The revamped PGA Tour schedule continues on Thursday, July 9, when the 2020 Workday Charity Open tees off from Muirfield Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. We simulated this tournament 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. 

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, is coming off yet another win as it called Bryson DeChambeau taking the Rocket Mortgage Classic last weekend. It also has nailed two of the last three majors entering the weekend.

The model predicted Gary Woodland's first career major championship at the U.S. Open even though he wasn't the favorite entering the weekend. The result: Woodland held off a late charge from Brooks Koepka and won by three strokes. The model also called Koepka's historic victory at the 2019 PGA Championship, predicting he'd hold his lead in the home stretch. In all, the advanced computer model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend.

And already this season, the model called Justin Thomas (15-2) winning the CJ Cup, Rory McIlroy (11-2) taking down the WGC-HSBC Champions and Viktor Hovland (11-1) earning his first career PGA Tour victory at the Puerto Rico Open. Using the model for his best bets, McClure returned a whopping +788 during the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge, including nailing top-five bets on Xander Schauffele at 13-2 and Collin Morikawa at 9-1. 

The model was also extremely high on 30-1 long shot winner Webb Simpson at the RBC Heritage. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Simpson winning outright. Those who followed that advice saw a whopping +3000 return! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns. 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2020 Workday Charity Open: Brooks Koepka, a four-time major champion and one of the top Vegas favorites, stumbles and doesn't even crack the top 10! Another surprise: Viktor Hovland, who's a huge long shot at 22-1, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.

Also, the model is targeting FOUR OTHER golfers with odds of 22-1 or higher, including a MASSIVE long shot higher than 35-1. Anyone who backs this underdog could hit it BIG.
