The Showdown odds, picks, start time: Proven golf expert reveals best bets, surprising predictions
Four of the biggest names in golf will compete in "The Showdown" at Shadow Creek Golf Club in Las Vegas. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will team up to face Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 6 p.m. ET.Â
The Showdown will feature a unique format, with four players engaging in a thrilling matchup over 18 holes. The match will be divided into three segments, each consisting of six holes. The first six holes will use a best ball format, meaning each player will play their own ball, but only the lowest score from each team will be counted. The next six holes will be alternate shots where the players take turns hitting the same ball until the hole is complete. The final six holes will conclude with singles play, promising to deliver a dynamic and entertaining competition.
According to the latest betting odds for The Showdown, Scheffler/McIlroy are going off as the -156 money line favorites (risk $156 to win $100), while DeChambeau/Koepka are the +128 underdogs (risk $100 to win $128). Before locking in your picks for The Showdown, you NEED to see the golf predictions from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure built SportsLine's proprietary model, which has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,500 on its best bets since June 2020, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters, its third Masters in a row, and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!Â
Now, McClure has turned his attention to The Showdown and locked in his best bet for this unique format.Â
McClure knows that Scheffler and McIlroy enter this matchup as the favorites for a reason. Scheffler is coming off a stellar season which saw him record seven wins and 16 top-10 finishes. He's also coming off a victory at the Hero World Challenge, an unofficial PGA Tour event. McIlroy also had a successful season and has been in contention at almost every event he's played on the DP World Tour in recent weeks. He secured a victory at the DP World Tour Championship in November and finished T-3 or better in four of his past five starts on the DP World Tour since September.Â
McClure has also taken into account that DeChambeau and Koepka will want to remind fans they're two of the best players in the world. These players have combined to win seven major championships. However, they've seen their rankings dip since joining the LIV Golf League, ranking 10th and 86th, respectively.
McClure has analyzed the betting odds and locked in a CONFIDENT pick on which team will win! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any picks for The Showdown.Â
