2025 Hero World Challenge Odds: Scottie Scheffler runaway favorite

It may be Tiger Woods’ tournament, but Scottie Scheffler actually owns the Hero World Challenge. Scheffler, the world number 1, is back in the Bahamas this week and returns as the big betting favorite.

Gambling favorites for the Hero World Challenge 2025

According to Scheffler, this week is +140 to win Fanatics Sportsbook. While these odds may seem ridiculous, this is partly due to Scheffler’s form, tournament history and field. A handful of big names are competing in the Hero World Challenge, but the field is still down to just 20 players, with Rory McIlroy, typically Scheffler’s closest rival, playing at the Australian Open this week.

Not only has Scheffler won the Hero World Challenge the past two years, but he was also runner-up the two years before that (both times behind Viktor Hovland). That means he has won twice and finished second twice in his last four outings.

Now those odds make sense.

Robert MacIntyre has the second best odds at +1100, followed closely by Cameron Young (+1100). Keegan Bradley, fresh off his appearance in The Skins Game on Friday, is +1600 to win.

Although Woods is not in the field this year as he recovers from his latest back surgery, he will be on site and have a press conference at 9 a.m. ET on Tuesday.

The Hero World Challenge, an unofficial PGA Tour event, will air live on Golf Channel on Thursdays and Fridays from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM, with Golf Channel and NBC sharing the weekend broadcast.
