The 2025 Players Championship heads for Round 3 at 8:25 a.m. ET. on Saturday at TPC Sawgrass. Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia are the co-leaders at 11 under, but they're being chased by several big names. 

Rory McIlroy, who is 9 under, is the +360 favorite (risk $100 to win $360) to win heading into the weekend according to the latest 2025 Players Championship odds, followed by Collin Morikawa (+450), Bhatia (+650), Lee (+750) and Scottie Scheffler (+1000).

Before making any 2025 Players Championship picks for the weekend, you NEED to see this PGA Tour best bets from Eric Cohen!

Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in seven tournaments over the last two seasons. He correctly identified Aaron Rai at +3300 odds in the 2024 Wyndham Championship, as well as Davis Thompson (2024 John Deere Classic, +2200), Bryson DeChambeau (2024 U.S. Open, +2000), Scottie Scheffler (2024 Players Championship, +550), Rickie Fowler (2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, +1400), Brooks Koepka (2023 PGA Championship, +2000), and Chris Kirk (2023 Honda Classic, +3500).

Anyone who has followed Cohen's predictions could have seen huge returns in those tournaments! Now, Cohen has studied the leaderboard at the Players and revealed his weekend best bets. 

For the Players Championship 2025 weekend, Cohen likes Will Zalatoris to finish in the top five (with ties), a prop that returns +220. 

"He leads the field on approach by a wide margin having gained more than three shots on the field in each of the first two rounds," Cohen said.

Cohen also has locked in three best bets to win, including one who returns more than +5000 AND another plus-money props for the weekend! You ABSOLUTELY need to see these golf picks before locking in any PGA Tour picks of your own.
