The Memorial Tips & Predictions

Best Bet

Scottie Scheffler @ $4.00

Bet Now

We backed Scheffler last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, and although he didn’t have his best stuff, he is easily good enough to beat this field.

The American still posted a T4 finish despite not playing well, and that’s a warning sign for the rest of the field. He can be off his game and finish fourth, so we’re confident he’ll be better this week and win The Memorial.

His win in the PGA Championship two weeks ago was impressive, and we’re hoping he can get back to that form. Without Rory McIlroy in the field, his chances increase, and getting $4 is a luxury price from bookies.

Bet: Scottie Scheffler @ $4.00

Next Best

Justin Thomas @ $19.00

Bet Now

It has been a good bounce back year for Justin Thomas, and he should take his newfound confidence and play well this week at The Memorial.

He missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but he shot –1 in the second round, and that followed some excellent performances. He finished T2 at the Truist Championship behind Sepp Straka, which followed a win at the RBC Heritage.

The 32-year-old still has plenty of game, and he could score another signature event win this week. Take the $19 odds before money comes for him.

Best Value Bet

Ludvig Aberg @ $23.00

Bet Now

Ludvig Aberg has taken a backwards step after being well-backed most weeks, but the 25-year-old Swede could get back to his best golf.

He missed the cut at the PGA, which followed disappointing efforts at the Truist and RBC. However, he finished seventh at the Masters, and he likes to play in the biggest tournaments. It might have taken him longer to recover from an injury than he first thought, so he’s worth sticking with.

He’s already a two-time PGA Tour winner, so the $23 odds are worth including in golf picks today.

Best Roughie

J.J. Spaun @ $67.00

Bet Now

J.J. Spaun is paying good golf in 2025, including a T6 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week, and he also has a second placing at The Players.

Rory McIlroy needed a playoff to beat Spaun at Sawgrass, so the American can hang with the best in the world. That bodes well for a big showing at The Memorial, and punters get better odds than expected at $67.

If there is going to be an upset, picking a player who has experience in big tournaments is the way to go.

First Round Leader

Scottie Scheffler @ $12.00

Bet Now

We typically include another player in our first round leader picks, but Scheffler could go wire-to-wire this week.

He knows he needs to play better in the first round. He was –3 after two holes last week in Round 1, but he didn’t kick on with it to post a good score. That could change at The Memorial, and he should be looking to start much better.
