The Turner Prize 2025 Odds:

Punters can bet on the winner of the 2025 Turner Prize at William Hill and here is the current state of the market:

• Mohammed Sami – 5/6
• Nnena Kalu – 2/1
• Zadie Xa – 3/1
• Rene Matic – 5/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “For the 250th anniversary of JMW Turner’s birthday, this year’s Turner Prize has come to Bradford and judging by the betting, while there is a clear favourite, the four finalists are closely matched.

“That favourite is Mohammed Sami at 5/6 (equivalent to a 55% chance) for his exhibition ‘After The Storm’, with the next shortest candidate in the betting being Nnena Kalu at 2/1.

“Both Zadie Xa (3/1) and Rene Matic (5/1) aren’t that far away though, so it will be fascinating to see which artist is announced as this year’s winner.”
