The greens of Quail Hollow Club are calling, and the 2026 Truist Championship is shaping up to be a can't-miss event. All eyes are on Cameron Young, who arrives in Charlotte fresh off a thrilling victory at last week's Cadillac Championship in Miami. Can he make it two Signature Event wins in a row? It won't be easy, especially with Rory McIlroy leading the pack as the +500 favorite and Young right behind at +950.
The stage is set on the par-71, 7,583-yard layout at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C., a course that demands power and precision in equal measure. Joining the chase are heavy hitters like Xander Schauffele (+1000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+1500), Ludvig Aberg (+1600), and Tommy Fleetwood (+2200). But before you place any bets, you'll want to hear what SportsLine golf expert Brady Kannon has to say.
Kannon isn't just any handicapper—he's been a top-tier analyst for over 30 years. His résumé includes calling eight major winners since 2013 and hitting six PGA winners in 2025 alone, including a massive 110-1 longshot in Harris English at the Farmers Insurance Open. Just last month, he nailed Matt Fitzpatrick at 15-1 for an outright win at the Valspar Championship. With a solid 37-32-5 record on head-to-head bets, Kannon knows the course and the field inside out.
One of his biggest calls for this tournament? He's fading Min Woo Lee at 33-1 odds on FanDuel. It might seem surprising given Lee's reputation as one of the game's biggest hitters, but Kannon sees trouble ahead. "As one of the bigger hitters in the game, the Australian might appear to be an attractive selection this week, but it hasn't gone so well for Lee here at Quail Hollow in the past," Kannon explains. "He missed the cut at last year's PGA Championship in his only prior visit to this golf course. He's competed in two tournaments at Torrey Pines and finished 43rd and 48th. Lee was cut at The Masters last month, then finished nearly dead last at Harbour Town the next week. He returned to action last week at Doral to finish 18th—but in that solid finish, he did it all with the putter, and that is not a formula I believe is sustainable."
Whether you're backing Young's momentum, McIlroy's star power, or hunting for a sleeper, the Truist Championship promises drama from start to finish. Check out Kannon's full breakdown for best bets, prop picks, and golfers to avoid before the first tee shot on Thursday.
