The PGA Tour season continues this week with the 2023 Players Championship. Play gets underway from TPC Sawgrass on Thursday, March 9. Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are the 17-2 co-favorites in the latest 2023 Players Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook. They're followed by Scottie Scheffler (10-1), Justin Thomas (19-1), Max Homa (19-1) and Patrick Cantlay (19-1) on the PGA odds board. 

We simulated the 2023 Players Championship 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.

Our 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 correctly predicted that Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions, The American Express and 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 a massive 40-1 longshot. The model was also all over Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner.

This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Players Championship 2023: Scheffler, a five-time champion on the PGA Tour and one of the top Vegas favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top five! Another surprise: Viktor Hovland, a 27-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!

Also, the model is targeting THREE other golfers with odds longer than 25-1 who will make a STRONG run at the title! Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any 2023 Players Championship picks!
