2023 Tour Championship odds, picks: Proven model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising PGA golf predictions
The 2023 PGA FedEx Cup Playoffs conclude with the 2023 Tour Championship this week, putting a bow on the 2022-23 PGA Tour schedule. Golfers have been awarded starting strokes based on their ranking, with Scottie Scheffler heading into Thursday's opening round atop the leaderboard with a two-stroke lead at 10-under-par. Viktor Hovland (-8), Rory McIlroy (-7) and Jon Rahm (-6) are sitting behind Scheffler in the 30-man field at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Scheffler is the +140 favorite, while McIlroy is +330 and Hovland is +500.Â
We simulated the 2023 Tour Championship 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. Join SportsLine here to see the model's shocking projected leaderboard.
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 more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure's model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure's best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!  Join SportsLine now to see the model's shocking Tour Championship picks from 10,000 simulations!
The top 30 golfers in the world are heading to Atlanta this week after 20 more players were eliminated last week. East Lake opened in 1908 and was first redesigned by Donald Ross in 1913. The current layout was designed by Rees Jones in 2008, with the par 72 measuring 7,346 yards. Zach Johnson set the course record when he scored a 60 in 2007, but he is not in the field this week.Â
One major surprise the model is calling for: Lucas Glover, who is in fifth place in the starting strokes at 5-under-par, stumbles this week and doesn't crack the top 10! Another surprise: Tommy Fleetwood, a 45-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.
Also, the model is targeting TWO OTHER golfers with odds of 40-1 or longer who will make surprising runs at the title! Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any picks!Â
So who wins the Tour Championship 2023, and which HUGE longshots make a serious run at the title? ... Join SportsLine right now to see who you can bank on to win, and see which longshots make a run at the title, all from the model that's nailed 10 majors, including this year's Masters and Open Championship!Â
