Before locking in any 2025 Hero World Challenge picks, you NEED to see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from elite golf expert Brady Kannon.

Kannon is an elite golfing handicapper with more than 30 years of experience in the industry. He hit on his fifth outright winner of the season with Tommy Fleetwood at the Tour Championship and then correctly landed on Europe to win the Ryder Cup by 1-3 points - and Cameron Young as top US Scorer.

He's also hit Hideki Matsuyama (22-1), Harris English (110-1), Ludvig Aberg (25-1), and Ben Griffin/Andrew Novak (25-1) in New Orleans. Since joining SportsLine, he's 19-13-4 on head-to-head bets. Anyone who followed his lead could have been WAY UP!

Now, Kannon has been digging into this week's field to find the best betting value and just locked in his best bets and longshots to back. 

This week, Kannon is backing Scheffler (+150 at BetMGM). "Yep. No surprise as to who checks the most boxes from this week's criteria. Both Scheffler and I are going for the hat trick. He of course is the two-time defending champion and I have been on him for each of those wins, two years ago at 4-1, last year at +225, and now at +150. He is No. 1 or No. 2 in every stat I considered except for SG: Putting (Bermudagrass) for which over the last 24-rounds, he is fifth in this field. He's won at Royal Portrush, TPC Craig Ranch, and is a two-time champion at TPC Scottsdale. On a golf course that seems to very much suit his game, against only 19 other players - until he is no longer being offered at plus money, I will continue to bank on him here in the Bahamas."

Kannon is also jumping on a longshot to win, at 23-1 or higher! Anyone who backs them could cash in HUGE.
