The 2025 Truist Championship tees off this weekend from Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Golf Course in Philadelphia, as the PGA Tour season continues.
Reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy is the strong betting favorite to win the Truist Championship at +450 odds at DraftKings. McIlroy also won this even last year.
Next up on the odds board is Collin Morikawa at +1400 to win the Truist Championship. He's followed by Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg, both at +1600, Justin Thomas at +1800, and Patrick Cantlay at +2000.
Here is my Truist Championship betting card for this weekend, including golf best bets and PGA Tour predictions.

Truist Championship Predictions
Corey Conners +3000
I'm skipping right over the top of the board this week. Rory McIlroy is coming off the biggest win of his career, Justin Thomas feels overpriced after his win at the RBC Heritage, and I'm not enamored with the recent forms of Collin Morikawa or Xander Schauffele.
Corey Conners is one of the best total drivers of the ball in the field. He should be able to hit plenty of fairways this week.
He's also one of the best iron players in the field, so his greens in regulation rate should be near the top of the field.
He's not known for his short game, but he has gained strokes around the green in six of his last seven events and has gained strokes putting in five of his last seven events.
We've seen him win on bentgrass greens before. I like his chances this week.
Russell Henley +3500
Asking Russell Henley to win twice in a span of a couple of months is a lot, but he's playing some great golf and should be an excellent fit for this golf course.
Henley is one of the most accurate drivers of the ball and is one of the best iron players on tour. Unlike Conners, Henley is known for his short game. He's elite around the green and has had a career year with the flatstick.
If you look at the courses he tends to play the best on, they are usually shorter par 70s, so he should find Wissahickon to his liking.
He's proved that he can win a Signature Event with a victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He might as well win another one.
Shane Lowry +3500
Shane Lowry only has three wins on the PGA Tour in his career. And technically, he only has one solo win in America. He won the 2019 Open Championship in Ireland and won the Zurich Classic in 2024, which is a team event.
It's about time he picks up another win.
Lowry is one of the best iron players in the field, and he's one of the best scramblers in the field. I am banking on that combination working wonders this week at a course that has tricky greens. Lowry has been in solid form all year.
Keegan Bradley +5000
Keegan Bradley is an auto-bet whenever he gets to play a course that is in the Northeast. He dominates on courses in the area (as does Patrick Cantlay, who nearly made my outright card).
Bradley is hoping to play his way onto the Ryder Cup team this fall and winning an event or two would do wonders for that goal. He's a good total driver of the ball, he's a good iron player, and he's been one of the best in the field around the green over the last 24 rounds.
His putter has held him back recently, yet he's still managed to be a top 20 machine this year. He's one good putting week away from contending again.

Truist Championship Course Preview: Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Golf Course
The Wissahickon Course at Philadelphia Cricket Club is an original A.W. Tillinghast design. In 2013, it underwent a restoration to return the course to its original 1922 glory. Unlike most courses on the PGA Tour, this isn't one that can be overpowered. We haven't seen a professional event here since 2016 (Senior Players Championship), but the course held its own. Bernhard Langer won with a score of +1. Obviously, this is a much better field than that event had and golf has come a long way in the past nine years, but it shows that this course has some teeth.
On the scorecard, the Wissahickon Course is a par-70 that measures 7,119 yards. Like most older courses, it is fairly generous off the tee and doesn't feature many doglegs. With fairways that are 30-32 yards wide, we should see a fairly high driving accuracy number this week, especially since golfers won't need to hit driver on every hole. If you are looking at off-the-tee metrics, I would focus on good drive percentage or total driving.
The greens are the main defense of the course. They are raised up and surrounded by bunkers. With 3-4-inch rough, golfers will need to play from the fairway if they want to give themselves good birdie looks. Most of the greens slope from back to front, so golfers will look to run the ball up when they get out of position off the tee. The greens feature pure bentgrass if you want to look at putting splits this week.
In terms of course fit, we don't have any data to work with from past tournaments. Without a concrete idea of what type of golfer to target, we have to do some guess work. I'm placing a big emphasis on strokes gained approach, strokes gained around the green, and bogey avoidance. I'm also looking at strokes gained per round on short par-70 courses and courses located in the Northeast.
