Why Bet on Scottie Scheffler at the Genesis Invitational?

The simple reason why Scottie Scheffler with +550 odds is the best bet to win the Genesis Invitational is that he is the best golfer in the world.

Scheffler has been the top-ranked player in the World Golf Rankings since the 2023 PGA Championship.

A more nuanced approach also suggests that Scheffler’s putting in 2025 suggests he is due for a win after just two events.

Scottie Scheffler has gained strokes putting in both of his PGA Tour events this season:

• Waste Management Phoenix Open: 0.521 SG Putting (28th best)
• AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: 0.497 SG Putting (22nd best)

For other highly ranked golfers, those strokes gained putting statistics often mean that they may be in contention to win or finish inside the top 20. For Scheffler last season, gaining strokes putting meant it was more likely that he was going to win the tournament than not.

Consider some of these incredible stats from Scheffler last year in the 14 events in which he gained strokes with the flat stick:

• Scheffler won 8 of the 14 events
• His worst finish was T8
• His average total strokes gained was 12.896
• His worst strokes gained total was 5.775

His start to the season has not been nearly as successful in either event that he’s gained strokes putting:

• He has not won either event
• His best finish is T9
• His average total strokes gained is 5.023
• His best strokes gained total is 5.392

The biggest reason that Scottie Scheffler has not capitalized in either tournament that he’s gained strokes putting this season is that the rest of his game, specifically his around the green play, has been up to the standards he set last year.

Scottie Scheffler Strokes Gained Stats in 2024 vs 2025

Scheffler’s PGA Tour stats rankings are all worse this season than last season, except for his putting.

Luckily for bettors at legal sports betting sites, the reason for his worse stats is likely the fact that he’s rusty following the hand surgery he underwent following a cooking accident in December.

If Scheffler is able to continue shaking off the rust for his all-around game while maintaining his much-improved putting, he may have an even more incredible season this year than last. If that’s the case, now is the time to bet on Scottie Scheffler.

That’s especially true with the +550 boost at Bovada for Scottie Scheffler’s odds to win the 2025 Genesis Invitational.
