![]() ![]() In his last start at the Farmers Insurance Open, he shot a four-under 68 at the tougher South Course at Torrey Pines before recording a disappointing two-over 74 at the North Course in the second round. Thomas finished third in 20, and was tied for eighth in 2022’s loaded leaderboard. His course history is strong at TPC Scottsdale with finishes in the top 17 during his last five appearances in the desert. Both were 25/1 for this event 12 months ago in a weaker field, so I’m going to pass on them.Ī player who I believe has a better chance to win than the odds indicate is Justin Thomas (22/1). Schauffele has a third- and second-place finish to show for at TPC Scottsdale the last two years (I also bet on him in this tournament last year). I had a bet on Scheffler last year and was fully focused on his two-man playoff against Patrick Cantlay instead of the first quarter of the Super Bowl. This is the event last year where Scheffler recorded his first PGA TOUR win and began a two-month heater that resulted in four victories, including the Masters. Scottie Scheffler (12/1) and Xander Schauffele (16/1) were two players that interested me in my early research. ![]() Both players are priced correctly, so I won’t be betting them at this number. McIlroy is coming off a win in Dubai, where he outdueled a personal rival and LIV defect Patrick Reed with a walk-off birdie putt. Rahm has played this event seven times in his career and has finished no worse than 16th place, meaning he’s a real threat to break through in an area he’s familiar with. Rahm already has two PGA TOUR wins in 2023 and played his college golf at nearby Arizona State. The field for this event is one of the strongest we’ll see this year, and it’s headlined by Jon Rahm (+750) and Rory McIlroy (8/1). The PGA TOUR made this one of the elevated events to compete with LIV Golf and almost every good player still committed to the TOUR will play this week. This year, there’s more juice to the event with a $20 million purse (up from $9 million in 2022), and the Super Bowl is being played in the same area this week. ![]() There’s been attention to this Super Bowl lead-in the last few years because of the party atmosphere on the grounds.
