Scottie Scheffler +550

It is hard to pick against Scottie Scheffler. This guy is a machine, and one of the elite golfers in the world. In his last four events, Scheffler has finished in the Top 10 each time. Scheffler is coming off the win at the Arnold Palmer event last week. Before that, he was 10th at the Genesis. Scheffler just continues to dominate. He is tops on the tour in strokes gained and tee to green. He has the second best scoring average, and is second in greens in regulation. There is a good reason he is +550.

Rory Mcllroy +1200

While Rory is 8 for 8 in making cuts this season, and has two Top 10 finishes, his run has not been anywhere near like Scheffler so far. He has actually finished outside the Top 20 in his last five events. Last week he was 21st at the Arnold Palmer, but much of that was his 73 on the opening day. Mcllroy is second in driving distance so far on the tour, but some of his other numbers are not really good. The struggles for Mcllroy will be tested when he starts at TPC Sawgrass. The good thing about Rory is – his struggles do not usually last long.

Xander Schauffele +2000

This is a guy you can never count out if he is teeing off on Thursday. Schauffele is coming off a 25th place finish at the Arnold Palmer last week. He was 4th at the Genesis Invitational, and earlier had top ten finishes at the Farmers Insurance Open and third at the American Express.

Others to Consider:

Justin Thomas +2200
Patrick Cantlay +2500
Max Homa +2500
Viktor Hovland +2500
Collin Morikawa +2800
Will Zalatoris +2800
Hideki Matsuyama +3000

We have two final bets to make in this event. The first goes to Justin Thomas. Thomas is listed at +2200. He continues to play solid golf. Last week he was 12tth, which is his 5th Top 12 finish in six events this calendar year. He has won at this course before, and we are looking forward to seeing how he plays this season. The other bet to make here is Hideki Matsuyama. While he has yet to win an event here, we still like his form, and his ability to maneuver through a course. Hideki was injured a bit last week, and still finished in the Top 15. Matsuyama won the Genesis in February, so he clearly has seen his play pay off this season.

Enjoy the event and best of luck!
