Truist Championship Prediction, Picks and PGA Prop Bets on May 8: McIlroy (+400) the Choice

Headlining this week’s field is Rory McIlroy, who is arguably the best golfer in the world, and his +450 odds are warranted.

Top 4 Truist Championship Picks

1. Rory McIlroy (+450)

I cashed with the +250 odds for Scottie Scheffler to win last week, and I’m happy to take Rory McIlroy at slightly better odds.

McIlroy faces a much harder field than what Scheffler faced in Texas last week, but McIlroy is red-hot after winning both the Players and Masters in 2025, and we don’t think he’ll stop at just those wins.

There is every chance he wins at least one more major, and for those who bet on golf, getting +400 odds for McIlroy is good shopping. The next best in the market is Collin Morikawa, who hasn’t won in years, so the time is now to back McIlroy, especially with Scheffler taking a week off.

2. Xander Schauffele (+1600)

My golf bets include Xander Schauffele, who has made a good return to golf following an injury over the winter.

The American finished T18 at the RBC Heritage, which followed a T8 at The Masters, so he has good performances on his 2025 record. He is one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA Tour, and having major-winning experience is something most of the field doesn’t have.

The 31-year-old should be over his injury, and he’s being respected in betting at +1600. Therefore, include him in PGA tournament picks for the Truist Championship.

3. Keegan Bradley (+4500)

The Team USA Ryder Cup captain might have a case to pick himself later this year as he’s playing solid golf.

Keegan Bradley finished T18 at the RBC Heritage alongside Schauffele, and he also posted a top-20 finish at The Players. He also has a T5 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a win in the 2024 BMW Championship.

He’s a big-time player, and the Truist Championship is a big tournament. He’s worth including in golf picks at generous +4500 odds.

4. Rasmus Hojgaard (+9000)

Rasmus Hojgaard narrowly ousted his brother Nicolai last week to make the Truist Championship field, and he could make the most of it.

The former DP World Tour player has enough talent to win the PGA Tour, and alongside his brother, he showed that when finishing second in the pairs event two weeks ago.

That should give him confidence, and the rookie has DP World Tour wins on his record, so that winning experience can’t be overlooked, especially at +9000. Include him in PGA predictions this week.
