The Players Championship Golf Pick & Prediction – Thursday, March 13, 2025

The Players Championship is set to take place soon at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida on Thursday, March 13. Golfers will seek contention for the $25,000,000 prize purse and bragging rights for one of the toughest events of the year. Current odds show that Scottie Scheffler is favored at +400 at MyBookie.

The Players Championship Betting Preview

The Players Championship is an iconic event in PGA history, as many have deemed this to be the “fifth major” on the Tour calendar. Golfers will need to be able to navigate roughly the 7,350-yard course that is a Par 72. In addition, the greens are Bermuda grass, so golfers must adjust if they have a problem with the speed in putting.

If you are a golf fan you cannot miss this event, as 48 of the world’s top-50 will be in attendance. This also includes Scottie Scheffler, who is looking for his third consecutive win at this event.

This should be an intense first couple of days, as the 144-man field will be condensed down to 65 after the 36-hole cut (including ties). If your favorite golfer hopes to make the cut, they better have strong strokes gained stats and be able to make putts with ease.

Golfers That Could Win

The Players Championship

Scottie Scheffler +400

Scheffler won in 2023 with a score of -17 and in 2024 with -20. He is the top-ranked golfer in the world and has a great shot at winning his third consecutive Players Championship.

He recently finished T11 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and has had a great start to this season. This includes a T3 at the Genesis Open, T25 at the Phoenix Open, and T9 at Pebble Beach. Look for him to crack the top 10 at one of his favorite events.

Russell Henley +3000

Henley has all the momentum in the world right now after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational. While he missed the cut at the Players in 2024, you could argue that he is in better shape now.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

MyBookie showcases the best Players Championship betting odds. While Scheffler is heavily favored at +400 compared to other competitors, one golfer is quietly getting better and making a great case for victory.

Ludvig Aberg tied eighth here last year, which was also his debut at this event. The 25-year-old had an amazing run last season, especially with a second place finish at the Masters (also his debut), right behind Scheffler.

You can make the argument that he is one of the better drivers in the field and he has the approach game comparable to some of the elite golfers in the field too. He also recorded at the Genesis Open back in February and placed fifth at The Sentry in January. Look for Aberg to make a big wave here.

Final Pick: Ludvig Aberg +1600
