SCHEFFLER VS. EVERYONE! CAN ANYONE STOP THE GOLF MACHINE AFTER PGA CHAMPIONSHIP?

The dominant world number one heads to Texas as an overwhelming favorite, but a model has revealed surprising outsiders who could cause a sensation! Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 starts Thursday!

Colonial Country Club in Texas hosts the prestigious Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 from Thursday, May 22, where all eyes are on one man – Scottie Scheffler. After his triumph at the PGA Championship, the world number one is heading for another title, but analytical models have revealed surprising outsiders with a chance for a major upset.

SCHEFFLER: THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF WORLD GOLF

Who else but him? Scottie Scheffler is having a dream season:

"Scottie Scheffler has won his last two starts, including the PGA Championship, where he claimed his third career major. In his last five tournaments, he has always finished in the TOP-8!"

He's also the favorite according to bookmakers, who give him odds of +250 (bet 100, win 250). Scheffler has excellent experience with Colonial Country Club – he has always finished in the TOP-3 here in the last three years and was second last year.

SURPRISING TIPS: AARON RAI AS THE DARK HORSE

The renowned SportsLine model, which has successfully predicted 15 majors (including the 2025 Masters and PGA Championship 2025), comes with a surprising tip:

"British golfer Aaron Rai with odds of 45-1 has, according to the model, a much greater chance of winning than the betting odds suggest!"

The model, which has earned bettors nearly $9,000 in recent years, sees his accurate tee shots and excellent iron play as the key to potential success. Rai is currently:

  • #1 in driving accuracy (73.13%)
  • #16 in greens in regulation percentage (69.57%)
  • #20 in strokes gained: approach to green (0.513)

DEFENDING CHAMPION RILEY WITH HIGH ODDS

It's incredible that last year's winner Davis Riley is at odds of 50-1! And this despite finishing tied for 2nd place at the PGA Championship together with Davis Thomson. Can he surprise again?

SPIETH AS A TRAP FOR BETTORS?

Beware of betting on Jordan Spieth! The thirteen-time PGA Tour winner and three-time major champion is overrated according to the SportsLine model:

"Spieth comes after missing the cut at the PGA Championship, and his results are very unstable. His last win is from 2022."

Spieth has problems especially with:

  • 71st place in strokes gained: approach to green
  • Position in greens in regulation percentage
  • Placement outside TOP-50 in driving accuracy, birdie average, and putting

OTHER TOP NAMES AT COLONIAL COUNTRY CLUB

Other elite golfers will also appear in Texas:

  • Hideki Matsuyama (odds 25-1) - Japanese star and Masters winner
  • Daniel Berger (odds 25-1) - American Ryder Cup player
  • Tommy Fleetwood (odds 25-1) - English elegance with precise short game

ODDS AND SPECIAL BETS

Besides the overall winner, you can also bet on:

  • Scheffler TOP-5 finish: odds -175
  • Scheffler leader after 1st round: odds +1200
  • Aaron Rai TOP-10 finish: odds +325

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE TOURNAMENT?

Colonial Country Club is a classic course where accuracy is valued more than length. That's exactly why the model favors players like Aaron Rai over bombers from the tee.

The SportsLine model has identified a total of four golfers with odds of 45-1 or higher who have a real chance of winning. Who are they? And will someone manage to stop the in-form Scheffler?

Don't miss the start of the tournament on Thursday, May 22!

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
