The PGA Tour schedule has two tournaments this week with the 2025 Puerto Rico Open playing opposite the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The former will be held at Grand Reserve Golf Club’s Championship Course in Rio Grande, and it’s one of just seven courses on this year’s PGA schedule that measure over 7,500 yards. Even with the length, low scores will be expected at the Puerto Rico Open 2025 as the last five winners have all shot 19-under-par or better, including last year’s champion, Brice Garnett at 19-under.
Play tees off on Thursday, and despite his achievement a year ago, Garnett is a 40-1 long shot. The favorite in the latest 2025 Puerto Rico Open odds is Niklas Norgaard (18-1), with Ryan Gerard just behind him at 20-1. Pierceson Coody (25-1) is the only other golfer at 25-1 or shorter as he’s coming off three straight top 10s on the Korn Ferry Tour. Before locking in your 2025 Puerto Rico Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters — its third Masters in a row — and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.
Now that the 2025 Puerto Rico Open field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
2025 Puerto Rico Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Puerto Rico Open: Ryan Gerard, one of the top favorites at 20-1, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. Gerard has made the cut in each of his last six PGA Tour events, including all five this year, but he hasn’t truly threatened to win any of those tournaments. He has zero top 10s across this stretch, and for his PGA Tour career, the former UNC Tar Heel has just a pair of top 10s across 29 starts.
Gerard is solid with iron play but lacks length off the tee, which could be an issue this week. At 7,506 yards, Grand Reserve Country Club is the seventh-longest course on tour this season, and Gerard ranks 115th in driving distance — all drives, as well as 107th in total driving efficiency. His work on the greens also leaves lots to be desired as Gerard is 91st on tour in putting average. For someone who has obvious holes in his game and has yet to see his name near the top of the leaderboard, there are far better options to utilize Puerto Rico Open 2025 bets on. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Matti Schmid, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Schmid is coming off a solid 18th-place finish at the Cognizant Classic and has had previous success at the Puerto Rico Open. He was in contention for winning it all a year ago as he entered the final round tied for second before a rough Sunday, but he still finished the tournament with a top 10 finish.
As the coastal course that Grand Reserve is, wind can often wreck shots off the tee. However, Schmid has the power to mitigate windy conditions as he ranks 30th in driving distance out of 184 qualified golfers. Those long drives often lead to advantageous putting opportunities, and Schmid takes advantage of those. The German ranks 18th on tour in total putting but ranks third amongst those in the 2025 Puerto Rico Open field. Few can combine Schmid’s impressive course history with a game that suits this course, so he shouldn’t be overlooked despite his long odds. See who else to pick here.
