McIlroy Preview – Strong Form, History With Event
Rory McIlroy (+400) is the betting favorite entering the week. He’s coming off a Masters win and two more appearances in the last three weeks. He’s a four-time winner of this event, though all his past wins came at Quail Hollow.
McIlroy ranks top-five in strokes gained off the tee and tee-to-green. He’s also sixth in total driving and top-10 in proximity from over 150 yards. If he can manage the firm greens, he’s in line for another strong result.
He has finished top-8 in four of his last six starts. Though this venue is new, it favors his ball-striking and scrambling ability. He’s the player to beat again this week.
Morikawa Preview – Accurate Irons Could Lead the Way
Collin Morikawa (+1400) is ranked No. 1 in several betting models this week. He ranks No. 1 in SG: T2G over the last 16 rounds and top-three in SG: APP. His accuracy is ideal for the Wissahickon Course.
Morikawa is also top-five in scrambling and total driving. This is his first event with new caddie Joe Greiner, a move that could help reset his approach mentally.
He hasn’t won since the 2023 ZOZO Championship but has several top-10 finishes in big events. If his putter is average, he will be in contention Sunday.
Schauffele Preview – Reliable Ball-Striker With Good Course Fit
Xander Schauffele (+1600) is one of the most consistent players on tour. He ranks fourth in total strokes gained over the past 36 rounds. He is also top-10 in SG: APP and SG: T2G.
Schauffele has made the cut in every start in 2025 and has five top-15 finishes. His history on similar comp courses (Colonial, Riviera, The Country Club) makes him a good fit here.
Though he hasn’t won yet this season, he’s trending toward a breakthrough. The layout here suits his strengths, especially in long-iron approach and sand saves.
Fleetwood Preview – In Position for First U.S. Win
Tommy Fleetwood (+2800) enters the week off a solo seventh at the RBC Heritage. He ranks fourth in SG: T2G over the past three months and eighth around the green.
Fleetwood is top-20 in scrambling and sand saves. He thrives in tricky conditions and could benefit from the early scoring holes at Wissahickon.
Still searching for his first win in North America, Fleetwood has four top-10s this year. He has the game to compete here, especially with his skill around fast Bentgrass greens.
Conners Preview – A Breakout Win Feels Close
Corey Conners (+3000) is playing some of the best golf of his career. He’s top-10 in SG: T2G, SG: OTT, and total driving. He also ranks 15th in greens in regulation and has improved his putting.
He’s finished top-12 in four of his last six starts, including strong showings in the RBC Canadian Open and PGA Championship at Oak Hill. The Northeast suits his game.
Conners hasn’t won outside of TPC San Antonio, but he’s due. With reliable ball-striking and recent form, he’s one of the best value plays on the board.
Berger Preview – Trending Up After Injury
Daniel Berger (+4000) continues to improve after missing most of 2024. He finished third at the RBC Heritage and has two top-three finishes in 2025.
He ranks sixth in SG: T2G over the last 36 rounds and fifth in proximity from 200+ yards. His long-iron numbers are ideal for the par-3s and long par-4s at Wissahickon.
Berger is also a strong putter on firm and fast Bentgrass. If he keeps trending upward, he could surprise with a win or top-5 finish this week.
Other Contenders to Watch
Justin Thomas (+1800) is coming off a win at the RBC Heritage. His ball-striking is back to elite levels, and he’s trending up in putting. He ranks top-five in SG: APP and SG: T2G.
Patrick Cantlay (+2000) is another name to watch. He’s top-15 in driving accuracy, scrambling, and Bentgrass putting. His steady play fits this course well.
Viktor Hovland (+2800) and Jordan Spieth (+2800) both offer upside. Hovland’s iron play is elite, while Spieth is a top-tier scrambler who can recover when off-line.
PPH Betting Prediction
McIlroy deserves the favorite tag, but this is a deep and balanced field. Collin Morikawa and Corey Conners have the complete profiles for this course. Both are elite from tee to green and can handle firm greens and strategic bunkers.
Tommy Fleetwood and Daniel Berger also offer good value for top-10 finishes or each-way bets. Visit WagerHome to bet on the Truist Championship and learn how to build your own profitable sportsbook.
