The PGA Tour heats up this week with the 2026 Truist Championship at Charlotte's iconic Quail Hollow Club, teeing off Thursday at 7:45 a.m. ET. As a Signature Event—matching last week's Cadillac Championship in prestige—this tournament serves as the perfect warm-up for the PGA Championship, the year's second major, just one week away. While World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler sits this one out, all eyes are on Rory McIlroy, the +500 favorite according to FanDuel odds.
McIlroy leads a stacked field, but the competition is fierce. Cameron Young, fresh off a wire-to-wire victory at the Blue Monster, sits at +950. Xander Schauffele (+1000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+1500), and Ludvig Aberg (+1600) round out the top contenders, making this a must-watch event for golf fans and bettors alike.
For those looking to sharpen their picks, SportsLine's proven computer model—built by DFS pro Mike McClure—has simulated the Truist Championship 10,000 times. The results? Nothing short of surprising. This model has an incredible track record, nailing 17 majors, including the 2026 Masters (its fifth straight) and last year's PGA Championship and Open Championship. If you've followed its picks, you know the potential for big returns.
One standout prediction: the model is fading Si Woo Kim, despite his +2500 odds and three top-10 finishes in his last four events. He barely cracks the top 20 in the projected leaderboard, making him a risky bet this week. For the full projected leaderboard—perfect for PGA picks, One and Done contests, or DFS lineups—head to SportsLine now.
