The American Express 2023 is set to get underway on Thursday, Jan. 19, and a number of players will enter this week’s event confident they can secure the victory. Jon Rahm is coming off a victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and he’s finished T-8 or better in four of his last five official starts on the PGA Tour. Rahm enters the 2023 American Express ranked first in birdie average (6.50), second in greens in regulation percentage (79.86%) and third in scoring average (69.180).
Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, a four-time PGA Tour champion, can add to his impressive resume with a victory at the 2023 American Express.

Before locking in your 2023 American Express 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 of 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model predicted Jon Rahm (+800) to finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions. The model also included J.T. Poston in its best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet hit at +5500, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned almost $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s model was all over Scottie Scheffler’s first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. The model was also all over Jon Rahm’s (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead…
