Picks to Win & Best Bets for the Truist Championship

Well, last week was a little bit of a snoozefest. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler took control of that tournament very early and didn’t take his foot off the neck. Just a dominant performance.

But this week should be a different story.

A field full of the world’s best players—minus Scheffler—is in Philadelphia for the Truist Championship—formally known as the Wells Fargo Championship—the sixth signature event of the season. This year’s edition is being held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club because its regular host, Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina, is the venue for next week’s PGA Championship.

Rory McIlroy is the clear favorite and Las Vegas agrees. He enters at 4/1 odds to hoist the hardware, with Collin Morikawa next on the list at 14/1. He’s made just one start since finishing off the Career Grand Slam at the Masters, a T-12 finish alongside Shane Lowry at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Now, let’s pick a winner.

Picks to Win the Truist Championship

We’re flying blind in Philly. Never seen this course before, no past performances to go off of. It’s a tough spot. So here’s what we’ll do. Let’s target some great total drivers and players who’ve collected some high finishes in the last few months. Let’s do it.

Collin Morikawa (14/1)

Morikawa has been flirting with a W all year. Now, he’ll make his first appearance with Joe Greiner on the bag. A few weeks ago, Greiner helped Justin Thomas finally return to the winner’s circle at the RBC Heritage. Maybe he can have the same influence on Morikawa.

Tommy Fleetwood (28/1)

The Englishman, like Morikawa, has played great golf all year long. Across eight starts, he’s finished worse than T-22 just once (T-62, Valero Texas Open). Last time I checked, that’s pretty good. He’s coming off a solo-seventh finish at the RBC Heritage, and I think his game travels. Wherever Fleetwood plays, he can compete.

Shane Lowry (35/1)

Just another guy who’s played some G in 2025. He tied for 12th with McIlroy at the Zurich, but tied for 18th at the RBC Heritage the week before and had a great week at the Masters before a final-round 81. In all, he has seven top-25 finishes in 10 starts this season. I’ll take that. Plus, it’s always nice backing a guy who’s gonna hit fairways, excel with long irons, and roll his rock. Oh, and he has arguably the best short game on TOUR.
