Many of the biggest names on the PGA Tour will be played at the 2020 Workday Charity Open this week when it leaves the Muirfield Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio on Thursday. The world’s top 10 players Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Cantlay lead the 2020 Workday Charity Open field. Other previous top winners like Patrick Reed, Jordan Spieth and Gary Woodland are among the 2020 Workday Charity Open contenders who will be looking to secure a much-needed victory.
Despite missing the cut in his last tournament, the Travelers Championship, Justin Thomas remains the 11-1 favorite in William Hill’s 2020 Workday Charity Open odds. Jon Rahm, who is ranked No. 2 in the world, is very close with a 12-1 PGA probability, while Hideki Matsuyama, Koepka and Cantlay are getting 14-1. Before blocking your 2020 Workday Charity Open picks or entering any PGA DFS tournament at sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, be sure to check out the golf predictions and projected leaderboard of the tested computer model on SportsLine.
The SportsLine prediction model, created by DFS pro Mike McClure, is earning yet another victory, calling Bryson DeChambeau the outright winner at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week. He has also nailed two of the past three majors entering the weekend. He predicted Gary Woodland’s first major championship at the United States Open, even though he was not the favorite going into the weekend. The result: Woodland contained a late charge from Brooks Koepka and won by three shots. The model also rated Koepka’s historic victory at the 2019 PGA Championship, predicting that he would maintain his lead in the final stretch.
In all, the advanced computer model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. This season, the model called Justin Thomas (15-2) winning the CJ Cup, Rory McIlroy (11-2) defeating Champions WGC-HSBC, and Viktor Hovland (11-1) earning their first PGA Tour victory in the Puerto Rico Open.
McClure also returned a staggering +788 during the Charles Schwab 2020 Challenge, which included betting in the top five on Xander Schauffele +650 and Collin Morikawa +900. Additionally, the model was extremely tall at 30-1 long shot winner Webb Simpson at RBC Heritage. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure’s best bets included Simpson winning completely. Those who followed that advice saw a huge return of +3000. Anyone who has followed their golf selections has seen huge gains.
Now that the Workday Charity Open 2020 field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head over to SportsLine now to see the full projected ranking.
The best predictions of the 2020 Workday Charity Open model
A big surprise that the model asks for at the Workday Charity Open 2020: Brooks Koepka, four-time main champion and one of the main favorites of Las Vegas with 14-1, stumbles in a big way and doesn’t even stay in the top 10. Koepka showed signs of a change when he finished seventh at RBC Heritage a couple of weeks ago, but he hasn’t been consistent enough this season to rely on these odds.
In seven PGA Tour events this season, he missed the cut twice and retired once. Outside of his top 10 at RBC Heritage, his best finish among the events he finished is 32nd at the Charles Schwab Challenge. It occupies the position number 192 in the tour in percentage of driving precision (54.22) and number 176 in percentage of greens in regulation (64.90). Those alarming stats make him a favorite of the 2020 Workday Charity Open to avoid this week.
Another surprise: Patrick Reed, a massive 33-1 shot, makes a great race for the title. You have a much better chance of winning than your odds imply, making it a target for anyone looking for a big payday. Reed is drawing more odds for Workday Charity Open 2020 due to his uneven play since the PGA Tour returned in June.
He finished T-7 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, but has missed the cut in two of the three events since then. But she has five top-10 finishes this season, including a victory in the WGC-Mexico Championship. He has been one of the best putters on the tour, ranking fourth in strokes won: placing and first in percentage of a putt. He’s also sixth on the tour on birdie average (4.50), making him one of the 2020 Workday Charity Open bets you should have finished.
How to make selections for 2020 Workday Charity Open
Additionally, the model says four other golfers with odds of 22-1 or higher will make a strong run for the title, including an astronomical shot of over 35-1. Anyone supporting these underdogs could go big. You can only see them here.
