The PGA Tour's hottest stretch of the season rolls on with the 2026 Truist Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., teeing off Thursday. As a Signature Event—matching the status of last week's thrilling Cadillac Championship—this tournament arrives just one week before the PGA Championship, the second major of the year. While World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler sits this one out, all eyes are on Rory McIlroy, the World No. 2 and +550 favorite according to the latest 2026 Truist Championship odds on FanDuel.
But McIlroy isn't the only story. Cameron Young, fresh off a wire-to-wire victory at the Blue Monster last week, enters at +850, proving he's a force to be reckoned with. With the field stacked and momentum shifting fast, it's a perfect week for fans to dive into PGA DFS picks or One and Done contests—and the SportsLine model has already run the numbers.
Built by DFS pro Mike McClure, SportsLine's proprietary model has simulated every PGA Tour event 10,000 times, delivering golf betting picks that have been remarkably profitable. The model's track record is staggering: it has correctly predicted 17 majors entering the weekend, including the 2026 Masters (its fifth straight Masters win), plus last year's PGA Championship and Open Championship. For anyone following its picks on betting sites, the returns have been massive.
Now, with the 2026 Truist Championship field locked in, the model has run its simulations again—and the results are turning heads. One major surprise? It's fading Si Woo Kim, who sits sixth on the odds board at +2200 but barely cracks the top 10 in McClure's projected leaderboard. Kim has been red-hot with three top-10 finishes in his past four events, including a T4 at the Cadillac Championship and a solo eighth at last year's PGA Championship at this very course. But the model sees trouble ahead at Quail Hollow, making him a risky pick this week.
For the full projected leaderboard—perfect for PGA picks, one and done contests, or DFS lineups—head to SportsLine now. And don't forget to check the latest offers on DraftKings to get started. The Truist Championship is shaping up to be a must-watch, and the model's insights could be your edge.
