauffele, he hasn't missed a single cut in six starts. He has one top-10 finish and three top-25 finishes. His best performance came at the 2025 Masters, where he tied for eighth.
#3 Hideki Matsuyama
Hideki Matsuyama had a strong start in the 2025 season with a win at the Sentry. However, he has struggled in the last few starts, missing two cuts in the last three starts. He has also failed to register another top-10 finish after the Sentry.
He's still positioned 15th in the FedEx Cup standings and will look to make a comeback at the Wissahickon. He has odds of +3000 to win the tournament.
#4 Jordan Spieth
Jordan Spieth's last win on the PGA Tour came at the 2022 RBC Heritage. However, he has had a steady resurgence in the 2025 season. He has had three top-10 finishes, six top-25 finishes already this year in 10 starts. Further, he had an amazing outing at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, where he registered a splendid 62 in the final round and settled for fourth place. He'll also tee off at the Truist Championship with odds of +2800.
#5 Tommy Fleetwood
After a seventh-place finish at the RBC Heritage, Tommy Fleetwood will return to play this week at the Truist Championship. He has had a strong start to the 2025 season and would look to continue his momentum.
In the eight tournaments competed in, he has made eight cuts with two top-10 and seven top-25 finishes. His best finish was at the Genesis Invitational, where he tied for fifth. He has odds of +2800 to win the tournament.
