The PGA Tour season continues with The Memorial, hosted by Jack Nicklaus, at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The signature event tees off on Thursday.

Scottie Scheffler is the back-to-back champion of The Memorial and the betting favorite heading into this year’s event. As usual, we’ll be looking for more value down the odds board.

Best Bet on Favorite to Win The Memorial

Matt Fitzpatrick +1900

Matt Fitzpatrick is putting together a career year, and he also owns a strong course history at Muirfield in recent years.

In addition to wins at the Zurich Classic, RBC Heritage, and the Valspar Championship, Fitzpatrick also finished runner-up in The Players Championship. Additionally, he’s produced top-20 finishes in both majors this year, including a T-14 finish in the PGA Tournament.

Two of Fitzy’s last three starts at Muirfield (T-5 in 2024 and T-9 in 2023) portend good things this weekend.

Best Bet on Sleeper to Win The Memorial

Sepp Straka +6200

Sepp Straka is trending toward a victory in this event after finishing third last year and T-5 in 2024.

Straka had a nice prep event with a T-12 finish at the Austrian Alpine Open back in his native Austria.

Straka is still looking for his first win this season after finishing runner-up at Pebble Beach and fourth at the Cadillac Championship. It could come this week at juicy odds.

Best Bet on Longshot to Win The Memorial

Akshay Bhatia +8000

Akshay Bhatia has improved his finish each year at The Memorial. He finished T-16 last year and T-22 in 2024 after missing the cut in his 2023 debut.

Bhatia, who has an elite short game, ranks fourth on tour in Strokes Gained: Putting (0.718), fifth in Putts Per Round (27.76), and sixth in putting average (1.693).

If Bhatia can be consistent off the tee, he should be in the mix for a win on Sunday. His short game gives him a significant advantage over most of the field.
