The PGA Tour's Signature Event series continues this week with the 2026 Truist Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., kicking off Thursday. Following the intensity of last week's Cadillac Championship and arriving just ahead of the PGA Championship—the second major of the season—this tournament promises high stakes and even higher drama.

While World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler sits this one out, all eyes are on World No. 2 Rory McIlroy. According to the latest FanDuel odds, McIlroy enters as the +600 favorite (risk $100 to win $600). But the field is stacked with talent, including Cameron Young at +950 after his wire-to-wire victory at the Blue Monster last week. Xander Schauffele (+1000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+1500), and Ludvig Aberg (+1800) round out the top contenders, making this a wide-open battle for the title.

For those looking to sharpen their golf betting picks, PGA DFS lineups, or One and Done selections, the proven computer model at SportsLine has crunched the numbers. Built by DFS pro Mike McClure, the model simulates every PGA Tour event 10,000 times, delivering insights with a track record of profitability. It has correctly predicted an impressive 17 majors, including the 2026 Masters—its fifth consecutive correct Masters pick—as well as last year's PGA Championship and Open Championship.

One surprising call from the model this week: fading Si Woo Kim. Despite being tied for sixth on the odds board at +2500 and boasting three top-10 finishes in his last four events, Kim barely cracks the top 20 in McClure's projected leaderboard. That makes him a golfer to avoid when building your betting or fantasy lineups.

Whether you're a seasoned bettor or a fan looking to get in on the action, the model's full projected leaderboard offers a data-driven edge for the Truist Championship. Head to SportsLine to see the complete picks and predictions before the first tee shot at Quail Hollow.
