Scottie Scheffler stands alone atop the Charles Schwab Challenge betting odds this week, and the gap between him and the rest of the field is absolutely massive. Given his recent dominance, including his performance at the PGA Championship, the separation feels entirely justified.
Interestingly, Scheffler isn’t defending his title at Colonial Country Club this time around. He finished T-2 last year, five strokes behind Davis Riley. In a strange twist of fate, Riley just finished T-2 at Quail Hollow — five strokes behind Scheffler.
The betting market clearly sees Scheffler as the overwhelming favorite heading into Fort Worth. Let’s look at who’s chasing him.
Charles Schwab Challenge odds
Here are the top contenders as of Wednesday morning, according to DraftKings:
- Scottie Scheffler (+240)
- Jordan Spieth (+2200)
- Daniel Berger (+2200)
- Tommy Fleetwood (+2500)
- Hideki Matsuyama (+2800)
- Aaron Rai (+3000)
- Maverick McNealy (+3000)
- Harris English (+3500)
- Si Woo Kim (+4000)
- Robert MacIntyre (+4000)
- J.T. Poston (+4000)
- J.J. Spaun (+4500)
- Davis Riley (+5000)
- Davis Thompson (+5000)
- Brian Harman (+5500)
- Keith Mitchell (+5500)
The odds tell the story here. Scheffler at +240 means the bookmakers think he has nearly a 30% chance of winning, while nobody else is given better than a 4.5% chance. That’s what happens when you’ve been playing like he has.
Spieth, a past champion at Colonial who typically plays well on this course, sits alongside Berger as the closest challengers. But at +2200, they’re still considered nearly 10 times less likely to win than Scheffler.
Riley, despite winning here last year, finds himself at +5000 — a reflection of both the strength of the field and the difficulty of defending a title on the PGA Tour.
