The PGA Tour schedule rolls on with its third consecutive stop in Florida this week as the 2023 Players Championship tees off from TPC Sawgrass on Thursday, March 9. The 2023 Players Championship features a star-studded field, headlined by Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler. Other proven PGA Tour champions such as Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay and Max Homa are among the 2023 Players Championship contenders who will be looking to finish on top of the leaderboard.
The latest 2023 Players Championship odds list Rahm and McIlroy as the 17-2 co-favorites. They’re followed by Scheffler (10-1), Thomas (19-1), Homa (19-1) and Cantlay (19-1) on the PGA odds board. Should you back one of those favorites at TPC Sawgrass, or should you look elsewhere for value? Before locking in your 2023 Players Championship 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 over $8,400 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model predicted Jon Rahm to finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions, the American Express and the Genesis Invitational. 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 Rahm’s (10-1) first career major championship…
