Collin Morikawa is sitting on 16-to-1, and the Bay Hill runner-up is going to get bet on the perception that his ballstriking will carry him here.

2025 The Players Championship betting picks

The Players tends to produces top-tier champions since the move back to March from May. Rory, Scottie twice in a row, Cam. No one longer than 30/1 has won here since the move back to March.

In that case, give me Hideki Matsuyama. He's been top six here the last two years. Collin Morikawa has the perfect game for this place.

Wyndham Clark is going to get a lot of love this week, but I fear his wild driver could cause problems. Maybe a tepid bet. What about Sepp Straka and Daniel Berger instead?

On the super-longshot side, Hayden Springer is my look because of his Q-School success at Dye's Valley and a decent year in three starts.
