2025 Charles Schwab Challenge picks: Three long-shot bets for Colonial

The PGA Tour will make its annual stop at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth this week for the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge. Colonial has hosted a PGA Tour event every year since 1946, making it the longest-running non-major on the golfing calendar. There's a good reason why the Tour has stopped at this track for the last 79 years – this is a challenging course to play. Colonial is a par-70 that measures out 7,289 yards from start to finish and can play tough, especially if the wind picks up. The current forecast is calling for some thunderstorms Thursday and Sunday, with the windiest days expected to be Friday and Saturday. A tough course with some iffy weather makes this a tough tournament to project, but the bookmakers aren't being shy about taking a stance. Scottie Scheffler has been installed as a +250 favorite, which is giving off Tiger-in-his-prime vibes. The co-second favorites are Daniel Berger and Jordan Spieth, both of whom currently sport 22/1 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook. The field really opens up outside of the top four or five players, so this tournament is ripe for the picking when it comes to trying to find a big price. It's also produced plenty of long-shot winners, including Kevin Na (2019), Jason Kokrak (2021), Emiliano Grillo (2023) and Davis Riley (2024). Akshay Bhatia's lone PGA Tour win came in Texas in 2024. Getty Images 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge long shots Akshay Bhatia (70/1, FanDuel) Two months ago, it looked like Akshay Bhatia was on his way to big things in 2025. The 23-year-old had just put the finishing touches on a third-place finish at THE PLAYERS, his third top-10 finish in four starts between February and March. Things have stalled for Bhatia since then, with three missed cuts and no top-40 finishes in his last six starts. We'll buy the dip. Bhatia has as much talent as anybody in this field not named Scheffler, and he's proven to be the type of player who can handle challenging setups, like he saw at THE PLAYERS. Bhatia is a former PGA Tour winner, and that victory came in the Lone Star State at the 2024 Valero Texas Open. Betting on golf? Emiliano Grillo (100/1, FanDuel) There is a lot of boom or bust to Emiliano Grillo's game. When he's dialed in, Grillo can go tee-to-green with the best of them, but he's also a threat to completely come unglued at any moment. At 100/1 odds, you can live with that, especially since he's had a lot of great moments at this course. The Argentinian is a former champion at Colonial (2023), and has two other top-10 finishes in nine appearances at this track. Grillo's form is about what you'd expect it to be at this point in his career, with a missed cut and two top-20 finishes in his last four outings. Adam Schenk finished T5 at the CJ Cup in the beginning of May. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Adam Schenk (250/1, Caesars) Our last play will come on the man that Grillo defeated in a playoff at the 2023 iteration of this tournament, Adam Schenk. A long-time PGA Tour pro, Schenk has zero wins in 229 events, but he does have a couple of runner-up finishes and a handful of top-fives, including one three weeks ago at the CJ Cup, which took place just 56 miles away, just outside of Dallas. Schenk had missed seven of eight cuts around that T5 at the CJ Cup, but he's clearly comfortable in Texas, so we'll bet on him finally getting into the winner's circle at a massive price.

Did this reporter take a shot at LIV Golf's TV ratings during the WM Phoenix Open?
Did this reporter take a shot at LIV Golf's TV ratings during the WM Phoenix Open? Show Caption Hide Caption Watch: Emiliano Grillo talks about making ace on 16 at WM Phoenix Open Emiliano Grillo made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole at 2025 WM Phoenix Open, the 12th ace in tournament history at TPC Scottsdale Shots fired. LIV Golf's first event of 2025 concluded Saturday, with Adrian Meronk taking the title in Riyadh. The league debuted on Fox Sports this week, with the event taking place under the lights and being broadcast in the morning and into the early afternoon in the United States on FS2 all three days. When Nielsen released the initial ratings for the broadcast, they were not good. Only 12,000 people tuned in to the first round, but that number may be a bit deceiving. First, FS2 isn't in as many homes as the CW, LIV Golf's old broadcast partner. Second, the event wasn't in primetime. Ratings will also be higher when LIV events are on FS1 and especially Fox, but just how high is to be determined. LIV Golf's first U.S. event on Fox is at Trump Doral in April, a week before the Masters. Nevertheless, the 12,000 number isn't good. It's way less than the number of people who will attend LIV Golf Adelaide next week, and it's also fewer than the number of people on a certain hole this week. CBS' Colt Knost and Amanda Balionis were parked out at TPC Scottsdale's par-3 16th hole during the third round of the WM Phoenix Open, and shortly after CBS came on air, Knost took a chance to point out just how many people were on the famous par-3. As mentioned above, the 12,000 number is not positive any way you spin it, but it's also important to note the context of the viewership. But at a time when golf ratings are down across the board, and LIV continues to try to build a fanbase, a figure like the initial one isn't going to help quiet the naysayers.
