Heading into the American Express, the third event of the 2025 PGA Tour season, World No. 2 Xander Schauffele leads the betting favorites with +800 odds to win.
Schauffele, of course, broke through in a big way last season, capturing two major titles to rise to his current position in the World Ranking. He kicked off this season with a T30 at the season-opening Sentry (and then lost the inaugural TGL match, along with his New York Golf Club teammates, last week).
Sungaje Im comes in second on the odds list at +1400. Two of the top American players are tied for third at +1600: Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas.
You can see the top 20 and ties in American Express betting odds as of Monday morning below or head over to BetMGM to see the full list of odds and bets for this week.
