The PGA Tour's hottest stretch of the season rolls into Charlotte this week for the 2026 Truist Championship at Quail Hollow Club, and the buzz is already building. As a Signature Event—matching the prestige of last week's 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 +600 favorite according to FanDuel odds. But is the Northern Irishman the smart bet, or should you look elsewhere?

McIlroy isn't the only name stirring excitement. Cameron Young, fresh off a wire-to-wire victory at the Blue Monster last week, sits at +950, while Xander Schauffele (+1000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+1500), and Ludvig Aberg (+1600) round out a stacked leaderboard. With so much talent in the field, picking the right player for your golf bets, DFS lineups, or One and Done contests requires more than just a hunch.

That's where SportsLine's proven computer model comes in. Built by DFS pro Mike McClure, this model has simulated every PGA Tour event 10,000 times—and its track record speaks for itself. It's correctly predicted an incredible 17 majors, including the 2026 Masters (its fifth straight), last year's PGA Championship, and The Open Championship. Anyone following its picks has seen serious returns on betting sites.

So what does the model say about the 2026 Truist Championship? One surprising call: fade Si Woo Kim. Despite being seventh on the odds board at +2500 and riding three top-10 finishes in his last four events (including a T4), the model barely places him inside the top 10 of its projected leaderboard. That's a red flag worth heeding.

Whether you're building your DFS lineup or hunting for a longshot bet, the model's full projected leaderboard is a must-see. Head to SportsLine now to see the picks that could make this week at Quail Hollow your most profitable yet.
