2025 Zurich Classic prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions
2025 Zurich Classic prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions The PGA Tour heads to Louisiana for the 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a special team event on the schedule. Teams will be made up of 2 golfers and they will play 2 rounds of best ball and 2 rounds of alternate shot, with a 36-hole cut trimming the field. The first round from TPC Louisiana begins Thursday. Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans from BetMGM Sportsbook's odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions. The team of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry headlines the field this week as they look to defend their title after winning in a playoff last year. Collin Morikawa and Kurt Kitayama are also among the favorites, as is the team of Thomas Detry and Robert MacIntyre. TPC Louisiana will play at 7,425 yards as a par 72 this week, and despite there being water hazards throughout the course, it typically yields low scores in this event. The winners have finished between 20-under and 30-under par in each of the last 7 years. WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+!

Nicolai Hojgaard and Rasmus Hojgaard (+500) Alex and Matt Fitzpatrick were pleasant surprises to everyone as a brother tandem last year, so why not the Hojgaard boys this year? They're both in good form and having solid seasons, and given their close relationship, they've likely played several two-man events as partners before. Thomas Detry and Robert MacIntyre (+350) MacIntyre finished 66th last week and missed the cut at the Masters, but he could get back on track this week with Detry as his partner for the second straight year. They tied for eighth last year and could be poised for an even better performance this season with some additional experience under their belts. Zurich Classic – Top-10 picks Karl Vilips and Michael Thorbjornsen (+350) Vilips and Thorbjornsen were friends and teammates at Stanford, so they have experience playing together and should know each other's game well. That always helps, especially in alternate shot when the pressure is amplified. Akshay Bhatia and Carson Young (+320) Bhatia has been putting it well this year, which is a positive sign for his overall development. His ball-striking is always a strength, too. Young has been excellent off the tee this season, ranking 25th on tour in that category for strokes gained. Zurich Classic – Top-20 picks Joel Dahmen and Harry Higgs (+225) Dahmen fell apart in the last 3 holes at the Corales Puntacana Championship, bogeying each one to lose by a single shot. He'll try to move past that massively disappointing finish in this team event where he made the cut last year with Keith Mitchell as his partner. Aaron Rai and Sahith Theegala (-110) These are simply 2 very good ball strikers who could be a legitimate contender come Sunday. Theegala can get a bit wild off the tee and he's not having an especially good season, but Rai's irons will give them plenty of makeable birdie looks. Zurich Classic – First-round leader Detry and MacIntyre (+2800) You could go chalk with McIlroy and Lowry at +1100, but there's more value on Detry and MacIntyre in an event with such high variance.

Thomas Detry closes in style for first PGA Tour victory at 2025 WM Phoenix Open
Thomas Detry closes in style for first PGA Tour victory at 2025 WM Phoenix Open Thomas Detry could sense his lead slipping away. Winless in his career on the PGA Tour, his five-shot advantage on Sunday had momentarily been trimmed to two but the 32-year-old Belgian was determined this time would be different. 'This one," he said, "nobody was going to take it away from me.' He stepped up to make a clutch birdie putt at 15 and then hit the shot of the final round at the par-3 16th to secure his first PGA Tour victory at the WM Phoenix Open. Detry dialed in a 9-iron from 180 yards that bounced once on the green, hopped and spun to a stop inside 2 feet from the hole to set up a birdie. 'Everything he's doing is obviously very good. He should keep doing that,' said Justin Thomas, who called Detry "freakishly talented" while serving as a guest commentator on CBS Sports. 'That's why he's leading the tournament and I'm sitting here done for the week.' Detry closed with birdies on the final four holes to shoot 6-under 65 at TPC Scottsdale and beat Daniel Berger and Michael Kim by seven strokes. In doing so, Detry became the first Belgian to win on the Tour. Detry, the 2016 Big Ten champion, had followed fellow countryman Thomas Pieters to University of Illinois, where men's golf coach Mike Small beat into his team's head to play by the mantra of 'poor, hungry, determined." 'That's the way to approach a tournament and approach golf,' Detry said. Detry has steadily improved since turning pro but victory had been elusive. The two-time Olympian's only previous wins? By 12 strokes on the DP World Tour's Challenge Tour and at the 2018 World Cup. But he couldn't get over the line on the PGA Tour. Every time he was in the thick of the trophy hunt, his heart raced and he had a bad habit of jumping ahead and thinking about what a victory would mean to him. For the past two years, at the advice of his wife and his sports psychologist, he's been meditating and he noticed a calmness and comfort level this time after shooting 66-65-65 to build a commanding five-stroke lead. However, the likes of Jordan Spieth and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler were lurking and Detry's lackluster final-round scoring average meant it was too soon to inscribe the Belgian's name on the trophy. Add in the fact that he struggled through a fitful night of sleep, waking at 4 a.m., and failing to get back to sleep and it wasn't setting up to be a walk in the park at the tournament affectionately known as the People's Open. Scheffler birdied four of his first six holes to jump into contention but he bogeyed No. 12 and the wheels fell off. He came home in 41 to finish T-25. Spieth closed in 68 and finished T-4, his best result since the WM Phoenix Open a year ago, but never got closer to the lead than four strokes. 'All in all, it was a big progress week for me,' Spieth said. 'I didn't feel like this was a one-off. It felt like this is just trending the right direction.' Detry birdied two of the first three holes – a 12-footer at 1 and a left-to-right bending 14 footer at 3 – around a bogey at the second. He strung together seven pars in a row before a birdie at 11 and looked to be waltzing to victory. But not so fast. Berger, winless in four years during which he was sidelined for 18 months, birdied three holes in a four-hole stretch beginning at No. 12, the last of which reduced Detry's lead down to two strokes, momentarily. 'In the back of your mind, you've got a five-shot lead, don't blow it, don't blow it,' he admitted thinking. Detry responded at 15 by stroking in his 7-foot birdie putt. Then he didn't even realize he had stiffed it at 16, brushing in his birdie putt while Berger made bogey and the lead returned to five. Game, set, match. "Every time I felt like I made a birdie, he made one back," Berger said. "He was playing really great golf today, and he was deserving to win this." Detry tricked his mind into staying in the present and had a magician's touch on the greens. He closed out the round with two more superb birdies. He signed for a 72-hole total of 24-under 260 and romped to a seven-stroke victory as if this winning thing was old hat. For the week, he ranked first in Strokes Gained: Approach the Green, second in SG: Putting and third in SG: Tee to Green. 'Deep inside of me, I kind of really trusted myself,' he said. 'I felt like I've been doing a lot of really good things in the past to put myself in that position, and I felt like I was kind of ready to win.'
